An Arby's employee named Maria Archer is grateful to have escaped last Friday, when a man attempted to rob the restaurant where she worked. Archer, who was an assistant manager, said she was doing the closing duties at around 1 a.m. when she heard the doorbell ring. She assumed it was her co-worker who had just left and went to answer the door. To her surprise, it was a man with a knife, who tried to push her into a corner. Archer's instincts kicked in, and somehow she was able to push the man away and give herself enough time to escape through the drive-through window. She recalled thinking, "I'm not going to die at Arby's tonight. I'm just not."

Here's where things get interesting. When Archer returned to work, she was fired. Archer told a local TV station, "I just never thought this would happen to me. Especially since my life was at stake." Arby's defended its decision, saying that violations of its safety and security policy mean termination of employment without exception. Archer broke policy because she was alone in the fast-food business when it was robbed.

So as you can tell the law does not always work in your favor. She was fired because she broke a store policy of having to have 2 customers working late nights. This has been the 3rd time the store has been robbed in the last 6 months and still no cameras installed, She had been working there 25 years, and they fire her over a petty thing like this
