  Speaker 1: you got a bit of a jab to the face.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Was that the case? No, you're well, it was closed,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: but it just grazed my chin and it definitely annoyed

• 1:24
  Speaker 1: No, I'm pleased to hear that. It must have all
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: like it seemed like it was pretty frightening for all
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the women and everybody trying to Like there was a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: bit looked like there was a pregnant lady who was
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: trying to get inside at the start and who was
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: on the phone to police. It would have been a
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: pretty full on situation for everybody there.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, it was probably you know, close to rush hour.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I would have thought after work, everyone's going to get
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: you know, groceries and all that sort of stuff. So yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: there was probably about dove or fifteen people inside the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: store at the time, meant many of them women and children.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And yeah, there was multiple calls to the cops and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the few of the kids were getting a bit upset.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: So yeah, to see it potentially spilling over into the idea, Yeah,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that was a bit worrying for sure.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, And like you said, you know, if you've got
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: women and children inside as well, it's a pretty frightening
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: situation for them.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Oh for sure. Yeah. You know, I just sort of
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm part of a big, large family. I've
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: got multiple sisters, and little nieces and stuff like that,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: so I just thought of it, thought of them. I suppose.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Oh mate, we were watching the vision and I think
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that everybody was hoping that the high viz trading was okay,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: because it did appear as though you'd been punched. So
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: we are glad to hear that you're okay. What a bloke,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: what a good bloke.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Nah, that's all right. I'm sure there would have been
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: many people that would have done it. I was just
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: there at the right time to pick up my letters
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: for dinner.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: When this is the thing, you know, at the moment
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: there's some bad behavior happening, and it does mean that
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you know that sometimes you've got to sort of step
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: up in terms of supporting your local shop owners as well,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: like you did.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. I think living in the territory you sort
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: of see this sort of antisocial behavior just walking down
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: everyday street. But when it's you know, when you can
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: assist in and sort of mitigate the risk to other
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: people by all means you know, people can step in
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: be afraid to do so.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well, and there's such a good crew there,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I know, Manuel, such a lovely man. Whenever I go
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in there's always giving me different Greek treats to try,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: and he really like he treats his customers like family,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: which I love.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Oh definitely. Yeah. They run a great gig down there,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and it's my local, so I frequent there often. And
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I went in there the other night and he sorted
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: me out with a flabber beer. So who knows, I
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: might be putting in my resume of woolies and cold
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: What a bloke. I love it. Yeah, they look for me.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Oh mate, are you known to your friends now? It's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: just the high viz trading?

• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's really hard sometimes in those situations.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I know myself, I've felt really scared when I've been
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: in situations where there's been fights and things like that around,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and it does make you feel a lot better when
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: there are some good men around to be able to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: step up and keep an eye out for everyone.
• 4:48

• 4:51
  Speaker 2: starting to affect other people, innocent bystanders, you know that
