9:07 PM: Police are searching for a group of robbers who are reported to have taken the cash drawer from the 35th/Barton 7-Eleven store a little over half an hour ago. They are described on police radio as “unknown-race males, teens-twenties, black puffy jackets, hats, masks,” with a gun implied but not seen, getting away southbound on 35th. A K-9 team is joining the search.
9:13 PM: The trail is reported to have ended on 34th, where police suspect a getaway car was parked.
Is anyone else seriously fed up with this yet? How long must we wait before these violent crooks take a life? SPD, come on, what the hell? At least communications from SPD telling West Seattle what they are doing about the now regular and routine 7 11 robberies and maybe preventing them?
I was just getting ready to say the same. 35/Avalon 7-11 seems to be another favorite among the low-life thieves.
Or just change it to work like a giant vending machine. Order on a screen, pay, and a few minutes later the cashier sends it out on a conveyer belt.
Are you sure that you are not confusing 35th and Barton with 35th and Avalon?
Not accepting cash is not a solution. I always want the option to pay in cash rather than debit/credit card, especially at our small businesses. Banks charge them for our use of debit/credit cards. (Many 7-11s are franchises so they fall under ‘small business)
Why do they always go after 7/11? Almost every week now, but why those specific gas stations?
Did we make it past a week before this one? I’m losing count
I wonder why no security guards are at any of the 7-11’s. So sorry for employee’s and owners of these franchises.
Sorry, comment time is over.
