A group of thieves set out to rob a local petrol station. They shut the doors, tied up the staff and went straight for the till, only to discover it held not a single coin.

So they improvised. The men pulled on the attendants’ uniforms, stepped behind the counter and spent the next three hours selling fuel to customers in order to complete their so called robbery. By the end of the shift they had made 600 dollars.

Later that evening the station’s forum filled with glowing customer reviews praising the new team for unusually competent service. One driver even mentioned that the attendants changed his tyre. Free of charge.

A diligent worker gets the job done, even when he is technically in the middle of a robbery. The photo is illustrative.
