This morning a man with a gun in his belt came to my store while I was cleaning the parking lot. His girlfriend is one of my employees. He grabbed at his gun and said if I ever disrespected his wife or kids again I was dead and that he doesn't play.
Told the police, they said they would keep an eye out for the guy which means absolutely nothing. My general manager said that this is the kind of stuff we have to be ready to deal with in our job but I have never had an armed person threaten my life in the four years I have worked for our company.
Now I am worried about losing my life over a convenience store job but I am dependent on my benefits so I can not just quit until I find another job.
Is there anything other action I can take? Having the police looking around isn't going to be any help if this guy comes back and shoots me.
Thank you for your time.
