Yep, first time ever my Walgreens was ever robbed, it was there since 1992. I just put my cart away.. and this black guy came in with a gun, at first I thought it was a joke, saw his face. Said give me the money so I did. Bleh, I'm still shaking.. Why does this have to happen to me? This week is just going straight down the pooper. =/

Police are investigating a robbery early Tuesday at Walgreens, according to emergency communication reports.
A man walked into the pharmacy just before 4:30 a.m. and demanded cash, reports state.
At least one witness told authorities he thought the suspect was armed with a gun. <- HE WAS.
No injuries were reported.
The suspect’s description was not available.
I'm really sorry to hear that Tails. I'm glad that you (and no one) was hurt. Take care of yourself first. That's the most important thing. Do what you need to do about the contest and other things.
Tails:
I'm glad you're Ok.
You did the right thing by giving them what they wanted.
I hope it never happens again.
Brawlmaster12344:
I am sorry to hear of your loss.
That is unusual for two people to pass on so closely to one another;
I hope you and your family will be Ok.

Brawlmaster, I'm sorry to hear about your family.
Not a good month at all.
It only took 2-3 hours to get over it, apparently I did everything right that my store manager was impressed.

either way, good job on keeping your cool.
:P I'm a 20 year old male who works from 10pm-8am for 7 days in a row and off 7 days.
lmao! Cookies? Oh yeah he only took 363 dollars. Default register for Walgreens is $200.

Wow, that must have been scary Tails. How much money did you give the guy?
$363, I was more worried about my PSP which was in my pocket. :P

@Brawlmaster: Sorry I didn't comment sooner about it, I am sorry for your loss.
Daaat witty responsë. Plus that nominating your thread ("I just got robbed") would be the epitome of irony, and seeing it win would be even better. Also the joke.
