Starbucks Robber Settles For Coffee Instead Of Cash

A man walked into a Huntsville, Alabama Starbucks yesterday and asked for the cashier to clean out the register. He didn't walk out with any cash though. All he walked out with was a cup of coffee...keep reading to find out some more idiotic details to this story.

From Inquisitr:

Phillip Sawdey was allegedly after some cash when he attempted to rob the Alabama Starbucks on Sunday morning. According to AOL News, the individuals entered the restaurant and demanded that the woman behind the counter clean out the register.

 

However, the employee explained to the would-be robber that she was unable to open her register at the man’s request. Instead of giving him money, the worker offered the suspect a cup of coffee. Sawdey took the beverage and left the premises.

 

WAFF reports that the suspect wasn’t too far away from the location he attempted to rob when police arrived on the scene. Sawdey was found in the parking lot quenching his thirst with the free cup of coffee he’d just received.

The robber was arrested by Huntsville police and charged with robbery.

Apparently it's becoming a sort of robbery trend to hit up Starbucks. Last Wednesday a man was arrested for robbing a Massachusetts Starbucks, and another man was recently arrested for robbing a California Starbucks.

LEAVE STARBUCKS ALONE!
