I'm so glad that pathetic robber didn't hurt the clerk. I know the clerk. It's a damn shame that people are too lazy to work for their own money and rather rob, steal from, or kill somebody else for theirs. The thief only got away with $109.00. He also robbed the Kroger, Walgreens, and Chucky Cheese's restaurant. Pathetic bastard!   more ›
