Coffee: A Dangerous and Deadly Weapon
Want to hold up a convenience store? Just use coffee.
It’s worked for Jeremy Irvin. He’s robbed six stores in 9 days.
Here’s the strategy.
1. Fix a cup of black coffee.
2. Go up the register to pay for it.
3. Throw hot coffee in the face of the store clerk.
4. Grab money from register.
5. Run.
I think we need to call for a ban on coffee. Six injuries in nine days. It’s out of control!

The “Throw hot coffee in the face of the store clerk” -trick was introduced in The Shield a long time ago. I knew there would be copycats, because that’s hell of a cool way to rob a store! I wonder if there have been many more incidents like this.
I have a habit of paying for the coffee first, then fixing it. That way I don’t spill any coffee in my wallet

That is NUTS! In fact, I think this whole site is nuts. I love it!
On topic: There are so many ways to rob a convenience store it’s hard to prepare for them all. Forget guns and knives, now coffee is a weapon, and there was one hold-up done with a snake …
I did the same thing, but with a Slurpy.
The dude got a brain freeze so bad that his entire head frooze…then I threw one of those crusty ol’ hot dogs at it…and it shattered!!!
I just took some porno mags and a 2 liter bottle of Crystal Pepsi.
I would rob the store like that, then go back and buy more coffee ;+
I do not condone that sort of activity but it definately is an inventive way to rob a store. I love my coffee very much and would never throw it anyone. Coffee should be valued :).
What about the cameras?
this website gives people all the wrong ideas hahaha ;p
What kond of maniac thought of this - throwing a perfectly good cup of coffee away?
…I don’t see why!
wow.. i hope in the future, if it happens to a cashier, they slam the register closed first, before they grab their face. that way, the joke’s on the robber
