2:18Now Playing"An assistant manager at an Arby's, who slipped out of a drive-thru window to get away from an armed robber who invaded the store early Friday, has been fired.
Mary Archer learned of her fate less than 24 hours after a man with a knife slipped into the business, 1130 E. Dayton Yellow Springs Road, at about 12:45 a.m.
She signed the paperwork her supervisor gave her, which stated that she had broken the corporation's safety and security policy because she was alone in the fast food business when it was robbed.
Archer, 56, told News Center 7's Layron Livingston, in an exclusive interview Friday night, that she was closing the business for the day and a co-worker had just left when she heard the doorbell to the business.
Archer said she thought it was the co-worker, who perhaps had forgotten something.
To her horror, it was the robber.
"He held up a knife and kept saying 'give me the money,' " she said.
The man had her cornered in the office, Archer said, but she shoved him out of the way and made her way to the drive-thru window, where she screamed for help. She then climbed through the window.
A customer at a nearby Circle K store heard her, alerted someone in the convenience store, and police were called.
"I had pushed him away...because I'm like, 'I'm not going to die in Arby's tonight...I'm just not,' " she said."* How could Arby's make such a robotic and unsympathetic decision toward such a longstanding employee? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break the story down.
