WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — Police said clerks at a convenience store that was robbed twice in recent months threw money at a man in a case of a mistaken robbery.
The clerks at Five Star Snacks and More thought they were being robbed last Thursday when they were confronted by a rambling man who had his hand in his pocket. Police Capt. John Beckman said the clerks put money in a bag and threw it the man, who left it alone and walked out of the store.
Police said the man was drunk and the robbery suspicions were a mistake.
The man was arrested for public intoxication, disorderly conduct and interference.

Poor guy wanders into a store for some Tic Tacs and gets assaulted with a bag of money. Now I'm sure the clerks were trained as I was, give a robber anything he wants. Just cooperate and survive. But I have to think that his superiors may raise some concerns when a cashier just empties the drawer whenever a funny looking guy shows up. Might want to wait for the gun to make an appearance or, at the very least, wait until he asks for the cash.
