Had a bit of an incident today. But it goes back a couple days.
On Sunday, a friend told me that one of the guys at the local service station wouldn't sell her smokes. She's legal, has photo ID to prove it, and he knows she's legal. Hell, they're in the same fucking grade (grade twelve) in the same damn school!
So, since he was working (alone) that day, Stef asked me if I'd buy her a pack of smokes. I said that no, I wouldn't, because it's stupid that she should have to get someone else to buy her smokes. I said I'd go with her and make Andrew sell them to her.
So we go over there, go in, and she asked for a pack. He wouldn't sell 'em to her. He said he'd sell 'em to me, but not to her. I told him that he frickin' knows she's legal, just sell her the smokes. He refused. She counted a bunch of change out onto the counter, and he just slid it right back at her. When she shoved it back to him, he slid out one coin and pushed it to me, saying that if I touched that single coin, he'd sell her the smokes.
Fuck, I wasn't going to drop to his level. I refused, and he insisted several times that I simply touch the one coin. I was starting to get fed up, especially since we were in a little bit of a rush, and finally told him to "sell her the fucking smokes!"
A couple more people came in right then, and I kept insisting. Finally he pulled out a pack of smokes, dropped the change off the counter into his hand, then looked at me and said, "You better hope I don't see you after work!"
I simply replied "You won't", and Stef and I left. I was kinda pissed off at him, but really thought nothing of the whole thing. Didn't see him again, until today, Wednesday.
Stef was going to get fuel, so I hopped in the car with her, as I had to pick up a phone card. Pulled up to the pumps, on the passenger side, my side, with the building on the same side. I hopped out, and hadn't even gotten to the back of the car, when Andrew walks up.
"Well look who's here," he said, just before he grabbed my sweater, shoved me up against the car and pinned me there.
Just a couple peices of info, here. I'm 22, he's 17. But, I'm about 5'5", 125 pounds, he's damn close to six feet, probably about 160 pounds. Skinny fucker, but still bigger than me. And then he's still a minor.
Anyways, he had me pinned for a few seconds, only, but long enough to make another threat. I can't remember fuck all of what he actually said, as he really surprised me, and I was thinkin' of whether I should sock him one or not. I decided against it, and don't think I even said anything before he let go of me. I can't remember what he said, but I do remember it was a threat. Don't ask me how I remember that it was a threat without remembering what he said, but I do. The tone of his voice, maybe. His facial expression.
After we left there, I got my own vehicle and was going past the shop where I work, when I realized that the evening shift would be on lunchbreak. I stopped in there and was ranting about what happened, and said I was going to talk to the bosses there in the morning. Then the one guy, coincidentally by the name of Andrew, said I should just go right to the cops.
So, I went and got my beer, came home, and called the cops. No answer. Left a message, but they haven't called back yet. An hour or so ago I drove down there, but no one was there. There's only three local cops, so I drove by their places...but couldn't figure out which one's supposed to be working tonight. Oh well, I'll call them in the morning, and then go over there right after work. I want to see that fucker fired. He can try to find somewhere else to work. haha There is nothing else here.
Funny thing is, IF he would have done that elsewhere, then I most likely wouldn't have done anything. Most likely couldn't have done anything. But, seeing as he lost his cool and literally (although mildly) assaulted me at his place of work, while he was working, I will do what I can to get him fired, and possibly charged. Another thing I just remembered, also, is that there is a security camera pointed right at the pumps, so most likely it caught at least a glimpse of what happened, albeit from a bad angle.
Anyways, I guess this got long, but I just had to let it out. I'll update later, after I talk to the cops.
EDIT
Talked to a cop today, finally, and basically all he said was that he would talk to Andrew, let him know that I had talked to the cops, and tell him to just lay off. I said that was fine, seeing as I'm settled down (somewhat) now, and said that I would ignore him as much as possible. Honestly, I don't care whether he just leaves me alone, and that's that, or if I end up having to press charges.
I told the cop, though, that if I did happen to cross paths with Andrew, and he started something again, I would be calling them up again. He said that if that did happen, I would have reason to actually press charges.
So that's that, right now. I'll ignore Andrew, and hopefully he leaves me alone. I was just surprised that he was still mad from three days previous. I didn't even really do anything! Thing is, it's not like it was a legal issue with the cigarettes, as he would sell them to me, and he knew I would simply hand them right to Stef. It was just a personal thing between him and Stef, as far as I can tell.
On that matter, we'll see if he still won't sell her smokes. If he doesn't, I'll tell Stef to go talk to the manager, and let him know about it. Then Andrew would be in shit.
Anyways, hopefully nothing more will happen.
