You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up!
« on: October 06, 2012, 12:01:37 AM »
Colorado Springs: A guy walked into a little corner store with a shot gun and demanded all the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but he refused and said "Because I don't believe you are over 21." The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn't believe him. At this point the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over, and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.

 :lol: Someone with that mentality is probably still sitting in his cell wondering how the law caught up to him so quickly. :???:

I move that board policy be modified to require that all news stories include a source link.

I found several hits for this story, but all on un-sourced legal or dumbest criminal type sites.

Here is a good story, about "world's dumbest clerks" - UK edition.

I had a bad ID picture on my school ID, so I substituted a picture of Donald Duck and got by with that for years,  I eventually got the picture re-taken when I was waiting for a meeting at the district office.  Or maybe they thought it was an improvement :roll:

The guy's probably sitting in a cell working on a revenge plan for the clerk that "tricked" him and made him look stupid.

Yeah. The next time he goes there to rob him he won't bring his ID. That'll showem.
