Mine is bigger than yours!
A deli employee in Argentina put a knife-wielding bandit to flight Thursday after showing an even larger sword to the would-be thief.
Surveillance video showed the suspect approaching the counter of a deli and pulling out a knife in the northern Patagonian town of Cipolletti.
He is seen showing the blade and walking around the corner of the counter before stepping back and putting the knife in his pants.
A bandit displays a kitchen knife while attempting to rob a delicatessen in Cipolletti, Argentina and then decided against it when he was confronted by a female worker holding a larger knife on Thursday.
The young Argentine smiled as she held the butcher knife with which she prevented a suspect with a knife from assaulting El Estribo, a delicatessen located in the city of Cipolletti, in northern Patagonia.
The suspect then headed straight for the exit when, as the video showed, the satisfied employee came out waving a much larger knife with a smile on her face.
Social media users immediately fell in love with the employee after the video went viral.
One even approached the deli in hopes of connecting with the worker on social media to set up a potential date after falling in love with her “psychotic smile.”
The suspect stared at deli workers while holding a knife in the botched robbery attempt.
The taunted suspect was seen placing his small knife in his waistband moments after a deli worker confronted him with a butcher knife.
Some social media users fell in love with the young woman who prevented the store where she works from being robbed by confronting a knife-wielding suspect with a butcher knife.
Another user posted a still image of the smiling employee and commented: “I’m going to call my mom and tell her I fell in love.”
Others asked the store management to compensate the employee for stopping the crime.
“I think that girl deserves a raise, or at least a bonus,” one person said.
Police sources said the deli did not file a report of the incident.
The suspect was still at large as of Friday morning.
