Lets See. In October of 2006 I was taking a delivery for Domino’s Pizza in Charlotte, NC at about 11:30pm – 12:00am I pulled into the complex and parked my car and got out. I saw a guy walking down the sidewalk, I said hi and he said hi back, I figured he was headed to his car no biggie so i went up to the 3d floor and made my delivery. I came back downstairs and he was walking back towards me… me being a dumb ass thought he had left something in his apt (it was possible) I said Hi again and he said hi back then something happened.
I crossed in front of him to get to my car, then he said hey walk that way. I was like hey this is my car and he then pulled out the 9mm and f’ing cocked it….I heard the round go into the chamber that is how slow everything slowed down or sped up….
This guy then tells me to walk that way again and I am freaking out on the inside..this f’er has a loaded gun on me and I just about loose it by the time I get to the end of the building. I am hyperventilating and I can feel my knees getting wobbly.
He then tells me to cross this bridge which leads to bldg 12006. Then he instructs me into the little patch of dirt next to the bottom two apartments and tells me to put the pizza bag down on the ground… then instructs me to take everything out of my pocket and place it on top of the pizza bag. I am then told to lay face down spread eagle. My heart is racing and pissed at the same time but doing what he asks begging to myself for him not to shoot me. He takes the money and says if I move he’ll shoot me and if he comes back in five minutes and I am not there he will find me and shoot me. So he takes the money an the freaking pizza……
Ok my heart is pounding in my chest thinking that this guy is behind me the whole time with a gun pointed at me and as I am walking wobbly kneed, I keep looking back at him and he has the gun on me saying don’t look back at me I’ll shoot you…. Ok after I lay on the ground for about 5 minutes I got up and knocked on the 1st 2 apts I came to… no answer I keep low and quiet. I check the area for any signs of the gunman who took the pizza and cash. No sign of him so I go back towards my car thinking about what he said if I come back and you are gone I will find you and shoot you…. so did I go back to my car? Hell no I went to the safest place I knew. The apartment I had just delivered a pizza to. 11012 J.
I knocked on the door of the apt of the last delivery… wondering to myself ok how do I ask them to use their phone to call the store because I just got robbed…. yes I said store not the police..lol What the Hell was I thinking. One of the people opens the door and I say hey can I use your phone to call the store… I just got robbed pretty much just like that. and they said are you ok and come on in. They handed me the phone offered me something to eat, drink Liquor and something to smoke not a cigarette… I said well if I am calling the store then the police then maybe not.. So I called the store and talked to Emily the GM. She is the sweetest person.. but cross her or someone she knows and she’ll go balistic….
I call Emily back and she says the cops are downstairs lookng for me around my car….2005 Mustang…. I told her I was in the apt and to let them know I was coming down. the cops asked me the standard question are you ok, can you give us a description… I said I am fine he was a young black male between 18-25 with a grey hoodie and dreads probably about 5’6’ 150 it didnt matter if I out weighed him by 40 lbs he had a gun and I followed Domino’s training and my gut to agree and do everything he says…. He has a loaded gun. So the cops ask me if I want them to follow me back to the store which was about .25 miles away! I said sure… the cops that were on the scene are cops that regularily came into Domino’s late night and told us that other pizza guys got robbed and for us to be safe, now I am one of their stories. To date i do not think they have caught the individual…making a delivery at night sometimes I ask myself is this going to be the 3d time…
I go back to the store and Emily comes out to the parking lot and gives me one of those I am sorry and I care Hugs. She is a doll. I go back to the back of the store and say i am not taking anymore runs tonight if that is ok. My brother comes in and he starts his shift I tell him you don’t want to work tonight… not telling him I had just been robbed and come off as being pissed off at him for coming to work… So Clay the Asst manager kind of tells him…. and O am like yeah it happened and tell him what happened again…. I get so pissed off thinking about it today and that was almost 3 yrs ago. I went back to work the next day not even thinking about it saying I needed to pay bills and all…. the real fun starts on the next day… the day after!!
