Did he get the cash or did the clerk say “fork you!”

Sounds like it may have been one of those long bar-b-q forks - they’re pretty sharp

I understand the robber employed a two-pronged strategy.

This reminded me of the time that someone used a bow and arrow to rob the Open Pantry in Brookline.

That'd be my guess as well.

I've been to this gas station before, conveniently located at the junction of Highway 22 and PA-66. Which, I suppose, also makes it convenient for a quick getaway.

What the doofus probably doesn't know is that Sunoco stations, almost all of them, have hidden security cameras. So he will likely star on this evening's news. If the cops don't find him first.

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

This is where they “improved” the cloverleaf intersection by adding red lights, right?

Yeah. I sometimes joke to my wife when we drive through it that it should be renamed “Fuster Cluck”.
