Ever been desperate for money? Ever been so desperate for money that you applied for a job at a fast food place? Well, one man was that desperate – and then some.
A man in Haverstraw, New York went into a Taco Bell, intending to hold the place up. He pulled a gun on the clerk and demanded money. So far this is a typical robbery, right? Well, then instead of trying to get the money out of the register, the man walked to the manager’s office and asked for an application. (Also: it was 2 AM when this happened.) The manager said no. The would-be robber left.
That’s right, folks – the robber left without money or a job. That has to hurt. I mean, if you can’t even steal money from a Taco Bell at 2 AM without messing up, you have got to rethink your career path. Here’s some unsolicited advice – might I suggest another fast food joint? This time, show up during normal business hours and leave your gun at home. You’re welcome.
Thanks to Save the Assistants!
