"This is a robbery! Put all the money in a large bag, NOW!" "I'm sorry sir, we don't know what 'large' is. Do you mean a 'tall' bag, or a 'venti' bag, or..."

@ JacqueMehoff Why rob them at the start of the business day? Because most stores have a large sum of cash in the register to make change. If there is no cash in the register how would you get your change if you paid for your $3 coffee with a $10 bill. Also, less people in the store in the morning. You need to take How to Rob 101. I still have the book if you need it for the class.

Well, their coffee prices are highway robbery anyways so I guess the robbers were just taking their money back. As long as no employees were hurt, I can care less. I bet the store made that money back in 2 hours. Fuck all this fancy ass coffee, just give me a cup of gas station coffee, I'm good!

Hopefully the dill egg salad sandwiches emerged unscathed.

Just two remarks: 1. Will this robbery be for here or to go? 2. Would you like that cash warmed up?

I had no idea Starbucks had that much cash, most people just swipe their cards....oh well, just another reason to patronize independent coffee shops
