Current Music: Cheap Trick – Mighty Wings

People are stupid, they don’t THINK!!! I was at the Albert Heijn and just as I was walking in, a tall mid-20s guy with chin-length blond hair and a beige wool coat came barreling out. Right past me. Nobody yelled or said anything, and people often run through the station if they’re trying to catch a train or something – but then when he was about halfway down the corridor, I saw him give a glance over his shoulder, to see if anyone was chasing him, and then I realized something was wrong. Sure enough, the cashier he’d run from grabbed the phone and a few managers came flying out, and we all realized he’d just robbed the store. The two girls in front of me started babbling excitedly, “Ik dacht van een grapje!” en “Nooit gezien!” and stuff, but I was just plain mad. Why don’t people REACT? If that cashier had yelled for someone to stop him and I had realized something was wrong, I could have grabbed him – I was in perfect position – or at the very least I could have yelled down the corridor for someone else to stop him, that he was a thief. But they all just stood there and watched. Stupid! Anyway, I don’t know what he stole, but it must have been small because I couldn’t see him carrying anything when he was running away. Maybe he reached over the counter and grabbed money, or maybe it was cigarettes or something… I just can’t think of any reason to steal from the supermarket, of all places. Like I just told T, if you’re going to steal something, make it worthwhile… LOL.

Going to eat now.
