How to make me very angry
| Almost a year ago (May 11th) I posted about the Krystal on Watson Blvd in Warner Robins being robbed. At the time I wondered what was wrong with the world. It's not just Krystal getting robbed. I know there are lots of places getting robbed. We have a local Taco Bell that got robbed like 3 times in a 2 month span. In that case it is completely due to location (right beside the interstate, and nothing open nearby at night). But this incident hit home. MY Krystal got robbed this week. My Krystal may not be in the greatest location, but it's not a horribly crime riddled section of town. I do believe that Macon's recent decision to enact pan handling laws has pushed some less desirables out of the city and into the surrounding areas. There are now 3 or 4 "gentlemen" who stand at the off ramps of I-75 about 2 miles down the road with "Homeless, anything will help, God bless" signs. They are there every day, and if you arrive at the right time you can see them debate over who gets which corner. The day after the city ordinance was passed I got approached inside the Kroger grocery store around the corner from my house. A year or two ago there was a police station in that Kroger but the city moved that station to another location that was "a better deal." (Since that time it has become clear it was not a better deal, but that's my city for ya. Instant graft-ification.) If there's one thing in this world you don't do it is mess with my family. While the people at Krystal may not be blood related, they have opened their arms and heart to me and I have accepted them as a part of my life. That's a lot closer than some "families" can claim in these days (see also Jerry Springer, and Dr. Phil). The last robbery, in Warner Robins, I offered a sack full of Krystals to anyone who helps Warner Robins police catch the people responible. Well this time it is different. This one is MY family. This time I am upping the reward. I am offering a 24 pack, the famous Krystal Steamer pack. It only seems appropriate, since I am so extremely steamed over this whole event. There's something going horribly wrong with society today, folks. I don't know exactly what it is but we had better figure it out soon. When Krystal, the source of all that is warm, tasty, and delicious, becomes the target of scum and losers, it is a sure sign that the world is tearing itself apart.  |
