I felt much safer when I carried cash. The bad guys dont believe a sign, and dont know we dont have cash. I coulda given them 4k or so back then, now I might have a few bucks. They are less likely to hurt you if you leave them happy. It is a disturbing trend, and if you live in happy little suburbia, you are at risk. Watch your surroundings. If you dont feel safe, take it back to the center. Give them your truck, your wallet, whatever they want. I would even give them directions and my uniform so they could get away. Ill try and teach them the 10 pt commentary and all good kids like milk if they will listen. But be safe, and as we come upon peak with darkness at 5pm, and the economy the way it is, I think and hope Im wrong, it will get worse.
Im glad the driver is fine physically, I wonder how he is mentally, we as a company sometimes forget to ask that question.
