I work at a fast food restaurant. I showed up at 4:25 this AM and pulled in behind another lady that works there. We have to wait across the street until the mgr. shows up. The mgr. arrived, pulled up next to the other lady's car and spoke to her through the window. They both started across the street and I followed. I backed into my favorite slot and they pulled up in front of the east door with their vehicles still running and their lights on. I got out, crossed the parking lot and met them at the door. The mgr. said "y'all wait here a minute" , unlocked the door and went in. All this was very unusual so I asked the other lady "What's going on?" She said "The security co. called and said the alarm went off". I immediately went on point. There are three doors and she never looked at the other two. The mgr. returned, opened the door and said "Y'all come on in". The other lady said "Did you check the restrooms?" "No, hold on." She went back in, checked the restrooms, returned and said "OK, y'all come on in".
Then the mgr. told me "This is the proper procedure for this. Everybody pulls up in front of the door with their lights on while the mgr. checks everything out and then we all park our cars after everything is checked out".
I thought that was a d@mn foolish thing to do. If there realy was someone, possibly an armed robber, in the bldg., she could have gotten herself shot or taken hostage. I could have gotten shot in the process of him trying to escape. Remember, I am not allowed to carry at work, so I'm unarmed. If this happens again, I'm going back to my truck and wait behind it 'till it's all over. My life is worth more than $7 an hour.
Your opinion?
