My son works in a Tom Thumb in Florida...

...and has been robbed twice and once (the almost third time) he did just what you did mostly because he didn't believe the guy. Apparently they exchanged some salty language and the guy left to try to rob some other place and got stuck in the drive through window at a Burger King about 1/2 mile south of the son's place of work. I take it that this sort of thing happens more often than anyone knows. Any resistance results in a rapid exit by the criminal. It might be early in their career, but this seems to happen often enough that I think you'll probably have it happen again before you win the lottery.
