Longtemps Sans écrire

I'm starting to suck at this whole blogging thing. I almost feel like i'm letting myself down for not doing it! So i'm going to try and do it more. Anyway,, hmm.. What have I been up to lately? It's hard to write when I dont do it that much,, to hard to recap and think of all the things i've done since haha.
I dont think I ever said anything about how I started zumba classes. But that would make 2 things off my new years resolution (: I'm even hitting two birds with one stone, i've been going to zumba with my mom! We went last Thursday and it was my first time. I felt like I was handicapped to dance,, which sucked,, cuz i've been dancing all my life! Anyway, it was so much fun that my mom and I decided to take the Beginners class on Monday so we can learn better.
I brought Ariel with me and we met up with mom. It was a pretty fun class, I felt more worked in the beginning class than I did the first class I took. After that there was another zumba class that we decided to stay for. Two hours of zumba! Haha,, not that i'll ever go back to that six o clock one again though,, that teacher was a fruit and nut bar and I wanted to punch her in the face.. She was hard to follow because she didnt go with the beat, and she was weird.. She did this annoying screechy yell,, I think it was to motivate us to dance more,, but a lot of people just left the class. And she'd randomly go HUHUHYEAAh.. The huhuh was her laughing.. and she'd say okay now we do this, not this 'sad face' (<-- she actually said sadface..) .. but this. ARGH. it was soo annoying. After the class,, my mom,, Ariel,, and I were all complaining about how hard that class was just because of the teacher. Kind of sad actually.. :/
Anyway we went back Tuesday after I got off work, my mom bought zumba fit for the wii, and then we went again tonight after I got off. I was sad it was over and now I cant wait til Monday to go back. Unfortunately Pilates is a class that I really want to attend to so that I can get my abs back. The unfortunate part is that it's monday nights at 8 and my zumba class ends at six. So I'd be in Bountiful with nothing to do til eight. Haha, so I'm at a loss cuz I want to go to both.
The point is,, I'm proud of myself for going to the gym more! The zumba class really works all of you, I feel like it works my butt off too (: Literally though, you shake your butt a lot. I feel bad for my followers.. Sorry if you just read all of this because i'm sure you could care less about me going to zumba. But lucky for you, it will be worth reading in a sec cuz I have a good story!
So I dont know if I ever mentioned anything about the continuous fraud checks that were being written to Robintino's. But apparently someone had been writing fraud checks and they used them to order take out. Dummy's came in Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Monday, and then Wednesday. Tuesday I think was the day that Robintino's found out about it since the banks had been closed for the long weekend. We were told to look out for the checks that said Patricia Brown. When people write checks we aren't allowed to give money back unless its for a tip, and even then we're supposed to ask and it can't be a lot of money. Definitely not above ten dollars, 'we're not an ATM' as my supervisor put it. So I guess what the low lifes would do is order a big take out,, usually about 70 dollars worth of food. Then they would write the check out to around 100 dollars or more so that they could get 30 or 40 bucks back. ((I guess in total from Thursday- Monday they had robbed 650 dollars from the restaurant)) . They got lucky too because apparently 3/4 times they did it, they had the same cashier. The first time they came in and did it, the cashier asked the supervisor if it was okay to give that much money,, and the supervisor said yes without knowing that in fact it was not okay. So since she thought it was okay, she gave them the money the other 2 times she had to deal with them. The other time was by a different cashier who just thought it was okay. That is luck, bad luck though,, not the kind you are supposed to get. The kind karma gives you just to knock you down hard in the end. So apparently they got caught Wednesday ( like really??.. they skip the day im supposed to work and go to the one after?). I only heard 2 stories and one was a point of view story and the other was one another worker heard from someone else, so this will be kinda pieced together with parts im not exactly sure on.

So I guess they placed their order over the phone and Rob ( manager ) had a feeling it was them because the order was big and also because it was similar to the orders that they had placed before. When they came to pick it up, both the managers and the owner of the restaurant were there. Ryan and I believe Bob ( manager and owner ) got their trucks and blocked the entrance so they couldn't get away. Apparently 2 mexican guys were the ones picking up the order and a girl came in and in front of everyone said 'we need to leave, look at what they are doing outside'. HA,, what a dumb head,, don't say that so people can hear.. durr.. Anyway so I guess they bolted out of the restaurant and headed to their car and Rob got out and chased them. (( here is the part I heard Rob saying and this is a little more pieced together by me because I didnt hear all of what he said )) So Rob got out and was chasing them and they ran into their car and Rob put his upper body inside the car or something so they were dragging Rob. From what I understand,, Rob's wife, mom, and kids were just oustide (his parents own the place so its understandable that they were there). I guess the car was driving kinda crazy and Rob was trying to grab the steering wheel and trying to get them to stop. When I heard him telling the story he said something like ' I don't understand how they didnt hit Ryan's truck' and he also said something about how if something ( idk what ) wasn't there the car could have hit Rob's family. I'm guessing Rob's family had to see the whole thing and that would be so hard seeing your husband/dad/son trying to get those people and being dragged in their car. Even harder for Rob to think that could have almost hit his family. He said he couldnt sleep because of all the adrenaline and he kept playing out different possible scenarios from the incident. I'm sure we all know what that is like, thinking about what COULD have happened and those thoughtsjust don't leave your head. Poor guy :(
When I got home from work I looked it up on the inmate roster and found a mexican who did a fraud check, pretty sure it was him too because his middle name was 'Manuel' and that was one of the names used on the takeouts. I guess they some how escaped Robintino's parking lot and got pulled over down the street. That was the karma part knocking them down. His inmate thing said he was on hold but that his bail was only 750. I think thats what it said? Should be more, should have to pay back Robintino's. Hm.
