Armed robber is calmly snubbed

An armed robber burst into an Italian supermarket — and the cashier calmly ignored him. The masked raider stormed into the shop in broad daylight and demanded the day's takings, but the till worker didn't even end his phone call.

In CCTV footage, the bandit is seen putting a bag on the counter, demanding it be filled with cash. But the assistant casually throws it on the floor, despite having a gun pointed at him.


The robber eventually flees the CISA store empty-handed, and the assistant continues calmly serving customers. A police spokesman in Nuoro, near Cagliari, Sardinia, said: "When we examined the footage we were amazed.

"The man was incredibly brave as he had no idea whether it was a real gun or a fake one, but he just kept ice cool and refused to hand over any money. If it wasn't so serious it would be funny." The manager at CISA refused to identify the cashier, but said he had been given "a few days off".
