Clerk Gives Robber Money for Insulin

I think we all want to believe that when someone robs a store they do because they desperately need the money. One such robbery attempt was just that. A man entered the E-Z Mart in Connecticut and told the clerk to open the register. He lifted his shirt to show the man he had a gun.
The robber apparently told the man that he hated to do this (the robbery) but he needed $40 for insulin.

A convenience store clerk wouldn’t open the register for a robber but gave the man $40 from his own pocket after the robber told him he needed the money for insulin. The clerk gave him $40 out of his own pocket. Police are trying to find the robber.
