Cashier tells would-be thief to remove hat or leave
DAYTON — The cashier was apparently unconcerned when a male ran into her store on Wednesday, Oct. 29, with a loose knitted cap pulled over his head. The subject, who the cashier later said might have been just a kid, stepped next to a customer in line at the Rite Aid at 1158 Wilmington Ave., pointed a cell phone as if it were a gun and said, “Give me all your money,” according to a police report.
“(The cashier) did not take him seriously,” the report said.
The cashier told the subject to take his hat off or he would have to leave the store. The subject put the cell phone back in his pocket and said, “I’m being serious, give me all your money,” the report said.
The cashier again came back with, “Sir, take your hat off or leave.” The subject stood silent for a moment, and the cashier then told him to leave because he refused to take off his hat, the report said.
“Oh man,” the subject said before running out of the door, according to the report.
Officers, who responded to the Rite Aid at 5:30 p.m., combed the area for several minutes attempting to locate someone matching the description but did not find the suspect.

Sometimes it takes a school teacher or mother’s type attitude to deal with these hoodlums. I did something similer a few years ago when tending bar. 2 guys were intent on killing each other, had already punched out my bouncer and the guys who usually came to my aid didn’t act fast enough. I told the fighters to take their crap out of my bar and across the street. When they saw it was a woman breaking up the fight they sulked off like school boys. I went back behind the bar and almost wet myself and dropped a beer bottle I was shaking so badly!

Sometimes it just takes intelligence and nerves to control a situation. Amen
