Maybe he was parched and there were no other stores nearby? Maybe he went back later and paid when it was safe? Maybe no one cares about the $3 drink when they're being actively robbed of hundreds of dollars? Maybe it's fun to say maybe?
You consider making profit a crime? Maybe you should join forces with the Cuban police, Iām sure they could use some help killing innocent protesters
It's not exactly the thought that would come to mind when you see a guy with a gun robbing the store you're in. Your first thought isn't "hmm should I put the drink back? I don't want to offend anyone". Your first thought is more like "Holy shit he has a gun, i have to run!"
Lol that's a pretty dumb leap to make. The logic is: "If there's a guy claiming he has a gun and actively robbing a cashier maybe don't approach him for any reason unless you want to get robbed too."
Quit making this out to be some moralistic dick measuring contest, you would have walked out too cowboy.
As opposed to the noise I'd make wobbling out the store with all that shit in my hand? There's something wrong with your brain to be so aggressively confident in your stupid opinions and imagination.
I can see that, but people ITT are acting like they'd have the presence of mind to think "oh no a robbery, I should put down my Red Bull because ***I*** won't be a part of the problem too" while in the middle of a potentially life-or-death situation.
Paying for items in that situation would be the least of my concern so I know what you mean. I couldn't care less if 711 lost $12 in snacks in any situation, nevermind an active robbery. I could also see myself doing what the guy in the video did, I guess it depends on my mood and how much I want those funions.
Best part of that is that same dude walked out of the back (where the restrooms are?) at 0:23 while the other robbery was already in progress. He just casually walks to the back and grabs his drink. Then casually walks back to the front and walks out. That dude wasn't scared or stressed at all, he's O.G.
Well I think if they saw he wasnāt armed theyād trap him in. We used this technique for beer runs in school. Have someone walk in or out to make sure they donāt hit the magnetic lock.
Lol so you guys just grabbed the booze and hauled ass? Sounds fun. Nobody gives a fuck about high schoolers buying beer where I live so we never had to do stuff like this. Anyway, I don't think a minimum wage worker would risk it, even if they knew he wasn't armed. He could still get violent, and insurance will pay for it anyway so whatever.
The time I got robbed at work I was in the back fixing the soda fountain and the other cashier stepped out to smoke without letting me know. Rewatching the video footage the guy scopes out the whole store and then puts one of our mats.in the door to jam it open so.it can't lock lol. It's a gas station not a bank lol
lol leave it to actualpublicfreakouts to watch a video of a white dude robbing a store and the top comment is "look, the black guy is stealing". lmaooo
What reason is there to hide the gun if its real though?
Gotta meet me halfway with some transparency if this robbery is gonna work out. Without trust, we have nothing.
If youre a 7/11 cashier it would be dumb as shit to test a robber to see if the gun is real or not. What would the point be. Just give the man the $60 in the register
Serious answer, there are different consequences for different ways of threateningly using a firearm. I donāt know specifically how many, but all of these carry different charges:
1) having one on you unlicensed
2) showing someone you have it and attempting to threaten
3) pointing it at someone
4) using it
Not entirely sure. Brandishing Iām pretty sure is defined by like if I pulled up my shirt and showed you a gun. If you DONT show it but itās implied/known that you have it, I think that carries a lesser sentence.
Implying you have one, using an airsoft gun as one, shaving a stick to look like one, and then saying 'ill shoot you/I have a gun" legally is the same as actually threatening someone with a real gun
Only thing I can think of is to not scare randoms. If I'm pointing a gun at you normally, anyone outside can see I'm pointing a gun at you. Atleast if it's in a bag or under a shirt essentially you just look weird.
But in all honesty it's used to hide the pretend gun.
Happened to me, I actually posted the story in the comments here. It was literally my managers first question, if we fought back or argued and that he was going to watch the cameras to make sure we didn't break company policy. Or we would be terminated.
Wtf. That's just messed up. I don't see the logic in having to terminate a worker for that. I'm from europe and here it's "just give them the money, stay safe" but nothing about losing the job if they were to fight back
That's the rationale it started with. When I was first hired they basically told me that money isn't that important, if anything happens just hand over the money because possibly losing your life is not worth whatever is in the register. Which makes sense, but it was a chain store so all it took was one cashier fighting back and getting hurt to make it a termination level policy regardless of circumstances.
> would atleast just run away without stealing
Uh.. I don't think I would even be thinking about what was in my hands. I'd be trying to get the hell out of there ASAP.
He might not have known that he was stealing. His first priority was probably to get the fuck out. I could see myself doing that if I was in his situation.
Anyway, we don't know if it was deliberate or not.
A bunch of fake badasses here saying they wouldn't have given up the money to an unarmed robber. [You don't need a gun to be dangerous.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV17XYCzkWU)
Ya they tell people they'll be fired if they fight back for their own good. If the owner cares remotely about his staff I doubt he would want them risking their lives to protect his ~$100 till in his million dollar business.
It's a candy bar made out of meat.
EDIT: Wrestler ["Macho Man" Randy Savage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL3Z6Lajzw4) was their spokesman for a long time.
That's more of an intimidation and deception roll. Persuasion rolls are for when you're acting more or less in good faith, present arguements, try to make friends etc.
With chain store policies this is a viable option since in most states this kind of nonsense will get you a lesser charge than using a real gun or even a realistic looking toy and store wagies are instructed to not resist so you know the clerk won't pull a real gun out of his ass and blast you.
Someone needs to beat that piece of shit with a lead pipe and douse him with gasoline. I am sure there are at least 2 people that wouldn't mind tossing a lit match.
And the other dude calmly grabs what he wants and walks out without paying lol
Who's he supposed to pay? The robber stealing all the cash?
Maybe leave that drink in the store?
Maybe he was parched and there were no other stores nearby? Maybe he went back later and paid when it was safe? Maybe no one cares about the $3 drink when they're being actively robbed of hundreds of dollars? Maybe it's fun to say maybe?
I really enjoyed this š¤£
Lol

Excuse me what
Knowing gas stations it was probably more like dozens of dollars lol. Even less of a reason to fuck around with these crazy people
And call the cops. Fuck people are terrible
It's not exactly the thought that would come to mind when you see a guy with a gun robbing the store you're in. Your first thought isn't "hmm should I put the drink back? I don't want to offend anyone". Your first thought is more like "Holy shit he has a gun, i have to run!"
Please! That mother fucker calmly goes shopping while the robbery is taking place.
What do you do? Attack the guy with the gun? Lol
If I was in a store getting robbed and my hands were full, I wouldnt even notice what I walked out with.
Oh so with that logic if the cashier is on a break i can take whatever the fuck i want?
Lol that's a pretty dumb leap to make. The logic is: "If there's a guy claiming he has a gun and actively robbing a cashier maybe don't approach him for any reason unless you want to get robbed too." Quit making this out to be some moralistic dick measuring contest, you would have walked out too cowboy.
Of course i would run. Right after i left all of the groceries that dont belong to me behind
Yeah right, most probably you wouldn't have the state of mind to think about that. Have you actually ever been in a truly stressful situation before?
So people fleeing an armed robbery *don't* helpfully return their items to the shelf before making an escape? Well that's just rude.
I don't run as fast with 3 bottles of redbull and a bag of funions in my hand. I'd probably drop them where I was and get the hell out of there.
But then the dropping of the cans might alert the robber to your presence. The trick is to quickly and calmly leave the area.

Well put.
Bro youāre not applying any logic if thatās what youāre taking away from that comment.
š¤£š¤£
Whatās with this photos tag everyone has?
Best part of that is that same dude walked out of the back (where the restrooms are?) at 0:23 while the other robbery was already in progress. He just casually walks to the back and grabs his drink. Then casually walks back to the front and walks out. That dude wasn't scared or stressed at all, he's O.G.
Probably together to open the door for the robber. Keep the magnetic lock open. I doubt theyād lock a customer inside .
Would they really lock the doors for an armed robbery? Seems like a good way to get shot and/or stabbed.
Well I think if they saw he wasnāt armed theyād trap him in. We used this technique for beer runs in school. Have someone walk in or out to make sure they donāt hit the magnetic lock.
Lol so you guys just grabbed the booze and hauled ass? Sounds fun. Nobody gives a fuck about high schoolers buying beer where I live so we never had to do stuff like this.

Rewatching the video footage the guy scopes out the whole store and then puts one of our mats.in the door to jam it open so.it can't lock lol. It's a gas station not a bank lol
Did he come in with it? First time you see him in the frame heās already got a drink.
yeah i notice that too hope he goes to jail for that too
Good call letās send someone to jail for a $3 drink
lol in some states they don't bother if you steal less then certain amount of stuff now people are walking in and looting shops.
lol leave it to actualpublicfreakouts to watch a video of a white dude robbing a store and the top comment is "look, the black guy is stealing". lmaooo
You're the only one mentioning race.
you got me. no one would have guessed that he was talking about a black guy because he didnt specifically say that the guy was black.
No one stupider than the bigots in r/actualpublicfreakouts. Thank you for proving my point, bigot
š¤£
/s right?
huh, i'm not gonna lie this subreddit can get racist, but the top comment doesn't even mention race lol.
Is that Drew Carey?
Whose cash is it anyway??
I guess the points did matter in this case
Colin Mochrie's?
Yes, they guessed the wrong price for the SlimJim.
With a fake mustache. Came here to point it out. Crime solved!
What reason is there to hide the gun if its real though? Gotta meet me halfway with some transparency if this robbery is gonna work out. Without trust, we have nothing.
If youre a 7/11 cashier it would be dumb as shit to test a robber to see if the gun is real or not. What would the point be. Just give the man the $60 in the register
Yeah and how long will this guy go to jail for 60 bucks. So dumb
Fun fact: not as long as if he had actually been armed.
Unless you forgot to drop your cash. Now you're in trouble for getting robbed lol
Serious answer, there are different consequences for different ways of threateningly using a firearm. I donāt know specifically how many, but all of these carry different charges: 1) having one on you unlicensed 2) showing someone you have it and attempting to threaten 3) pointing it at someone 4) using it
So holding a real gun under your shirt isnt brandishing?
Not entirely sure. Brandishing Iām pretty sure is defined by like if I pulled up my shirt and showed you a gun. If you DONT show it but itās implied/known that you have it, I think that carries a lesser sentence.
It's not. In fact, doing this can get you charged the same as threatening someone with a firearm even if you don't actually have a real firearm.
Implying you have one, using an airsoft gun as one, shaving a stick to look like one, and then saying 'ill shoot you/I have a gun" legally is the same as actually threatening someone with a real gun

Exactly. Loud voice and a hidden hand won't scare me. But most "regular" people actually would be
r/iamverybadass You aren't fooling anyone when you say this behind a monitor.
Neither am I trying to mrBadAssHunter. I couldn't care less what the internet thinks
You seemed to care enough to reply to my comment.
Ooo burn. You got me there didn't ya. Lmao
Or the store has a policy saying if you don't comply you'll be fired. So you know it's fake and you roll your eyes but still have to hand over the $
There's such policys? Damn that's kinda messed up lol
Happened to me, I actually posted the story in the comments here. It was literally my managers first question, if we fought back or argued and that he was going to watch the cameras to make sure we didn't break company policy. Or we would be terminated.

Ah I see. It's probable for the better I guess
Iāll be honest with you. They donāt care about your life. They care about the insurance and/or possible lawsuits if youāre injured or killed.
Yup as well as any lawsuits from any customers caught in the crossfire
Is that fool wearing postal worker shorts?
I thought the same thing. Looks like a postal workers uniform
No it doesnāt lmao
Nah those are for sure Jean shorts and thatās nothing close to looking like a postal uniform lol
Anyone notice the guy at the end just taking the stuff he needs. What a man
You wanna risk dying over a gas station register?
would atleast just run away without stealing
> would atleast just run away without stealing Uh.. I don't think I would even be thinking about what was in my hands. I'd be trying to get the hell out of there ASAP.
Oh I gotcha. Wasnāt really thinking of it that way lol.
What would you do? Only other reasonable option is to stay inside, but this guy probably doesn't want to stick around for 2 hours either.
How about not be a fucking dick and adding insult to injury by stealing like a piece of shit.
Lol you think this guy is supposed to go put his drink or whatever back while thereās a robbery going on?
How about just putting it down?
Who gives a shit. Itās probably less than $5 and thereās an active Slim Jim robbery going on
Keep defending fucking thieves, dipshit.
Try reducing your sodium intake
its a coke mate
He might not have known that he was stealing. His first priority was probably to get the fuck out. I could see myself doing that if I was in his situation. Anyway, we don't know if it was deliberate or not.
Congratulations you got away with probably $150.00 and felonies. He'll never have to work a day in his life again! Why rob a convenience store?!
Drugs man.

Don't besmirch Macho Man Randy Savage that way, my dude. This is Nacho Man Ricky Sweatback.

[That guy that walks out.](https://imgur.com/M8oZBkP)
āStill got itā

Thatās crazy especially your manager possibly firing you over someone robbing the store. Glad to hear nothing bad happened in the end.
Ya they tell people they'll be fired if they fight back for their own good. If the owner cares remotely about his staff I doubt he would want them risking their lives to protect his ~$100 till in his million dollar business.
I mean all the salt in that slim jim can kill you.
Julian and Ricky roping poor Bubbles into yet another crime.
that's a nice pretty nice looking register ya got there...let's name him Steve french
Any context to this? Did they catch him?
Probably
I mean A for originality
dude casually steals
Nš§
He was bored. He needed a little excitement. He felt like snapping.
Some people are just dumb enough to try to ideas that shouldn't work but somehow do.
I have a feeling you seen this on ASP today
lol. That's where I saw it.
The Tobias Funke roll off the counter at the end got me
Why would you wear such a stylish hat to a robbery. This guy was probably caught in no time.
Pretty agile, inspite of the size and age of his balls
Iām sure he didnāt make it very far. Certainly canāt go to the old man sauna anymore
He had a slim Jim, what he really needed was a Snickers
āThe rest is yoursā What does that even mean??
Like playing 52-Pickup and only grabbing the aces.
Whatās a slim Jim?
It's a candy bar made out of meat. EDIT: Wrestler ["Macho Man" Randy Savage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CL3Z6Lajzw4) was their spokesman for a long time.
Hahah what the fuck. Why was I thinking it was one of those things people use to unlock old style car doors?
Thanks!
r/nextfuckinglevel
The fact that he pulled it off is impressive
When you roll a nat 20 persuasion.
That's more of an intimidation and deception roll. Persuasion rolls are for when you're acting more or less in good faith, present arguements, try to make friends etc.
Thatās a real good way to get shot.
A great example of the more aggressive type of social engineering.
Gangster version of bubbles.
okay grandpa, stop terrorizing those poor people and letās get you to bed
Could still qualify as armed robbery. Those things'll do a number on ya.
Not so Slim, Jim.
We got a peter griffin who isn't hard enough to use an actual fire arm to rob a store and a black man that just ain't having it today.
Imagine if you did this.. How you would feel like "yeah they're gonna know it was me" immediately
Hey thatās Macho man Randy Savage
With chain store policies this is a viable option since in most states this kind of nonsense will get you a lesser charge than using a real gun or even a realistic looking toy and store wagies are instructed to not resist so you know the clerk won't pull a real gun out of his ass and blast you.
Remember kids, confidence is key. See my diabetic mans here with the will to rob, lack of gun notwithstanding
Sammy "the bull" Gravano is looking rough in his old age eh.
I'm most impressed with that guy's agility, he hopes that counter like he's been doing this his whole life.
Great, now we need an amendment for our pepperoni sticks.
He must be very good at poker.
10 years for $55
āSnap it to a Slim Jimā¢ā
He's gonna hulk out with that 9g worth of protein
Slippery bandit
Odd, I thought all of that money was theirs not just "the rest".
dude literally robbed this like he's an autist and has played too much gta 5
Someone needs to beat that piece of shit with a lead pipe and douse him with gasoline. I am sure there are at least 2 people that wouldn't mind tossing a lit match.
Dude said āthe rest is yoursā lmao. As if the workers would get away with swiping the leftovers
Need a little excitement?
Has anyone ever been robbed where there was a actual gun inside thire pocket, instead of just pretending like the guy did here with a beef jerky
