“Authorities caught a Lake Worth man running down the street with a stolen cash register. Greenacres police reported that a 32-year-old man entered a restaurant Thursday afternoon and asked for change for a $10 bill. When the cashier asked to see the bill, the man reportedly began screaming, ‘I want change’

Police said the man then grabbed about $40 from a tip box, picked up the cash register containing nearly $300 and ran out.”

I always tip a waitperson when I dine at a restaurant, but I never drop change into a tip box when I’m picking up a “to go” order. A tip is acknowledgement of good service, but a cashier handing me my takeout order isn’t deserving of a gratuity.

If the thief had only grabbed the tip box, I would have wished him good luck in getting away. The idiot was quickly nabbed by the police, running down the street with a stolen cash register is akin to wearing a sandwich board sign that reads: I’m a thief.

This clown needs to go to vocational school and learn a trade, he’ll never make it as a thief.
