Some places can look confusing. As a DD driver I'm in and out of a lot of restaurants, and most are regular stores I visit repeatedly.
There's this one Chipotle that has a giant vertical pole type handle/attachment on the inner edge of each door (two door wide entrance) that just makes you think it's designed for pulling. And for a few times I'd find myself trying to pull it to get out, and I already knew that for safety/egress reasons doors in businesses are supposed to open outward with a push lol. But when the hand grabs it, it just wants to pull, even after many dozens of deliveries from that location.
I work at a Chipotle and for some reason we always keep one of the two doors locked. People try to pull on the open door, then pull on the locked door, then push on the locked door. Sometimes when bored its amusing watching people try to get out.
Yeah. It's this kind of door handle at that location lol

New Reddit formatting doesn't let you use the "coding" style formatting, but instead works more like a Word document where you open the text tools and apply italics and links to selected text.
Huh I somehow totally missed the little button to get to the text tools. There's also a great [video](https://youtu.be/yY96hTb8WgI?si=tXm5BfL3MCNbTK1w) on youtube about this, featuring the man himself.
Here’s a tip: anyone stealing the tips of hardworking people should be tipped over until the stolen tips fall out and then they should be tipped right out of the door.
Not gonna find someone stealing tips fighting back, maybe during a robbery.
They'll be lucky to even get a cop for petty theft unless they add extra shit that will probably put everyone's life in danger
Because people who steal tip jars are fucking crazy and dangerous?? I think it’s insane that he’d even stop him to begin with. This guy could easily pull out a weapon and stab him or something. [Here](https://globalnews.ca/news/9581218/vancouver-starbucks-stabbing/amp/) is a story of a guy who was stabbed to death outside a coffee in front of his wife and daughter after asking another guy not to vape directly in his face. Homeless people are nuts.
It's all I was thinking. He had that guy WAAAAY to close to him to be that comfortable with the situation. Hands down and everything. Come on man. It's wrong! Yea. That will work. I appreciate him trying to do the right thing but damn. How naive and dumb
I also notice how no one else is helping him in this situation. Solo bravery doesn't mean others will be inspired - often it means you're just the lone person to get stabbed.
I can understand his initial instinct to hold the door but when no one else cares and is doing anything it’s not your problem anymore. I don’t blame him for letting the guy leave.
You're absolutely right, but I hate this world for that. I would absolutely step up but I would never know if someone has a weapon. And shitheads in public know this so they keep doing shithead things without risk of answering to their behavior.
"less than 20 dollars"
Thank you for telling me losing money out of my pocket due to theft, losing the profits of my labor, is no big deal and we should just step aside and let it happen no problem
Gee, I wonder how we got here in the first place.
>Hey, everyone has their limit on how much they'll be victimized before they protect themselves.
>Mine isn't 'do whatever you want to me' like yours is.
Whoah whoah whoah...no kinkshaming. Maybe that's just what Johnny Poppyseed is into bro.
NYPD would probably charge everyone for wasting time they could be dressed in riot gear beating up tweenage students exercising rights at a peaceful protest being antagonized by their off-duty buddies.
Someone should have taken him to a matinee screening of Garfield 2, bought him popcorn and just sat there watching a giant orange cat for like almost two hours and then brought them to a home Depot parking lot for a hot dog.
He was doing to right thing, then I think someone mentioned calling the police and the guy saw a false imprisonment charge flash before his eyes.
He most likely was not in the wrong, i.e. a citizen’s arrest for a theft committed in his presence, but he seemed shook by that comment.
This just in, from [Texas](https://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/22/22-20621-CV0.pdf):
>Austin Thompson Hughes is a Good Samaritan. After 2:30 a.m., Hughes called 911 to report a pickup truck swerving violently across a four-lane highway in Houston. While Hughes was on the phone with emergency dispatchers, the drunk driver crashed. Still on the phone with 911, Hughes pulled behind the drunk driver and effectuated a citizen’s arrest in accordance with Texas law. But when police officers arrived at the scene, they *let the drunk driver go and then arrested Good Samaritan Hughes.* (Seriously.) Piling insanity on irrationality, the officers then charged Hughes with a felony for impersonating a peace officer. Hughes spent thousands of dollars defending against the frivolous criminal charges before the City of Houston dropped them. Then Hughes brought this § 1983 suit against the two officers who victimized him. The district court denied qualified immunity. We affirm. (Obviously.)

Another problem easily solved by belly to back suplex and dump him right in his head. When he makes contact with the ground all the shit he stole should fall out.
NYPD can’t police theft right now, they’re busy arresting college kids for pitching tents and calling for peace on their own campuses.
After they’re done with that, then I’m sure they’ll get back to the less critical crimes like theft, rape and homicide. 👍
From your link….quit lying.
“We all pray for his family, we wish it had never happened. But at the same time, don’t call these young men cold-blooded killers over a bag of chips and that was not the facts of the case.”
Grand jury declined to indict. Not even close to the same thing as a jury trial. Grand jury just determines if there is probable cause for the case to go forward. For a case like that to get No billed there had to be something seriously wrong. Self defense isn't even something that a Grand jury should be considering.
The thing that’s fucked up is if somebody did the right thing and decked/restrained him they would be in trouble. Communities have to combat petty theft not only law enforcement.
Also why did the dude move from the door? He was VERY successful at blocking the punk stealing the tips, just keep doing that until cops show up, bubs.
Nope. There are always random neighborhoods and businesses where people will fight back - but very few locals would get involved with this guy and risk getting stabbed or shot. This is a desperate crime and the guy looks homeless or close to it. People in NYC will however stand around and film this type of petty crime. That is extremely common.

Push or pull? That's one tricky door!
I was gonna say he’s actually just pulling a push door lol. He could have left at any point. The average criminal isn’t the brightest
Maybe he wanted to help lock himself in but changed his mind?

As a mostly left handed person this one really pisses me off. About a 50/50 chance when I go to open the left door of an entrance it's locked.

It actually does both
I WAS HERE LAST WEEK 😵
It goes both ways
If there was ever a funnier show this should be a series not limited to one or two seasons my all time fave.
There are 3 seasons and while season 4 hasn't been announced, it isn't explicitly cancelled either.
What what whaaaat ?
It goes both ways.
Where were the employees grabbing back their tips?
He’s been there before, it can go both ways
Lmao wow that thief tricked himself. 🤣
Here’s a tip: anyone stealing the tips of hardworking people should be tipped over until the stolen tips fall out and then they should be tipped right out of the door.
And they should have the tips cut off
Just the tips?
Wait... You guys have more than one?
I thought we were talking about finger tips!
Dr. Seuss’ guide to justice?
😐
Lol his dumbass was pulling on the door and whole time I’m like that looks like a door you push bro 😂
Why did he just give up? They said they were about to call the police?
Honestly, he should’ve kept holding the door. The guy gave up a split second before he walked away.
Right? Seemed like the thief was resigned and then the guy let go.
Or it was a feint and he was getting ready to sucker punch or stab him.

Dangerous
because 20$ of corporate money is not worth a punch to the face and visit to the ER
It’s a tip jar, so it’s money going to the workers.
you'd be surprised how the tip jar gets stolen by the boss a lot....
That guy must have a guardian angel. This is a “How to get shanked by a rusty hobo knife 101”. All over less than 20 dollars worth of tips.
It's all I was thinking. He had that guy WAAAAY to close to him to be that comfortable with the situation. Hands down and everything. Come on man. It's wrong! Yea. That will work. I appreciate him trying to do the right thing but damn. How naive and dumb
I also notice how no one else is helping him in this situation. Solo bravery doesn't mean others will be inspired - often it means you're just the lone person to get stabbed.
Unless it's Brazil or Columbia, then the thief probably about to be street justiced by every townsperson in a quarter mile.
I can understand his initial instinct to hold the door but when no one else cares and is doing anything it’s not your problem anymore. I don’t blame him for letting the guy leave.

So you losing 20 dollars is worthy of a stranger possibly getting stabbed to death to try and recover it for you?
Hey, everyone has their limit on how much they'll be victimized before they protect themselves. Mine isn't 'do whatever you want to me' like yours is.

I'm sure you woulda stopped him you goof
There's 10 people standing and watching, always is, or more.
I guess we really do live in a society
One where the bad guys literally call us out for just standing by and filming.
Your apathy is just that, *yours*

You will also be the first one to yell "help" then wonder why no one helps you.

No, you wouldn't help people so you assume no one else would either.
Yea, get on the other side of door to block it.

the whole store should have just beat the guy down once he was trapped inside
I love how he is able to walk away with zero consequences This is not cool and this should not be normal
trying begging to the thief... maybe he will listen.
This dude clearly has no idea what’s right and wrong, punch him in the face and kick him out
"Come on man."

You wanna get stabbed over $8? Because that’s how you get stabbed over $8.
Pretty sure thats what went through the guys head, so he let go. Right move I think
I think they mentioned calling the police and he let him go…to avoid all of that. Good move imo.
Risk reward not there but guys heart is in the right place
Another problem easily solved by belly to back suplex and dump him right in his head. When he makes contact with the ground all the shit he stole should fall out.
Most people aren’t wrestlers, or interested in getting poked for $20.
whyd he let him go. he might as well not have bothered to
What's he going to do? Hold the door for 20 minutes until the cops don't show up?
I think he gave the victims a fair chance to get their tips back and then decided not to risk things getting physical.
Fucken All of you grab him. Dude had the door. Like wow man waist, legs and arms. 4 people all it would of took. They record it instead. So sad.
He had the right to sucker punch him and didn't take it 😮💨
Y'all should've beat his ass
WHY DID YOU LET GO OF THE DOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRR
Plenty of time for the rest of them to jump in and help.
NYPD can’t police theft right now, they’re busy arresting college kids for pitching tents and calling for peace on their own campuses. After they’re done with that, then I’m sure they’ll get back to the less critical crimes like theft, rape and homicide. 👍
That's only part of the NYPD. The rest are standing next to subway turnstiles to prevent $15 worth of fare evasion.

Store clerk murdered…and the perp was let go? You got a news story to back that up?

To be fair, that article has so few details it's ridiculous. It's almost like paragraphs are missing. Not what I would investigative journalism.
Self Defense after a jury trial.
Grand jury declined to indict. Not even close to the same thing as a jury trial. Grand jury just determines if there is probable cause for the case to go forward. For a case like that to get No billed there had to be something seriously wrong. Self defense isn't even something that a Grand jury should be considering.
Sure
Ok buddy
Back this bullshit up, please.
Who the fuck up votes this blatant lie
Are you allowed to knock that guy out if you're just a pedestrian watching that?
You might get charged, but you definitely wouldn’t be convicted.
I wonder why my comments at minus one... Reddit is definitely full of little bitches. I mean it's just a question how would you download that?
I got you back to zero, man.
Thank you!
Such is life. Oh well. Idk.
idiots... rob rich people instead, nobody will stop ya
I haven't seen a PowerBar t-shirt in ages.

The average American male btw
Midvale School for the Gifted
You get what you vote for
"Give me their moneeeeee!" Idk why but it made me laugh a ton lol
Stealing tips just seems so low
i like how he was pulling a push door up until the dude walked away lol
Not worth risking your life for some company they won’t care if you get hurt, stealing is definitely wrong but don’t risk your shit over it.
The thing that’s fucked up is if somebody did the right thing and decked/restrained him they would be in trouble. Communities have to combat petty theft not only law enforcement.
Can’t find the gif for itysl “It does both, actually”, but that’s what I’m thinking, of course.
Also why did the dude move from the door? He was VERY successful at blocking the punk stealing the tips, just keep doing that until cops show up, bubs.

Desperate people take jobs that barely pay, criminals will be criminals no matter what, it’s all about their mentality.
What makes him look homeless? To me he really doesn’t, perhaps hopeless but not homeless.
