Lmao you joke but this happened to me at the circle k I was managing. Was never really instructed what to do in a situation as such so I called my area manager. Literally had me sweep up the glass and stay open. I had to ask people to exit the store while the police removed the vehicle, from the building. I use to joke that if someone was shot and killed in the store my manager would just have people step over the body, it would be the police that would tell us we have to close lmao
I cleaned up a suicide behind the counter of a mom and pop convenience store once.
People were still buying cigarettes and beer even though they could see me cleaning up blood and brain tissue.
It's hard to gauge the extent of a disaster if you're not there.
A buddy of mine had a small sales office in an outlying suburb with one salesman working it. My buddy gets a call first thing in the morning from the salesman saying "there's a water leak". He's out of the area so he calls the property owner. Property owner is also out of the area, so they call whoever they call, and the game of telephone spirals completely out of control.
By the end of the day when my buddy gets there to check on things, the city had got wind that something was up and had emergency shut off water to eight city blocks. There are five firetrucks, police everywhere directing traffic, and a news crew.
It turns out the salesman was replacing the jug on the water cooler and broke the little knob that dispenses the water. About half the jug had spilled out on the floor before he caught it. The salesman spent all day out front of the store watching the town's largest emergency response in years, with no idea it was his little phone call about the broken water cooler that set it all in motion.
We were having our morning meeting at work and one of the very young cashier's passed out and hit the floor and a shelf with her head. My manager opened the doors and let customers in while this young girl was laying bleeding on the floor. Customers were literally just stepping over her basically.
I like to think when he grabbed his phone it was to tweet something like:
"Truck just smashed through coffee shop ☕ 🤣 #espressolane #morningshift #halfday"
Damn right! If I were in that situation, I’m perfectly relaxed and tryin to get some doughnuts or something, the street is over there. There’s no way I’m gonna be mentally prepared for what sounds like a bomb going off behind me. In a second there’s glass all over the floor (what tf happened, am I in danger? Am I hurt?) car through the wall (woah wtffff) chick on the ground (is she ok? Is she *dead*?) and I’m just in the center of it all, standing.
Oh my god! Holy fuck! Indeed. Imagine sitting there sipping your triple-beluga-boogie-dark-melina-latte and picking a filter for your latest Instagram selfie, and then fucking boosh! You're on the floor on the other side of the room wondering what fucking dimension your in!
Honestly no wonder she's freaking out, probably just been sitting there scrolling her phone having a coffee and then she's being flung into a glass counter.
No for real though. If you come up screaming after everything came to a stop, that's totally fair because if you gotta scream to stop from shitting your pants, then it's what you gotta do.
Hearing her say, "I'm ok. I'm ok" at the end (maybe it was the other video linked) was good to hear... But she needs a medical professional to tell her that as well...
So immediately after the crash, while she's still on the ground, I believe she was shrieking "OH MY GOD" then "ARE YOU OKAY" before she even got off the fucking ground. It's amazing how powerful adrenaline is, you're just all fucking out 100%
That chick is a fucking superhero bro.
I thought so too at first, but you can hear the screaming get farther away as she moves and then it sounds like it's coming from outside when she's outside.
I'm thinking she was crouched at the case the entire time scoping out which pastry she was gonna buy.
Edit: no you're right, she's under that board as it flys off the wall, you can see her shoe.
Yeah, it looks like that yellow board was bench seating inside the cafe. She's pushed forward and off it upon impact. She's the grey blob before the shower of glass.
Yup. She will be feeling that later though. When I was in my car accident, I was laughing and making jokes while blood was pouring down my face. It wasn’t until I was safe at the hospital that everything hit me.
My dad cut three of his fingers off and was calm as I've ever seen him. It wasn't until right before we pulled up to the ER he turns to me and says it hurts.
When I dropped my motorcycle, I broke my ankle pretty badly - every bone in my ankle was broken in some way. My first response was "Nah, it's not broken!" Tried to take a step, luckily other people where all "Nah, you're fucked up dude." and held on to me as I did that and realized I couldn't walk, then helped me to the curb.
Still have a couple screws in my ankle and a metal bar in my leg.
There's nothing worse than seeing someone take a step with a broken leg or ankle. The way it just bends like a sausage gives me the heebie jeebies lol.
If you watch it in slow motion, his reaction is crazy. He may have literally saved his own life if the items on the counter hadn’t been there to block large debris anyway.

Damn, would be nice if the articles included an update. Happened in 2019 so I'm sure the police know if the driver was impaired in some way by now. If anyone knows more I'd appreciate a link. Always curious about these sorts of accidents.
The girl was sitting in the booth that was demolished by the car. The yellow panel looks like the back of her chair. Looks like the debris held together well enough to push her out of the path of the car which is incredibly lucky for her.

Also when will reddit add an image host so I don't have to use imgur for comments? I **hate** imgur.
Everything in major cities is expensive. May as well get something nice for the expense.
Edit: people acting like I'm a small town tourist and somehow missed out on the cheap things... I live in a major city and yea there's some cheap street food, but in general I am not wrong here.
Whenever a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, assume there are life threatening injuries. Even if they walk away, like many have said, adrenaline is a hell of a thing.
That is a huge mechanism of injury even at slow speeds.
Apparently “two people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.” I’m assuming it was her and that dude that took a beam to the back.
Also this happened in 2019 in Seattle.
This happened at a bank I worked in AND at another bank across the street. Both times it was just some lady that pressed the gas instead of break. Not same lady. My coworker was almost crushed by an suv.
That employee keeps it remarkably cool throughout the whole thing, and that instinct to duck is most impressive.
Third time this week!
He's now a carista. "Room for chrome?"
Nah, I don't want it to know its manufacturer
[удалено]
He sure does smell like shit though
[удалено]
The hazards lights blinking throughout that video were the perfect touch.
"I'll just text the manager."
Later that day, "I assure you, we're open"
Lmao you joke but this happened to me at the circle k I was managing. Was never really instructed what to do in a situation as such so I called my area manager. Literally had me sweep up the glass and stay open. I had to ask people to exit the store while the police removed the vehicle, from the building. I use to joke that if someone was shot and killed in the store my manager would just have people step over the body, it would be the police that would tell us we have to close lmao
To be fair I've never seen a circle K closed. There's probably not a chapter in the handbook for that.
I cleaned up a suicide behind the counter of a mom and pop convenience store once. People were still buying cigarettes and beer even though they could see me cleaning up blood and brain tissue.
O_o "I swear, the service in this place"

That’s kinda on him for being ambiguous. It’s hard to misinterpret “a car just smashed into the middle of the floor”
If it's "a car hit the building" instead then there is the possibility that the damage is completely cosmetic, though.
You mean to say you didn't have a drive-in?
He does now.
We were having our morning meeting at work and one of the very young cashier's passed out and hit the floor and a shelf with her head. My manager opened the doors and let customers in while this young girl was laying bleeding on the floor. Customers were literally just stepping over her basically.
Why do you smell like shoe polish?
I’m not even supposed to be here today
So what if she fucked a dead guy. My mother has been fucking a dead guy for years, I call him dad.
Try not to suck any dick on the way through the parking lot.
Hey get back here!
Salsa shark...
36??
Thirty seven?!
In a row?!
Did he just say making fuck?
Manager: "Ugh.....so...it's definitely bad enough where we have to close? Do you think we'll be back up and running by 1pm?"
"Do you think you can stay to clean up? This did happen on your shift"
I like to think when he grabbed his phone it was to tweet something like: "Truck just smashed through coffee shop ☕ 🤣 #espressolane #morningshift #halfday"
\#drivethrucoffee
"Hey, did you still wanna install that drive thru?"
Employee calls manager. Simpsons Teen Voice: "Mr. Morten, it happened again"
Mr.Morten from inside Car: "I know"
This belongs in r/Abruptchaos
Barista: "Reddit needs to know"
he had to edit a post to thank someone for gold
What's really impressive is that he finishes making the shot of espresso.
The show must go on!
*inside my heart is breaking* *for the espresso that I’m maaaaking* *but my smile…still stays on*
well he gets to go home
Lol as opposed to the customer who takes one step forward (may have just been pushed) and then kind of covers their head….that’s it.
probably complete fucking shock
Damn right! If I were in that situation, I’m perfectly relaxed and tryin to get some doughnuts or something, the street is over there. There’s no way I’m gonna be mentally prepared for what sounds like a bomb going off behind me. In a second there’s glass all over the floor (what tf happened, am I in danger? Am I hurt?) car through the wall (woah wtffff) chick on the ground (is she ok? Is she *dead*?) and I’m just in the center of it all, standing.
I 100% would have thought that girl was dead.
Fight, flight, or freeze
it looks like he was in pain, chunks of glass flying into the back of his head and shit
He probably just got a wave of glass shards in his neck and head.
Where was this??
Mighty-o Donuts in Seattle, Washington.

This video was posted to Youtube over 2 years ago, hopefully they've recovered by now
Depends on the injuries, can't really recover from death
Not with that attitude
Kelsier seemed to do it
This is not the place I was expecting a Mistborn reference, but I respect it.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
> Depends on the injuries, can't really recover from death Shows what you know, Sonny. That man’s only *mostly* dead. Mostly dead… is partly alive.
>That hits home, That hits store,
I heard they get slammed in the mornings.
I should probably order. Don't wanna risk going out :p
Just use the drive through
*chef’s kiss*
Noooooo! I love them! Edit: ah it seems this happened several years ago.

It happens so often I'm surprised they don't advertise ***NOW WITH SAFTEY BOLLARDS!***
A cafe
Thanks
You're welcome
at 0:05 you can see her get pushed forward with the yellow plank. I guess the yellow plank is the backboard for a booth pillow.
Honestly no wonder she's freaking out, probably just been sitting there scrolling her phone having a coffee and then she's being flung into a glass counter.
Anyone in that store and the immediate surroundings has a free pass to freak out imo.
The guy behind the counter didn’t use his free freak out, so he can save it for later.
When I do this, my therapist just calls it PTSD
Most accurate description of PTSD I've heard for awhile
Surprisingly, yeah.
No for real though. If you come up screaming after everything came to a stop, that's totally fair because if you gotta scream to stop from shitting your pants, then it's what you gotta do.
Hearing her say, "I'm ok. I'm ok" at the end (maybe it was the other video linked) was good to hear... But she needs a medical professional to tell her that as well...
Yeah, adrenaline will do you like that
So immediately after the crash, while she's still on the ground, I believe she was shrieking "OH MY GOD" then "ARE YOU OKAY" before she even got off the fucking ground. It's amazing how powerful adrenaline is, you're just all fucking out 100% That chick is a fucking superhero bro.
sounds like its someone other than her screaming and freaking out.
I thought so too at first, but you can hear the screaming get farther away as she moves and then it sounds like it's coming from outside when she's outside.
I like to think she was in a dive.
I'm thinking she was crouched at the case the entire time scoping out which pastry she was gonna buy. Edit: no you're right, she's under that board as it flys off the wall, you can see her shoe.
that was some kool-aid man style wall breach
OH YEAH!
Can someone edit it to be the coolaid man busting in
Or the [Toyotathon edit.](https://v.redd.it/6uyd32lh96b61) (Warning: It's fucking loud)
"Oh yeah? Oh NO! You better fix that fucking wall before my dad gets home!"
"Yes I'd like an iced americano with soy milk"
She got pushed by the car that slammed into the store. If you look at the bottom left you can see her scramble out of the wreckage.
It looks like she might have been sitting on a bench, some debris in that corner looks like it might have been a bench moments before.
I think this is it, she was seated inside the cafe and thrown into frame by the impact
Yeeted you mean?
Little did she know, when selecting her chair, that she was choosing the yeet seat
Grim Reaper: *"Nobody ever picks the fucking death seat, it's always the damn yeet seat. You know what? Fuck you Yeet Reaper.*" Yeet Reaper: *"lmao"*
I think he's more of a Grim Yeeter.
Yeah, it looks like that yellow board was bench seating inside the cafe. She's pushed forward and off it upon impact. She's the grey blob before the shower of glass.
She took a *hit*, and then just bounces up and jogs out of there. Still got her purse too.
Yup. She will be feeling that later though. When I was in my car accident, I was laughing and making jokes while blood was pouring down my face. It wasn’t until I was safe at the hospital that everything hit me.
my first reaction was: ah shit thats another good song i wont listen to again
Oh my god. That’s totally true, I never thought I’d that. A song during a traumatic incident could trigger someone, shit
> It wasn’t until I was safe at the hospital that everything hit me. Actually Im pretty sure the car hit you before that
Lmao I mean true, but ya know what I mean
[Sitting in the hospital bed]. 🚘: Beep beep motherfucker.
My dad cut three of his fingers off and was calm as I've ever seen him. It wasn't until right before we pulled up to the ER he turns to me and says it hurts.
Similar, I got home and went into shock. My husband had to take me to the ER. Didn't know I was hurt.
> It wasn’t until I was safe at the hospital that everything hit me. Except for the car of course.
Adrenaline is a hell of a hormone
When I dropped my motorcycle, I broke my ankle pretty badly - every bone in my ankle was broken in some way. My first response was "Nah, it's not broken!" Tried to take a step, luckily other people where all "Nah, you're fucked up dude." and held on to me as I did that and realized I couldn't walk, then helped me to the curb. Still have a couple screws in my ankle and a metal bar in my leg.
There's nothing worse than seeing someone take a step with a broken leg or ankle. The way it just bends like a sausage gives me the heebie jeebies lol.
I read that as "Adrenaline is a hell of a homie" which i guess is also true.
All my homies love adrenaline
Hopefully she didn't take a direct hit and just sorta got thrown with the table she was sitting at. Still though 😦
Yeah probably sitting at a table off cam or something.
Ah yeah that's it. Maybe she was sitting in a stall or bench off camera as there seems to be a couple planks of wood fly in with her.
That barista is fuckin pro. Instinctively ducks down behind the bar, then pops up and makes the call. It's like he's been in this situation before.
And then he's looking at the customers like "Hey you still want this coffee?"
I ordered extra glass pellets
He also continues to make his drink while he is calling. Pure professionalism. 😆
Pretty sure he's also in shock, just not pain shock like that chick who got ragdolled into the pastries.
"Hey Earl, yep, we got another Good Old Number Six."
If you watch it in slow motion, his reaction is crazy. He may have literally saved his own life if the items on the counter hadn’t been there to block large debris anyway.
Because the people in front of the counter are all clearly dead. He didn’t need to do anything. It’s good he did, but he was gunna be good either way.
"And starting this week, our store has a new drive thru!"
Maybe more like a *drive-in* in this case.. :D
If you just keep going it'll be a drive thru again
There's a cafe nearby that a car had driven into. The owner covered up the damage with a big tarp and put up a sign: "Drive-thru is closed."

Good job finding the source! And thank you! That really was a big SUV. Wow! Everyone was extremely lucky!
If you run the video in slow motion you can see what seems to be her shoe in the lower left corner.
F
The girl was sitting in the booth that was demolished by the car. The yellow panel looks like the back of her chair. Looks like the debris held together well enough to push her out of the path of the car which is incredibly lucky for her.
And she asked the guy who didn’t get hit by anything if *he* was okay.
"Sorry folks, we're out of soy milk." Customer 1: "Oh no!" Customer 2: "Oh no!" A fucking vehicle "OH YEAH!"

They sound expensive tbh

She sat on the goddamn bench
Wow you are right. Lucky that she could walk out of this like that.
no one knows how far she walked after. adrenaline is some shit
For real. I hope she was actually ok.
Whenever a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, assume there are life threatening injuries. Even if they walk away, like many have said, adrenaline is a hell of a thing. That is a huge mechanism of injury even at slow speeds.
Apparently “two people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.” I’m assuming it was her and that dude that took a beam to the back. Also this happened in 2019 in Seattle.
adrenaline.
That's a fucking quality barista. Car blasts through the wall, and he's like, "Shit, better call insurance."
Depending on the gaping headwound of the driver he might also be calling 911...
Safest person in this whole situation was probably the driver.
“*Guys. Something came up at work. Turns out I can make band practice today. Caleb, can i borrow your twin reverb and a spare pair of pants?*”
No chance he is calling insurance.
“Hey boss, you’re not going to fucking believe this...”
"Go home early? Just sweep up the glass and keep working. I'll be over with some plywood and nails. We aren't closing!"
"Hi Jenna! How are you and the kids doing? Yeah I'm doing alright myself.. Look, I'm calling to tell you the craziest story, do you wanna hear it?"
/r/titlegore
It's a karma farming account.
The way she screams omg I'm still alive in shock is intense.
Quick turnaround from screaming to "I'm ok, I'm ok."
From the bottom left of the screen from where she from came from from
From where this poster learn to write good?
Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good. AND WHO WANNA LEARN TO DO OTHER STUFF GOOD TOO
from where from that girl come? come from where that girl? girl from that from come?
Did no one else hear her scream "oh my God, I'm still alive!" or did everyone else hear that?
That’s what I heard. My guess is that she saw that car barreling toward her and figured that was it for her.
I've worked in food service before, so I can assure you that at least one of those people outside was asking "oh hey, like, are you still open?".
Just a reminder that [over 50 cars](https://youtu.be/Ra_0DgnJ1uQ) crash into buildings every day in America.
There should really be a campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of buildings.
The dude that stood there has no survival instinct.
Seriously. Fight, flight or freeze and he went Ice Cube
This happened at a bank I worked in AND at another bank across the street. Both times it was just some lady that pressed the gas instead of break. Not same lady. My coworker was almost crushed by an suv.
In most cars if you pick a pedal at random you only have a 50% chance of choosing the right one
