The incident began Saturday with an argument over masks between a customer and a student working at the gas station’s convenience store, prosecutors said. The customer, who wanted to buy beer, left and returned about an hour and a half later wearing a mask pulled under the chin. The gas station worker again referred him to the rules, prosecutors said.

“Then the perpetrator pulled a revolver and shot the cashier in the head from the front. The victim fell to the floor and was immediately dead,” prosecutor Kai Fuhrmann told reporters, the Reuters news agency reported.



A man suspected in the shooting in Idar-Oberstein, a town in western Germany, later turned himself in, claiming that coronavirus measures were causing him stress, Fuhrmann told reporters Monday. The man told police that he felt “cornered” by the measures, which he viewed as an “ever-growing infringement on his rights” — and saw “no other way out,” the prosecutor said, according to RTL.


I am sick of these entitled people who refuse to realize how not fun it must be to wear a mask all day and enforce Covid rules. Yet its these entitled customers that are making working in gas stations, hospitality and other retail jobs worry about physical abuse and death even more than before the pandemic.

I actually had a talk with my dad about this.  Yeah I was supposed to enforce the rules but he told me don't, come get him.  People are crazy and he didn't want me getting hurt or worse because some customer had a stick up their ass about masks.

Fortunately I never had that happen.  They either waited in the car or wore the mask for the at most two minutes it took to come in and get their pizza.

That story right there is a huge reason why people aren't going back into the service industry any time soon.  There are only a handful of jobs I can think of that are "worth" that kind of risk (police man, military) a minimum wage gas station job sure as hell isn't one of them.
