A convenience store clerk’s choice to save his life have cost him his job.
Don Pitaniello, 58, said he was preparing to close Mac’s Convenience Store in Rutland, Vermont, on Sunday when a man wearing a hoodie and a bandanna covering his face walked into the store and demanded Pitaniello empty the register.
“I looked up when I heard the doorbell rang and saw the hoodie, the bandana and a bag in his hand,” Pitaniello told the ABC News.
“I knew his intentions as soon as he came in,” Pitaniello said.
