Work for the Crime... Great Story

It seems like something straight out of a Simpsons script, but it really happened.

In Monroe, Washington, yesterday, armed bandits broke into a Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) coffee shop and forced employees to open the safe. The contents apparently weren't enough to buy more than a few cups of Mocha Coconut Frappuccino, however, so the thieves immediately began thinking of ways to increase their loot.

And, thus, for the next 30 minutes, they served coffee, lattes, and cappuccinos to drive-thru customers. After collecting enough cash (and a half-hour was plenty with the price of Starbucks products), the thieves calmly got in their vehicle and drove away... and haven't been heard from since.

We wonder how many customers received correct change.
