What's wrong with people nowadays? Instead of getting jobs and supporting their families, they have to run around stealing and scaring the entire community! Yes, I know the economy is bad and jobs are hard to come by, but don't tell me that people can't at least get a part time job at McDonalds? Heck, places are hiring more people because of the shopping season right now. Really, what people want to do is live on welfare, and spend that money on drugs and when they run out they steal to get their drugs. What a sad life they have. I'd hate to live with myself knowing the economy is bad enough and there ARE people out there scraping and living without to take care of their children, bills, and to even keep their houses from being repossessed! It makes me sick!
It'll be no time before these kids are turned in. The people of Mason County seem to thrive on this kind of activity and the minute something is said, you better believe somebody will jump on the opportunity to tell everyone they know. That's why that little area is called Gab Town, everybody knows everybody and everybody talks about everybody. That's life in these small towns. It'll come out.
I worked at a gas station, and it comes through your mind everytime someone walks through that door. You keep your guard up, and never feel at ease. Gas station clerks do need to be paid more, and needs to be more protected. A robbery is a lifetime scar on the clerks. Employers needs to do more, and help these clerks out.
