Yup, an armed robber saved me two Euro ~ and more over time

Long story short, on the way home from the gym and I'm in the mood for an early night with my new book and a few glasses of whiskey so into the off license I go.

I order a naggin of Powers whiskey with a tenner in my hand;

"That'll be €11:99".. Sh*t I've to go routing for change now.. I look up and there's a new 'assistant' behind the counter (I thought he was cashing up early) and the first lad says "I'll serve you in a minute".

The new 'assistant' legs it out the door.

"Sorry mate, we've just been robbed I can't serve you now"

'Seriously, was that a robber?.. 'Yes, he had a knife too, but there's a super market up the road you'll make it before it closes.

So I go to the super market, and the Power Whiskey is only €9:99 ~ HAPPY FOOKING DAYS

I've kept the names out of the post, but if anyone is living beside the Hilton Hotel on the Malahide Road and wondering why the off license is a crime scene, well there ya go :pac:

Had to share, 'tis the little things eh :P

That's the mad bit too.. The real assistant asks myself and another customer to leave now because they've to lock up the shop, and off we went to the super market.

Its all a bit mad really. I'm guessing its a regular enough occurrence.

I rang Coolock Garda Station and left my details, so I guess I'll be giving some kind of statement ~ but not tonight, because I'm going to bed early with my €9:99 naggin

See how the degenerate bandit thief struck the offie till so close to the 10pm closing hour? Time to enforce 24 hour off licence opening hours so we can eradicate this dreadfull criminality from our streets

Way back when renting videos used to be a lucrative business I had a part time job in a local rental place (remember those!). We'd regularly be done. To the point where it was no big deal. The owner came up with a 'staff compensation' solution. We only kept coins in the till. Notes went into the back room. Which was behind the back room. No scummer wanting to get in and out quickly ever bothered going back there. Just up to the counter, out with the syringe and out the door. We'd regularly have 3-400 quid in the back room, and if we were robbed, the (suggested by the owner) solution was 1. Call the guards, 2. Pocket all the notes and keep them, 3. Lock up and take an early night after the guards had left. The cash was all recorded and insured. Win win all round! This was early to mid nineties, so the added bonus is that the scummers in question have either turned their lives around by this stage (fair play), or have died lonely disease ridden deaths (also a win...?).

We used to look forward to being robbed...

Damn, I couldn't bring myself to pocket the notes. That's just not right. I'd end up being guilt ridden for ages, and cursing myself for taking the money.

T'was the owner's idea.

That was mad, Mak.

When I was 18 I used to work pumping petrol on the northside (I was one of those guys that actually came out to you and pumped the petrol for you) a guy came in one night with jacket over what was supposed to look like a sawn off (but sure was most likely two broken sweeping brushes). He says: "Gimmie all the money in your till". I looked up from my book (Mailer's 'The Executioner's Song') and the convo then went pretty much exactly like this:

"Wha? Eh, there is no money, I just did a drop".
"What's a drop mean"
"Money is all rolled up and dropped into a security hole".
"Open the hole".
(I started laughing with nerves at this point)
"You can't, it's like a hole, like a long hole thing, downwards, for anti-theft purposes".
"So there's no money at all".
"Nah... sorry".

He then just gave me an 'Ah don't worry about it' kinda nod and ran off.

Was the only bother I have had.

OP, you're a bouncer and didn't even notice a guy with a weapon? :pac:


I work a few doors down from that place, never heard much about robberies tbh. Few junkies that come into the shops and throw the stock around and beg, but nothing much said abkut robberies.

Mad stuff. Your man must be used to it, to have stayed so calm! Staff in there are lovely, too.

Jayzus... I don't know how I'd cope in that situation. I work around the corner from there too.

Penny Tration

Guess I was left out of the loop in not hearing of it happening there much! Just spoke to a colleague when I arrived at work, apparently that place has been robbed several times :eek: no wonder they're looking for staff at the moment!

What I don't understand is why he didn't apprehend the robber and overpower him with his gym gainz until the fuzz got there.
