EVERYONE DOWN ON THE GROUND! NOW!!

Right... Famous words during a major robbery right?

Can you guess what this blog is about? Friday night I was in charge of hanging putting up Christmas decorations. I was towards the middle back of the store. now picture this, the store is crowded, the restaurant is busy, there is a long line at subway. I am back by the coolers humming along and tieing ribbons, counting down the seconds till mom and dad will be popping in. When all of a sudden there is a loud commotion and the words "everyone get down on the ground now!" came booming out of a mans voice. Instantly thinking out secret shopper from a couple weeks ago was back (the African American man that had threatened out lives, I call him our secret shopper) my heart was in my throat. I grab my cell phone out of my pocket and was ready to jump under a rack of clothes where I assumed he wouldn't know I was there. But when I looked up I noticed no one else was jumping to the ground. In fact no one seemed to be moving at all. Not to mention it was deadly silent. Finally I noticed about a dozen, if not more SWAT/police taking down a guy in the front of the store. I move up front to try and figure out what was going on, there was only one person behind the counter so I figured someone else should be back there to keep control on things. Once I moved up to the counter I noticed how many police there actually were! And every single one of them, except for the guy on top of the bad guy had their guns pulled.

As fast as they rushed in, they rushed back out. Confiscating our trash and emptying the coffee pots (to ensure he didn't throw any evidence anywhere) Everyone in the store was still left in a shock state. I know for me it took near ten Min's to stop shaking. It was said that it was a drug bust, evidently an undercover cop had just bought some drugs from this guy right down the road. And this is where they were able to capture him. Made for an interesting evening that once again I will NEVER forget.

PS: my Christmas decorations look amazing!
