RE: Spooky Sourdoughs!

in #sourdough • 7 days ago

Oh wow, that's amazing! I know Canadians are supposed to be "nice" but this is on a whole new level.

The shoplifting in Boston is out of control. I've had my life threatened on several occasions confronting unruly and dangerous customers.

We had an elderly man come in and ask for a free cigarette. We don't have single cigarettes available, but the boss gave him -- for free! -- a cigar. The man stormed out and smashed the picture window. $2000 of damage! "What did you do that for," we asked. He yelled back, "I don't like cigars!"

We've been advised, by police officers, that it's time to get concealed carry permits and go armed. I think it's time for a new job! (Although my boss says the 60s and 70s were much worse.)

        Wow, that's terrible and shocking, what an ungrateful wretch!

        I find it hard to imagine the 60s and 70s being worse lol, did he give examples?

              Well, there was a bus station across the street back then, and the playboy club (the whole Boston "Combat Zone" was in full swing), and break-ins and regular fights. You could tackle a shoplifter in those days and the police would support you. We did keep a .45 in the drawer then too.

              Oh, and there was a gang-related firebombing of the flower shop next door, which caused the sprinkler system to come on and flood our entire store. It led to a complete insurance write-off of our inventory.

              That flower shop location is now a Starbucks, so things have gentrified a little...
