Dumbass Robber At My Local Pizza Hut

[DMark]

So I went for the special $10 deal of pasta at my local Pizza Hut yesterday. It is located in a strip mall area, towards the back of the lot.
Noticed the glass pane windows were all boarded up with wood but the place was open.

I asked what happened.

“After we closed a couple days ago, someone drove their car into the front windows, broke them and came in to rob the register.”

I expressed surprise and added, “Most people I see coming in here pay with credit card or ATM card…”

The girl behind the counter said, “Yeah, they got a grand total of $5.00 from our register.”

I am not criminally inclined, but even I know that robbing a closed Pizza Hut is not going to reap huge sums of money - for a business that doesn’t really use all that much cash.
My guess is there was probably more than $5 damage to the idiot’s bumper when they drove into the plate glass windows.

I’m surprised there was even $5 in the till. Every place I worked as a kid cleaned out the till and deposited the money when they closed.

Robbers aren’t really known for their intellectual proclivity.

My guess is the car was stolen and the idiot doesn’t care about the damage.

My best friend worked at several fast food places before college, and tells me the entire reason they don’t do that anymore is how many people use credit or debit. The deposit runs are made once a week or so now, or seemingly random at the manager’s discretion.

But still, you would think they would at least get it out of the till at night and lock it in the office or something.

Here’s my dumbass robber story:

When I was a teenager working at McDonald’s the night manager was robbed by a guy wearing a motorcycle helmet just as she was putting the deposit into the safe. He was easily caught because some random passer-by thought it was weird that a guy wearing a motorcycle helmet was getting into a car and took down the license plate. It turned out to be another manager, which was how he knew the security code to get into the back. Moron.
