Robber Complains About Skimpy Haul
A Georgia man who robbed a Wendy’s was so mad about the amount of loot that he called back to complain – twice! The man walked up to the drive-thru window of an Atlanta Wendy’s late Saturday night, wearing a ski mask and holding a gun. He demanded the cash in the drawer, grabbed it and ran away. He later called the restaurant to complain about the tiny amount of cash. Police said in his first call he told the manager that the “next time there better be more than $586.” He called again a few minutes later with a similar complaint. |
