NBC affiliate KSDK of St. Louis reported that Michael Harris, 20, was working a drive-thru shift last month when, he said, two men entered the store and began frisking customers.
When the two men demanded cash from the register, Harris said, he tried to open it. At that point, one of the robbers hit him on the head with a gun.
“I thought I was gonna die that day. … They walked in, announced that it was a robbery,” Harris recalled, according to the station.
He said he felt emboldened to stand his ground when he realized the gun was fake, the station reported, noticing that the trigger had fallen off.
