Florida Gas Station Clerk Tells Suspect 'You Won't Get Far' During Robbery

Surveillance video captured a Florida gas station worker keeping her cool during an armed robbery this past weekend, NBC Miami reported. On Saturday (October 10) around 11 p.m., an unknown robber entered a Shell gas station in Valrico, which is east of Tampa. In the video, the clerk told the suspect she didn't have access to open the register. That's when the robber pulled out a gun and pointed it at her.

He fired a warning shot at a store shelf and said, "Now open it... the next one is for you." It appears the clerk knocked the robber's armed hand away before she eventually opened the register. The robber took the money and fled the scene. "You won't get far," she told the robber in the video. NBC Miami said she was unhurt during the incident, and authorities have not released information on the suspect.

Last month, a robber allegedly handed a cashier a note saying, "I have a gun, please follow orders," at a Miami Gardens Walgreens. A Miami-Dade judge said, "At least he's polite," and the court found no evidence of a gun on the man at the time of the robbery.
