Robin's Ruminations

Late Thursday afternoon, the 18th, one of my servers had a rather unnerving experience while serving out in a rural area between Bellingham and the Canadian border.  Here's the link to a newspaper article - http://www.bellinghamherald.com/onpatrol/story/1299672.html

Many of us have ad similar experiences.  I've had a few myself, some involving guns or other weapons.  It looks like my server, Mark, did an excellent job of extricating himself from the situation.  Overall serving is a low risk job but, when something does occur, it can be frightening.  

I gave Mark the day off yesterday, with pay.  He needed to settle his nerves.  I plan on having a meeting with my servers within the next week to debrief Mark and attempt to analyze what happened and how it happened.

Be safe out there.
