If you’ve experienced an armed robbery or you know of someone who has, then you understand just how frightening it is. Having a stranger walk into your business with a weapon in hand isn’t a laughing matter. Sadly, a lot of people have lost their lives because of this very type of situation.
Once in a blue moon, an armed robber does something so unexpected and well, stupid, you can’t help but laugh. That was the case when one man got the idea of robbing a place. But let’s just say things didn’t go quite the way he anticipated.
Where are the manners?
In a video that more than 800,000 views have now watched, you see a man standing at the counter of what appears to be a deli or diner. The man stands there with a hoodie over his head and a black bag in his left hand. He places the bag on the counter but instead of being acknowledge, the owner working behind the counter completely ignores him.
Taking care of business
This business owner is far too busy taking care of his customers to focus on the would-be armed robber. In the video, you see him finish packing up a sack lunch, which he then hands to someone who was waiting in line. As he goes about his duties, the owner doesn’t even glance at the person intending to rob the place.
Sorry bud…still working
The owner behind the counter keeps doing what he needs to do to keep his paying customers happy. At this point, the man trying to commit armed robbery is starting to feel a little rejected. So, to make himself appear more serious, he opens the black bag. Now, we can’t hear what’s being said in the video, but he’s still not getting the attention he wants.
“Maybe if I point my gun at him”
I’m pretty sure that’s what this robber was thinking. But nope, that didn’t work either. Instead of even looking at the bad guy, the business owner turns around to start working on another customer’s order. It’s almost as though he doesn’t even see the man or the gun pointed in his direction.
And…he’s out of there
Realizing no one’s going to give him the cash in the register, let alone the time of day, the armed robber gives up. That’s when he grabs his black bag and his gun and leaves the property. Talk about having a bad day. That’s what I call rejection at its finest.
He meant business
You can clearly see the gun in the man’s hand as he walks out of the business. So, it seems he was serious about holding the place up. The problem…no one else was interested in playing his game. According to Inside Edition, this took place at a shop in New Zealand where people love to go for lunch.
I don’t know if this guy is crazy or the business owner is accustomed to people trying to rob him. But either way, it’s 1 for the owner and 0 for the bad guy. Check out the video for yourself by clicking on it below.
