Convenience Store Employee Scares Off Robber By Reprimanding Him

Seems like there are two ways to handle a robbery. Either you do the smart thing which is to cooperate and give the robber whatever they want and let them leave or you do the "Hollywood" thing and try and be the hero by tackling the person. Apparently their is a third option, reprimand the robber enough to shame him into leaving and turning himself into the cops.

While the story makes for a good laugh, the truth is, it was probably a pretty stupid thing to do. The 59 year old female employee is probably incredibly lucky she didn't aggravate the assailant. Still, I really wish there was a YouTube video of the whole event somewhere!

    She is extremely lucky, but what a great story!

    How old was the guy? Maybe she reminded him of his mom. "Aw c'mon, did you have to yell at me in front of all the terrified customers? You *totally* ruined my entrance! You know, just ... whatEVER. I didn't really feel like robbing you anyhow."

    I just like that verbally, the skeleton joke is not that funny. It only becomes Hindi jokes once you visualize the event happening. It's such a short joke, it's a bit jarring to hear it end so soon, so your brain goes over it to find the humour, and then it's funny.

    What did she say to him? "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to rob me?"....?
