You threw your employees under the bus for the safety of Pizza Hut's cash register? That's what it sounds like...thanks a bunch! Glad you're not my boss...

its hard too say what is going in your mind under this kind of pressure.When you hear only the pounding of your own heartbeat and nothing else.Believe me ,I know Ive had a 45cal. shoved in my face before and your life in some fool`s hands.All you think is how too survive this.Everybody handles this differently.Some can be trained for yearsthen freeze like ice when it happens.I GIVE her credit for doing something as her actions eventually resulting in the thugs leaving.who knows what wouldve happen otherwize.Bottom line nobody got shot, hurt.theives didnt get adime .Inlaw enforcement,we call that a good day.I say give her a medal.even if it is policy too secure the office. The result was still the same.

I think I would have chose my employees before the store. Why are all employees out at same time taking a smoke break??? Maybe better safety procedures will be put in place after this. Thank god no one was hurt.

This is like a bad 80s movie:

Big greed wants the land the small business owner has for a gigantic development.
Big greed sends people in to help "persuade" the small business owner to sell.
Big greed's minions fail.

Next, we need Jean Claude Van Damme or the ghost of Patrick Swayze to come in and save the day by fighting big greed and exposing their corruption.

Then, it will all end with a freeze-frame of everyone high-fiving over an upbeat soundtrack, probably by Kenny Loggins.

They might have all been murdered inside, a not rare occurrence. I support the manager in this instance simply because the results demonstrate it was a correct action.

Really, I was a pizza chain manager for 10yrs. For the two big chains. The entire crew outside the store smoking at 11:30pm???? Violation of every security and conduct policy I have ever seen. The manager and staff put themselves at risk by not following policy. With regard to the robbery attempt being in the Falls, tis the season, pizza stores are always at risk this time of the year. Especially when the store is located on a street that leads directly into Akron from 2 different directions. Conspiracy to scare away land owner???? Get real! More like bad people robbing a little further up the street from normal. Hey Earl, who killed JFK???

sad this city was not like this 5 to 10 years ago robbery's are up and so are home break ins that should be the real topic here

Sounds like Scott is assuming the black robbers are from Akron..AMHA housing is right around the corner from the Pizza Hut in question. Jim

Hi James, you are correct. Also one on Portage Trail Ext. as well as one in North Hill near Howard st. This does not mean that the robbers are or are not from one of these areas though. We won't know unless they are caught. I wouldn't assume they are from AMHA.
