My dad's restaurant got robbed over the weekend. All they took was a gum ball machine and broke the glass door. (Total expenses: $1100) Since we have video surveillance we were able to see the guy and he is in jail right now. (I will post a link to the video once I upload it on YouTube.)
Yay for video surveillance! Why would someone want to steal a gumball machine, though?! Isn't that about the least optimal weight-to-profit ratio possible?

Someone who desperately wants a gumball machine and/or someone under heavy influence of drugs? I, personally, would wager the latter...
He looked like he wanted to steal something else, but we have a very loud alarm and he probably got scared when he heard it and just grabbed the nearest thing by the window.

Ah, that makes sense. I think in that situation I'd just run, though. Mexi1010 wrote:
I sure hope you would not GET into that situation Kerm.
That was an obviously-implied prerequisite of my post.
To those of you saying who would steal a gumball machine I leave you with this: Who wouldn't steal a gumball machine?
people are crazy. what ticks me off at work is when people in drive through come up and order this big meal (like four 4 piece chicken tenders or an 12/16 piece chicken meal (especially if we don't have that much chicken) and then drive off, as now we wasted all that food making it).

screw that - I'd eat it. Be like, "Hey boss, rather than throwing it into the trash, can we throw it into my mouth?"
yeah, would be nice, but with chicken, we just put it on hold, and hopefully we can get more tender orders quickly. That, and I think under health code, we can't eat unless we are on break or something.
