LOL!
I live about 1 mile from this store. I've shopped there occasionally. It's an upscale grocery store.
And yes, I have an alibi for last Saturday evening. LOL!
So...if you were in the store (either in line at the cash register or an employee) and someone walks in dressed as a ninja and demands cash, what would you do? Laugh it off - or turn over the money?
Comments or opinions - anyone?

Reminds me of the Woody Allen movie, from back when he was funny, where he tried to rob a bank and they refused to give him any money because he misspelled "gun" in his note.

Pull out a BFG and invite him to a gunfight?
LOL!
Dunno, never been in that situation. I'm guessing the full costume caused too much laughter for the clerk and customers to feel that threatened, so even if any of them were armed the guy's body language/voice weren't enough to compensate for the hilarity he caused.

Depends on how good I was at kenjutsu; Might make a demonstrative cut on something to get the idea across.
Or someone...
Personally, I think it WAS a prank...

Damn ninjas up to no good again. You guys need to get on top of this right away. My neighborhood used to be safe and respectable until we got over run by ninjas...

Perhaps he was not a Ninja but a Norwegian Jedi - Ole Wan Kenobi.

To make sure this doesn't happen again, the store has hired security guards:
