Well that’s a kinder, gentler way of robbing the place. Just ask for the money.

Da Fug? Maybe he thought the clerk would think about it for a moment and hand him the till with a Merry Christmas?

Chemtrails + Christmas / Lithium Rocket Tests = weird stuff going on.

Really, there isn’t even $50 in those tills….

Better off knocking on the door of the local grow house and asking for a donation.

With liberal policies in place, the owner of the gas station will probably be arrested for discrimination against the homeless
