But did they ask for his Dillon's card?

How does that work? Do you get 10 cents off your gas if you steal over $100? I've never understood Dillons cards. My wife has one, but I never see what good it does.

You can't get sale prices unless you use the card. They track what you purchase and if you go online to their site, they give you coupons, free items, etc... for things you purchase on a regular basis.

Can't even get a stick up right. Glad no one was hurt.

Dillons cards are great for tracking your every purchase and allowing Dillons to know what items they should never put on sale again because of high purchase volume. Also, it allows them to track how many times you come to the store and what stores you frequent the most. Also if you go to Dillons when you are out of town or visiting another area....
And all along you thought the Dillons card was something that was a tool for YOU to use.... shame shame tisk tisk.... wake up and get with the program people...

We consistently get coupons for things we buy often, and usually get a 20-30 cent per gallon discount on our gas. If they want to track what I buy, fine. I'm still the one deciding what I buy.

Well I hope you don't use a debit or credit card either. News flash, everyone is tracking you: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/16/how-target-figured-out-a-teen-girl-was-pregnant-before-her-father-did/

They should post the security video on failblog.

At least Dillon's has decent security cameras. Even late-model cheapos are getting decent images. It's shocking to see a bank hold-up video with really crappy image quality in this day and age. I can get an image of a deer at 10 yards on my trail cameras and you can count its eyebrows.

Riverdrifter, you're funny. Did you mean eye lashes instead of eye brows? Thanks for the laugh.
riverdrifter 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Eye lashes. Yes. Fifty lashes with a feather boa for me.

Not even close. This is the one Dillon's where cleaning staff is visible and working. It appears as if you are only trying to start an unfounded "uglyrumor" - shame on you.

ahem, uglyrumor, did you see the cleaning cart in the security pic of the would be robber? Just sayin'.
FlakBait 8 months, 2 weeks ago
That's not a cleaning cart; the bottles are hanging on the back of the computer the employees use to control the self-checkout.

Thats a good way to get shot in the face.. Nothin in Dillions is worth that.. I would have let him have at it as long as he let me leave.

Thug: This is a hold-up.
Clerk: No, it's not.
Thug: It's not?
Clerk: You should leave.
Thug: 'k, bye!

Another KU student is my guess. Tuition must have really gone up.

Doubtful, but you are correct tuition is a nightmare.
