Terah's Gas Station Hell Continues: Shift Leader Shocker

 

As told to me in bits and pieces, I will relate to you connected the best I can.

 

We had a shift leader on Third Shift get arrested on Saturday. The day she started her vacation. Why was she arrested? ‘Armed Robbery’ of a WalMart. Well, it wasn’t ARMED ROBBERY at first, it was shoplifting, but the cops found a pocket knife in her purse and upped the charges.

 

The dude she was with, Whom I’ll call Roofer Dude, used to date Sha-nay-nay. You remember my bitching about her, I assume? He was with Shift Leader 3 and was helping. When the cops came, he jumped in her mustang and took off.

 

HE STOLE HER CAR AND DROVE OFF! Not only did he lead the cops on a high speed chase and lose them, this idiot was found a few hours later AT THE RACE TRACK! While they were sitting in jail, it comes to light that Roofer Dude is a child molester. I don’t know what he did exactly, I only found this out today, but he was molesting Shift Leader 3’s youngest daughter.

 

They posted bail thanks to Sha-nay-nay who pawned something to get the money to get the two of them out, and the first thing these two did was decide to go steal the mustang which was in Shift Leader 3’s husband’s name. He propped it up on cinderblocks, took a tire AND the car battery, since she still had a set of keys. Now it seems that she’s avoiding the cops and trying to get to Texas.

 

So we’re down a shift leader at work, and if things go the way I think they’re going to go, possibly two shift leaders will be gone.

 

It’s been an interesting week.

Um...

I'm not quite sure what to say here. You work with some, ah, "interesting" people. And I use the word the same way it was used when in ancient China, a common curse on people was "may you live in interesting times."

Sending you positive thoughts and hoping you survive the craziness and emerge unscathed on the other side.

[Book Baby]

I was going to say almost the same exact thing as Last Archimedean! I can't believe we were on the same wavelength like this!

[Skittles]

Look on the bright side you might be able to swing a promotion to shift leader out of this.

[Fortune Cookie]

the dude will get thrown into jail if the daughter talks (though it is not likely if the mom still dates him) AND if shanaynay is found to have helped them get to texas or wherever, she'll be charged as well. also, if they don't return in time for their court dates, shanaynay is out a shitload of money she probably cannot afford. in germany we have a word for this: schadenfreude (pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others).

[Riferous]

I bet the armed part won't stick. They throw as many charges at them as they can at first so they have something to negotiate with. Anyway, you won't be seeing her for a while. Is this the same one that was giving you so much shit?

[Sales Agent Guy]

Oh man, I feel so bad for you Terah. Hope things get better.

[NC Tony]

Fucked up doesn't even begin to describe this situation. I don't think a word exists to describe this situation. Although it sounds like Shift Leader 3, Roofer Dude and Sha-nay-nay deserve each other. From the sound of things, I expect to see them on "World's Dumbest Criminals" or hear about them on "What The Fuck Is Wrong With You?"

[Silver]

I had to check it wasn't april fools day.

[KittyKatzchen]

Holy fucking shit!

[The Last Archimedean]

You'll need to invent such a word then, NCT!

Even if Shift Leader 3 dodges the cops and makes it to Texas, what's she going to do? Spend the rest of her life as a fugitive? It would undoubtedly be easier to just turn herself in.

This is why I don't commit crimes. Your life gets absurdly complicated right quick when you do.

[CashierBtch]

If she tries to get a job anywhere else, she'd have outstanding warrants and the only way to make money would be under the table or be a prostitute. Or steal someones identity

I'm thinking there has to be more to the story that you haven't heard yet. "Robbery" is, by definition, taking something from another person (shoplifting is "theft"). And it's only "armed robbery" if the weapon was used in the commission of the offense. I've never heard that simply having a weapon basically concealed on your person (which would be the effect of having it in her purse), and the victim being unaware of it being enough for an armed robbery charge. If you hear more of this story, please share!

[Su Chan]

Egregious details aside, I'm with Nobody.

If she didn't actually use the knife 'as a weapon' then her defence will have the charge thrown out straight away and walk away a scott-free. That's why police will often go for a lesser charge. It might not be fair to the victim, but it has a better chance of sticking in court. Something's better than nothing.

Third Shift Leader doesn't even have custody of the daughter who was molested. For a couple of months, she had nothing to do with her children and once she started hanging out with Roofer Dude, she took an interest in the girls again. Which makes me sick to think of now.

I don't know how it'll go in court, but she's back on the schedule for next week, so we'll see. If she gets convicted, she's fired.

[The Last Archimedean]

OK, whoever actually has custody of the girls needs to get a no-contact order banning 3rd-shift leader from seeing them. If those were my kids she wouldn't have to worry about a court date, becazuse she'd be six feet under as soon as I caught up with her.

[CharlieWhiskyMike]

Does Roofer Dude habe "special qualities in bed" or did he feed 3rd-shift-leaders addiction to whatever. He left her in the shit after she was caught shoplifting and she give him her daughter as a victim and ruined her own life.

Roofer dude and 3rd-shift-leader should be both neutered.

[NC Tony]

Actually, thanks to the late George Carlin, I have the perfect punishment for Roofer Dude. He should be dipped in brown gravy and thrown into a small locked room with a rabid wolverine that's high on meth!

[Aunty]

In the movie Immortals, a man had a sledgehammer used on his genitalia for cowardice. (Or something; I turned the movie on just as that scene started.) Maybe we should bring that back as a punishment for child molesters.

[The Last Archimedean]

Aunty: For male child molesters, I would recommend slicing off their d!ck with a rusty knife and stuffing up their @$$ while they slowly bleed to death.

[CheltenhamDude]

Aunty, the bit you're referring to in Immortals was something the main villian did to all his soldiers (something about wanting all the children in the lands he conquered to look like him) - mind you the character it was done to did betray his people to the main villian.

Personally for Child Molesters, I'd ideally set the punishment for it as castration.
