Got a good job, at the Dollar Store...

I read in the paper yesterday, that a local Dollar Store was robbed. Two employees were forced into the back while the place was robbed. No one was hurt.

My first thought was, the Dollar Store??? You're going to rob a place and you hit the DOLLAR STORE??? What the HELL were they thinking? Did they only need a couple bucks for a few coffees? Did they just need money to get into a movie perhaps? I mean, if that's you needed, then why rob a bank, or a liquor store, or a pawn shop, those places would have WAY more money than you'd need. So, sure, why not hit the Dollar Store. Or maybe they were jonesing for some really cheap, generic household supplies, or food, or toys or something, and a regular store, with it's name brand items, just wouldn't satisfy thier cravings.

Man, if they catch the morons that did this, they do need to go to jail. Not for robbery but for being stupid in public. Crimeny.

Or maybe it's one of the few places out there where most of the transactions are cash instead of credit card or check.

Still, I laughed when I first read that, too.

Still it is not the dumbest robbery I've heard of. I think that may be my local convenient store that was robbed a few months ago. The girl behind the counter said her experience working in a bar had taught her how to handle men. She told the obviously straight guy that he was cute and gave him her phone number then she said sweetie may I have your number? He proceeded to wirte down his phone number, his name, and his address. If men aren't thinking with their Penis they are acting directly on it's behalf is certainly true. It goes without saying the police went to his home and arrested him confiscating the money and the cartons of cigarettes he had taken. He's still no doubt waiting for the girl to call him. Ed
