From what we can tell via the few articles written about it, someone 'forced' their way into the building at 1 a.m. (and by forced they presumably entered the restaurant through the employee entrance via the door code that has since been changed), made their way up to the office, held a 32-year-old manager (we have two of those, and only one was at work on a Friday) at gunpoint. Forced him to open the safe (keep in mind this is at the end of a sales day where all the cash turned in during the shift is in said safe), stole his cell phone and tied him up, then peaced.

Pretty terrifying. What's more terrifying however is the fact that upper management (corporate) is forcing the GM, and in turn, the other managers to keep quiet about it. Like, they literally can't even confirm that a robbery happened, and when a news crew showed up to question the GM, he just says that nothing is wrong. But, ya know. Police reports.

It's just kinda sad that corporate is in cover their ass mode this much that they won't even disclose the situation to their employees, many of whom won't even get out until 1 a.m. on a Saturday night. However, also fairly sure that this in particular was an isolated incident, and the staff has more or less pieced it together and only one person has quit in the past couple of weeks and has enough hostility and anger toward the restaurant (and management, with that manager in particular) to justify it. 😐
