little_girl_lost Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 A couple weeks ago i get a call from my employee saying there had been a fire and the police and firefighters wanted to check the security tape for what happened. I check the tape and see a crackhead rummage through the ashtray bin for a viable cig he can smoke (I get a few people that do this often), the guy lights the cig butt, removes his shirt stuffs the end of the shirt into our propane cage and ignite the shirt with the cigarette and take off like a bat out of hell. The propane cage was full of empty tanks (we were awaiting a delivery), but the crackhead didn't know that. The shirt smoldered for a minute before catching real fire and engulfing the front of the propane cage. My employee did not notice because at night we lock our doors and serve through our window. and you can't really see the cage from the window unless you hang out the window, and we're not really busy around that time. A customer finally noticed and rang our service bell and banged on the window. My employee came to the rescue with a fire extinguisher and called 911. Also, did i mention there are gas pumps 20 feet away from the propane cage? 1 Quote
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Wow. Glad everything turned out alright. Pretty bizarre to think what motivation a homeless crackhead would have for attempting to blow up a convenience store. Quote
discolé monade Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 oh wow! a 'customer' that thinks they were wronged? crackhead being crackhead? chaos for the sake of chaos? glad you and your employee are alright. Quote
nameraka Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 I was nowhere near the area and you can't prove that I was. Quote
MasqueradeOverture Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Was there a PA outside the store blasting Angelo Badalamenti? That shit attracts crackheads. 1 Quote
NewBluntsworth Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 I know that dude, he's actually not that bad. I'm so sorry he did this to your workplace. 1 Quote
