Man Attempts To Rob Nail Salon, Patrons & Staff Ignore Him
For many, going to a nail salon is a way to decompress and pamper oneself. But what if a random man suddenly barges in, demanding money halfway through your manicure?
Well, this attempted robbery actually happened in a nail salon in the United States.
The customers and staff of the store were unbothered when the man yelled at them to give him money.
When no one complied, the man had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.
Nobody reacted to man who attempted to rob a nail salon
According to a post on the Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta Facebook page, the incident took place on Monday (3 July). It happened at a nail salon called Nail1st, in the city of Atlanta in Georgia, United States.
In the surveillance footage accompanying the post, women are chatting and laughing at the nail salon when a man barged into the shop.

He wore a blue hat, sunglasses, a black T-shirt, and blue jeans.
The man then demanded the people in the shop to “get down and give me your money”. However, no one budged.
They just stared at the man while he continued yelling for them to get on the ground and surrender their cash. Hilariously, a man who appeared to be the shopkeeper even answered a call on their landline while all that was going down.

One of the women stood up and backed out of the store while giving the wannabe robber a dirty look.
He even got close to a woman in an orange top, shouting, “Where’s my money?” but she just looked away.

If he had a tail, it probably would have been between his legs at this point.
