Two weeks ago, I started laboring at a cannabis dispensary downtown.
I was hired to work as the security officer at the front door.
I have worked as a security officer in many weird places. I have constantly been allowed to carry a pistol. The cannabis dispensary downtown did not want me to carry a pistol. I was allowed to have a stun gun & pepper spray. The owner of the dispensary didn’t want anyone getting hurt & insisted that there was no reason for the security team to carry a weapon. A few mornings ago, an armed man ran into the dispensary. The guy ran right past me & then he started waving a gun at all of the employees’ faces. I didn’t want anyone to get hurt that day, so I tried to remain as calm as possible. I told everyone to get down on the ground & I told the burglar that he was welcome to take anything that he wanted. The people I was with and I didn’t want any complications & the people I was with and I weren’t going to stop him from taking what he wanted. The guy looked surprised that no a single was going to stop him. Then he started filling a bag with items from behind the counter. He filled the whole bag with Edibles & vape pen cartridges. He didn’t even go into the register for money. It’s as if he knew exactly what he wanted. The people I was with and I didn’t stop the guy & the police showed up a few sixths after the guy ran out the door. I hope he will not get away, despite the fact that I recognize the police are still asking questions & canvassing the city.
