Tales from the Convenience Store 5
Two More Two tales this time really, rolled into one:This weekend's excitement came at 10 till 4 this morning when I'd just finished selling one of my morning regulars his newspaper. While he was in the store, a black Nissan Titan rolled up and parked at an odd angle in the lot, right near where this customer was parked.
The customer exited the store and was in the process of returning to his vehicle when the new arrival beckoned him over and spoke to him. A few seconds later the customer again came inside and asked me to phone the police for an ambulance. At this point I noticed the driver of the nissan attempting quite unsuccessfully to exit his vehicle. He looked as if he'd been beaten within an inch of his natural life.
Suffice it to say that, at 4am, when the boss arrived, the presence of 5 police cars and one ambulance had her somewhat shaken.
The rest of the story: Joe Victim had been out hustling pool. He had several thousand dollar's worth of custom pool cues in his truck, and a huge wad of cash. He'd obviously been winning this evening. Now Joe Victim wasn't a small man, quite huge in fact, but the three guys he'd beaten at pool decided they were sore losers and decided to try their luck against the big guy. He got the best of 2 of them, but the third got him in the back, where he'd had back surgery...
Joe Victim had lost motor control of the left side of his body and couldn't feel his legs when he arrived at our store. He was taken via ambulance to the hospital and treated.
