The convenience store where OP works implements an “always comply with muggers” policy to avoid potential lawsuits from injured employees:
OP, who has worked at the convenience store for five years, has experienced six straightforward robberies where the perpetrators demand money, the store complies, the robbers leave and the police are called, but no action is taken.
During one of the robberies OP witnessed, a young guy, appearing to be around 18-20 years old and without a mask but wearing a hoodie, paced around the store:
During an early morning incident with no other customers present, the young robber demanded money from OP at the register and warned against any resistance, eventually hopping behind the counter to retrieve the cash.
During the robbery, an old woman enters the store and unexpectedly recognizes the young robber, addressing him as “Noah” and greeting him warmly, causing the robber to freeze with the money in his hands.
The older woman continues to shout and engage in a conversation with the young robber and discusses family matters, completely oblivious to the ongoing robbery. The robber tries to clarify the misunderstanding, but the woman continues her chattering and proceeds to shop in the store.
OP remains motionless, observing the unfolding situation as the robber, still positioned behind the register, reluctantly assists the older woman, who continues to mistake him for Noah and requests his help in reaching items on high shelves despite his protests.
While the robber helps the older woman, OP seizes the opportunity to discreetly call the police, causing the robber to grow even more anxious, likely suspecting that the authorities have been alerted.
In an attempt to maintain a calm atmosphere until the oblivious older woman leaves the store, OP steps aside and allows the panicked robber to check her out:
After the woman leaves, the robber quickly flees from the store and escapes in a waiting car, having failed to obtain any money. Police reached the store after 20 minutes.
In a peculiar twist of events, this young mugger tried to rob the store but he couldn’t. While the reasons behind his actions remain unknown, the unexpected interruption by the elderly woman turned the heist into a comedic spectacle, as she mistook the bewildered robber for someone else and engaged him in a lively conversation. This bizarre incident serves as a reminder that even in the face of crime, life has a knack for injecting moments of absurdity and unpredictability.
