Cameras caught a man stealing from the tip jar at a cigar bar in Gulf Coast Town Center just after midnight Tuesday night. The director of operations said the man swiped 60 bucks.
“To reach in there and pull that out, you're taking from him, and of course, you're disappointing all of us. So, disappointment, irritation, anger, all those things are there,” said Kevin Robbins, the Director of Operations at Cigar Bar.
Robbins said the man claimed to not speak English, so the worker went to get a customer who spoke Spanish and could help translate, but while he was gone, the man reached in the jar and grabbed the cash.
“He felt that some money had been taken from his tip jar, larger bills that he knew were in there, and then he came up and found out they weren't,” said Robbins.
