    This guy was neither staying warm, nor safe. Absolute disregard for the Apex quickstop mantra.

    I can’t imagine what the clerk or employees where going through. I hope someone recognizes his body figure and hope he gets caught!

      You are as bad a thief as the guy in the article. Think up your own name instead of stealing mine.

    I hope the guy gets caught and does time. A lot of young kids work at this store, and as a parent, I would not be a very happy camper knowing that my child was threatened at knife point. Catch this idiot.
