Sounds like the family I know. They stand up for theirselves and take responsibilty. They don't lay around in bed and wait for others to do their work. Good going Gahms!!!
Wow no one important if that had been your Dad or brother with a gun held to their head I would hope your view on the situation would be diff. You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinkin something like that, let alone posting it for the world to read. You should really re-eval yourself.
to no one "impotant". First, learn to spell. Second, every pharmacy in this area carries the same pain medicine that this moron career armed robber stole from me. Third, i guess if you have more than 3 employees at work you dont get robbed. You are stupid. As for hiding pain medicines, again you are an idiot. We have the whole thing on video, and all of the medicines were recovered. Would be nice if you were brave enough to use your real name. Only cowards say things behind people's backs. I guess you are probably one of the druggies who i've had arrested or thrown out of my store.
