Picture: Daily News

 

A plucky and quick thinking 18 year old sales lady in a 7-Eleven in north eastern Thailand thwarted a would be robber at her store.

 

Chairat, 27, had pulled out a box cutter and told "Kae" (an assumed name) to empty the till.

 

Kae who was behind the counter was shocked but maintained her composure and engaged the robber in conversation to stall for time. 

 

Meanwhile a colleague at the store in Pho sub-district of Muang Kalasin called the police. 

 

A patrol happened to be passing and they soon had the suspect in custody before he got a single baht. 

 

He said that he had lost his job due to the Covid-19 crisis and needed money.

Let's see...box cutter  check

 

Mask  check

 

Plan  oops

 

Note to self... no idle chit chat during the next robbery!

I give her pointing skill an 8/10, it lacks "heart". Almost seems that she was forced to stick out her finger and point at the robber.

but the finger is still there nonetheless.  It's still official even if half-hearted

So he threatens a young girl with a razor 

 

That’s the sad part.

Maybe if she had not been so cute, he would not have dallied.

How in gods name does the local constable find his gun with all that paraphernalia hanging from his torso!
