I used to work at the Ossy branch (this was years ago now though) and I was on my own when the shop got robbed, 3 men walked in and just started picking up cases of beer and bottles of wine and started walking out. I pressed the panic button then, stupidly went round the front and tried to stop them, I got a smack in the face for my troubles! I was ok just shaken up. Anyway, they were caught about 3 hours later.

What was bad about this was it was about 2pm in the afternoon, and they didnt have anything covering their faces.

Anybody tries to rob them shops for money is going to be disappointed because of the safe system that they have.

I agree MissTechnophobe it was very scary working on your own at night, even on a busy stretch of road.
