<human>: So I work as a low level manager at a pharmacy chain and I go to work regularly on Saturdays from 2-10.  Usually I come in late because I am friends with the manager that works the morning shift and they don't mind that I am a bit late now and again.  Today I decided that I was going to be on time and left 30 mins early drove through chick fil a and got to work about 5 minutes early.  I soon find out that the store is in chaos mode, way more customers then usual, the cashier hasn't gotten her 30 minute break, and there is no one in the pharmacy so the other cashier has to work the pharmacy registers.  After giving the cashier their break and enduring the horde of angry customers the chaos dies down only to get a phone call from my mother.  For background I live in a suburban neighborhood were nothing has ever happened in 21 years of living there.  Apparently the crazy guy that lives across from me decided that today was the day he was going to hold his wife hostage via gunpoint.  So my entire street is blocked off and a real life episode of Law and Order is occurring on my front lawn (house of crazy guy is directly across from mine) and I get to sit here asking people if they got their flu shot or not.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Went to work early store is in chaos and if I hadn't gone would have witness hostage situation in my front lawn.
