I saw that . Sometimes you just got to ignore people to get them to go away . The one thing I would have done , was ask him to get me a beer while he was back there .
I think he actually told him who the bartender was and to just take the damn money from the register and leave the customers alone. Quick thinking... I am not sure the robber was an entry level thug as he seem quite cool, cool enough to realize the smoker might overreact if he was pushed so he left him alone - notice he didn't try rob him and he was sitting right next to the guy that got robbed. Really funny...now since it is Saturday, I am for a drink myself.
