I had a guy once robbed a local store. There was a customer already in line, so he picked up an item and got out a $20 bill like he was waiting to pay. When the customer left, he put down the twenty and said, “This is a robbery. Give me all your money.” The clerk had just made a drop, so all the guy got was seven dollars. And he ran out without his twenty. So he paid $13 to rob the store. Detectives in the next town looked at the video and said, “Yeah, we know him. That’s Bobby. He’s not too bright.”
