Armed Robbery!

One of our stores got robbed yesterday! Armed robbery, just like the movies! Three masked men enter the Subway restaurant and demand money from the clerk and the seven customers who were already in there ordering food, having them lay flat on the floor!

They looked professional and sure were quick. But their efforts, in vain, walking away with just about $136 and a customer’s Coach Handbag, who did not fail to boast about its originality and the huge stack of cash that she was carrying. Just a minute before the raid she was broke, expressing her harsh life tale to the clerk working her way towards a free meal.

To come back to the burglars, leave us alone! We do not carry too much money in the register, not enough to buy you dope for sure!
