Is this even against the law?

It seems from our video clip that this robber used hypnosis to make a grocery cashier empty a cash register and hand him the money. The good stuff never happens in my lane!

“Your eyelids are getting heavy…”

“The Del Monte fancy creamed corn is on special all week.”

“Heavy, they are getting so very heavy…”

“Here’s your coupon for a free Starbucks beverage.”

“Don’t forget my $2,000 cash-back…”

“You have a good one! Need any help getting all that cash out to the car?”

“No, I can manage it. When I’m out the door, cluck like a chicken!”

I have a much better picture of me. Next time, just ask.

And it wasn’t NEAR $2,000 cash money. I swear I’ll never run out of Slim Jims, though.

The only thing that would make this cooler is if: after robbing the cashier, he steps outside and climbs a rope straight to the clouds and then the rope falls to the ground and he’s never seen again.
