I am a grocery shop proprietor. Offering a good variety of familiar-named household products, my establishment is positioned in the central market area of a fairly safe locale. It has been 15 years since I started this operation.
I make sure that my minimart stands out by selling only well-performing goods from established manufacturers. In fact, I am just as fussy when I am the one doing the buying.
I always knew that being the owner of a high-end grocery store can put me in harm's way. That is why I shop for self defense products. I opt to buy pepper spray because it is consistently effective.
I lately wanted to buy pepper spray I spotted on the internet amongst self defense products. It was low-priced yet appeared to have strong features. I have so far tried a pepper gel, lipstick pepper spray and stunning ring.
It was the end of my store hours and I was invoicing the items bought by the remaining shoppers. A suspicious-looking person went in but I made no reaction, convinced that anyone should be welcome to enter a minimart.
After the final buyers stepped out, the ruffian approached the counter and pointed a pistol at me, ordering me to hand over all the cash in the drawer. Hesitantly, I did as I was told.
While he was preoccupied with pocketing my money, I drew the pepper spray that I had just purchased. I had not remembered to move it from my work station after receiving it. I sure did not regret my decision to buy pepper spray around that time.
The thief fled hurriedly, wailing from hurting, after I dispersed the pepper spray onto his eyes. I went on to enjoin the area's shop operators to buy pepper spray in order to stay protected.
