Being robbed at gunpoint is usually a situation that generates a lot of panic and fear. But, this Jimmy John’s employee handled it like he was just dealing with another customer.

I’m not sure this is real. Whoever wrote the article called the register a registrar. Makes me wonder.
You watch too much TV
