Man asks to fill water bottle, shopkeeper threatens to shoot him
August 3rd, 2010 | Author: R. Steven Rogers
In a day filled with unexpected situations, here is yet another example of “you just can’t see it coming”.
A man goes into a gas station so his girlfriend’s son can use the restroom, and asks the clerk if there is a faucet he can use to fill his water bottle. Hilarity does not ensue. When told it was for customers only, his girlfriend offers to make a purchase. The response? The man says that he is not a slave, and threatened to shoot them “in the head” while digging under the counter.
You can NEVER tell what will set people off. Training can help you know what to do when things like this happen, but can never remove the risks. A good trainer will help you avoid danger when possible, escape it when it presents itself if reasonable, and all else failing, deal with it directly.
