Thirsty Starbucks robber settles for coffee instead of cash

1/21/2013

Sometimes only coffee will help. A dumb, hapless and presumably caffeine-dependent robber allegedly hit a Starbucks on Airport Rd in Huntsville, Ala., demanding "all the cash." The cashier informed him she could not open the cash drawer and offered him a cup of Joe in lieu of the day's takings. Rather than leave empty-handed, police say Phillip Sawdey accepted the woman's offer and left to enjoy his tasty, life-giving beverage in peace. According to the police report, the cops soon found him in a nearby parking lot and arrested him. Bet he wishes he'd taken a cookie, too. [Source]
