No Joke. It’s a Robbery!

Here's an interesting situation. A robber walks into a store, waves a gun around, and tells the cashier to give him all the money in the register. The cashier takes one look at the gun, thinks it's plastic, and assumes the guy is joking. So she tells him to get lost. Frustrated, the would-be robber runs out of the store. But authorities now believe the robbery attempt was real, which makes the woman quite lucky. But there's still the possibility that the gun actually was a fake. After all, if the guy really did have a loaded gun, why didn't he fire a warning shot to let the cashier know he was serious?

Recently I was forced to read a short story in English class about a simmilar incident. It was called 'coffee, snacks, worms' and it was about a young canadian girl who is watching over her parent's general store when a guy comes in and tries to rob her, saying that he has a knife. She doubts it and they get to talking aftr she makes him a sandwich. When he is leaving he throws a knive into the trash, proving that he had one all along. It was a horrible story, but it's simmilar to this, isn't it?

I think the story is totally boring and that the story has not interested in it. It doesnt even make sense half of it. Like wow she day dreams alot. But i assume the story is not that similar in ways.
