Local Food Service Workers In Peril

Correction to an item from earlier this week: The person robbed at the Franklin Institute earlier this week was not a patron, but the Aramark offices inside the Institute.

Apparently, knowing that Body Worlds wasn’t there anymore and the cashiers at the Franklin Institute wouldn’t have as much cash, the robber went to the inside Aramark offices — they do the food service there, I assume — and robbed it at gunpoint.

Police caught him, and here’s where the plot thickens:

Capt. Mike Sinclair says the man in question may have also been involved with a robbery at the St. Joseph’s University student center: “The lone gunman entered the Saint Joseph’s cafeteria, which is managed by Aramark Food Services, and robbed the night cashier.”

What does all of this mean? We have an ex-Aramark employee with a vengeance out there. The Aramark Shark, if you will. (Hey, you try to come up with a two-word pun for a guy that robs Aramark repeatedly. No, really. Please.)
