(Say the title in a Comic Book Guy voice for best effect. XD)
Starring the following: (not real names)
Collegue #1: Jim
Collegue #2: Lisa
Security Guard: Jeff
Me: Well, me. XD
This happened yesterday. We had this group of kids; youngest aged roughly around 12, oldest around 14; hanging out by the air pump. Not only were they mucking around with the air pump (taking the water hose and spraying each other with it, yanking on the air hose) but they were on their bikes going up and down the kerb doing tricks and riding all over the forecourt.
At least five customers had near misses with the little brats; including one guy who was really shaken after being forced to slam his brakes on to avoid one little sh*t who cycled right at him. Cuz there was just Jim and I in the petrol station, we could not go out there to tell the brats to eff off, so we called Jeff. He was dealing with a shoplifter, so couldn't come straight away. As soon as Lisa returned from her break, Jim went out and told the kids to clear off.
They left. Peace reigned... for about 20 minutes, then the brats were back with their kamikaze bicycle tricks. -.- This time, Lisa went out to get rid of them. They swore at her and were really rude. She was absolutely fuming, as were the customers who'd tangled with the brat pack. One customer said that the kids needed a good hiding; which was echoed by everyone else. The kids left after Lisa got rid of them... only to return 10 minutes later. FFS.
Enough was enough. Jim called thru to the store and asked them to send Jeff over right away, or if he was still tied up with the shoplifter, then to send a couple of guys over from checkouts to deal with the kids. Jeff was able to come over, so he did. He chucked the kids out of the place and told them that if they came back, then the police would be called. They didn't come back. Shame really, as watching the brat pack being hauled into police cars would have been amusing, at the very least. XD
