There are always two sides to every coin. The holidays for the most part bring out the best in people. Donations are up this time of year, people volunteer more now than any other time. As long as you don't get too caught up in the mall traffic and the Best Buy parking lot, thing can be pretty nice. Then there are those who feel desperate this time of year and go over the edge. We had one of those instances tonight. Five minutes before closing at one of our locations, a guy came in with a gun and robbed a store and scared a highschool girl half to death. She is fine and he "the robber" only got a couple hundred bucks but it makes me wonder if this is all worth it. The rush and gifts and all. Just too much damn stress. It has been three years since we were last robbed and no one got hurt so I guess there is always a silver lining but can't we all just get a grip and get along.....
