A man walks into a convenience store and selects an item, goes to the counter to pay for it, and ends up with in the middle of a robbery.
At first blush, you probably think that the poor clerk is the one being robbed, but, in fact, it is the clerk, while at his post, behind the counter who is robbing another patron!
During this unsuccessful attempt to rob his customer, and forgetting that he is locked in, behind the counter, a policeman walks in and stops the robbery in progress.
When the police interview the suspect, he advises that the customer "had alot of money in his money clip so I thought that it would be easy pickin's",but that he "forgot he was at work" (!).
Who is suing?...the patron who walked up to the counter during the robbery.
He is suing the owner of the convenience store for providing an unsafe work/public place, since the patron was "considering filling out an application for employment".
