Gas Station Hell: Terah's Custy Turns Out To Be Her Stalker

Shit has been getting ridiculous at work.

I'd like to start off by stating that, as a tribal establishment on land owned by said tribe, we WERE tax free for the most part. Beer had tax on it, but nothing else did. Until March 1st.

We started charging a 5% Tribal Tax. Now, the tax goes to benefit the tribe, I don't know why we have it, just that we do. And it's cheaper than state tax, but oh my god I've been cussed at so many times since we started it that I've finally started tuning people out and ending with 'Take it up with the chief, there's nothing I can do.'

Then, the other day I ended up getting so scared that I made myself sick. I mean, running a fever aches and chills sick.

The incident that caused this is non-retail related, so I'll leave it out (if you want to know, lemme know in the comments and I'll explain it there) but it ended in having a man threaten to rape and kill me. No, I'm sorry, I believe his exact words, to my mother, were 'Maybe I'll just rape Terah in the ass and slit her fucking throat!'

Now, this happened a year ago, but since he knows where I work, every worker in the store is aware of it and that I am NOT to wait on this man. I am to LEAVE my post at ONCE (the manager even said if I have to leave a line of people, get out of there). Well, I was in the window, and he pulls up. I didn't see it was him, I was putting something away and opened with 'Hi there! What can I get for y-'. My eyes went wide and I'm sure I went pale. He just glared and screamed, as loud as he could 'Can I get some goddamn cigarettes?!'

Seeing him freaked me out, having had to speak to him freaked me out, and I ran off, grabbing GoofyGuy and made him take the order. I ended up freaking out so bad I got dizzy and later developed said fever from it.

Later that same night, I found out S (Formerly named by me as 'Whore') got arrested. Sha-nay-nay opened her fat mouth on Facebook and made some kind of post that bashed the fact that S is going to have a baby. Understandably, S got mad. NOT so understandably, S decided to go kick Sha-nay-nay's ass. From what we had been told, by Sha-nay-nay, was that S pulled up in her driveway, picked up Sha-nay-nay's 1 year old daughter and, I quote, 'Threw her halfway across the driveway, cutting her up and putting a bump on her head.' If I knew more on this, I'd tell y'all, but I don't have details right now.

And finally, I think GoofyGuy quit or went on some kind of medical leave. All I know was he wasn't at work the other day and no one is talking about it. We got a phone call from his mother, who was ballistic for some reason. GoofyGuy about my age, why the hell is his mother calling when he goes on medical leave? I mean, I know he has a lot of hospital bills he can barely afford, but it shouldn't be her business what her grown son does.

That was my March so far, RHU. How's yours?

How in the name of Zeus's butthole are you still sane?

I extend my most heartfelt symapthies to you and direct positive thoughts your way, Terah! And isn't stalking illegal? Why isn't the guy who threatened you rotting in a prison cell right now?

Wow, talk about overreacting. Why didn't Whore/S take it up directly with Sha-nay-nay? No need to hurt a 1-year-old. That's horrible.

Best of luck and may all your customers be kindhearted souls.

Since you're on tribal lands, can the tribal police write/enforce a restraining order? A threat of assault like that should be taken very seriously. At least your managers have your back on that, and are at least letting you escape the window. Keep your sanity, Terah!

[Soft Ice Girl]

Wow, this is really fucked up.. how insane must someone be to threaten to rape and kill somebody? And how insane must someone be to assault a BABY?
Terah, keep your sanity! It will all pass, bad times are followed by good ones!

[Boho]

I understand how people would be upset. That 5% is a big deal..

Oh my goodness, I hope the baby's okay! I can't imagine the reaction I would have if someone hurt one of my kids! Lots of love and positive energy coming to you and all your friends, Terah! *hugs*

How is someone who threatened to rape and kill you even allowed to come within five miles of your store? There's got to be something you can do besides run and hide every time this asshole shows up. Restraining order? Jail? A bullet to the head?

And if anyone ever laid a hand on my son, I swear to whatever deity you want to believe in, it would be the last thing they ever did.

NC Tony said what I wanted to say. I hope that trash ends up in a coma or something. You don't deserve to have to relive that every time he comes in.

[KittyKatzchen]

I..have no words..

No, wait. Yes, I do. As someone who has been raped, this pisses me the fucking hell off and, gods forgive me, I hope that man gets put in jail and finds out first hand what he threatened you with.

Also, same with S. How the FUCK do you fucking throw a god damned 1 year old? what the unholy fucking hell is wrong with that cum dumpster? I'd ask if she was off her meds, but even off MY meds i'm not fucking psycho. FUCK! People make me fucking sick.

..I'm going to go viciously smoke my e-cig, now. People like this make me wish there was a death penalty for being a fucking douche nozzle.

[WMDKitty]

Um... as a survivor of abuse, HOLY FUCK! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that~!

*hugs*

[Terah]

So the kid is fine, as I found out later. Turns out, Sha-nay-nay lied about the 'throwing' incident... S got there, saw all the kids outside and went to leave, but Sha-nay-nay started the fight and got knocked back, landing on the kid. (The bitch is a liar, surprise surprise)

Also, the stalker is in the 'process' of being banned... but in our store that means keeping him in there for the 2 minutes it would take security to get there to make it official, and as I'm sure as hell not going to keep him in my line for that long, he's in and out just under the radar.

[Burger Bitch]

WTF is wrong with that guy?!? Do you know him outside of work or is he just some crazy delusional crusty who decided threatening you would get him what he wants? I am so sorry you had to deal with that. How did it even start?

[Poliana]

Urgh. Novel length cometnms about government. We are aware they auto tuned stuff about politics mainly, but I think most people are here for the autotuning.
