A West Haven, Conn., Dunkin' Donuts employee didn't take too kindly to an attempted robbery on Saturday evening. Rather than fork over the contents of her register, the young woman struck back, throwing hot coffee in the would-be crook's face and forcing him to bid a hasty retreat.

NBC Connecticut, citing police, reports that the incident began when the man pulled up to the drive-through and asked for change for his $100 bill. The employee, identified only as Angelica, refused. That's when things took a turn for the worse.

The driver attempted to climb into the restaurant via the drive-through window, police say. According to Angelica, who spoke with NBC Connecticut, he said he was committing a robbery. He "tried to get out of his car. That’s when I realized he was serious," she said. "I tried to close the window. He put his arm in it. He knew not to touch, because he knew there would be fingerprints."

Angelica, seeking a way to defend herself, saw the hot beverage she'd made him. "I looked at [it] quick, threw him the first one," she said. "Looked at the pots of coffee and threw the pot of coffee at him. That’s when he started running into his truck."

As the man took off, Angelica dropped an Arnold-esque action movie line: "Go run on Dunkin'," she said, mimicking her company's tagline.

The man drove off in a late-model white Ford Explorer, police say.

With a dry, cool wit like that, she could be an action hero.

That's better than what happened at the Dunkin in my old neighborhood....They found everyone in the fridge...shot dead. One employee escaped, and they found the 2 suspects later. Used to be a 24 hour Dunkin Donuts, used to have cops hanging out there. It's right in front of an Air Force base, but that was a bad night.

This sounds like a better story.

it was a G/A/F story.
The mishap took place near Brisbane, Australia. Fortunately nobody was hurt. When they saw where they were, the two alleged thieves, Peter Welsh and Dwayne Doolan, decided to hold up the customers. They left with about $2,700. But they didn't escape for long. Welsh and Doolan were arrested a short time later

That's a lot of money from holding up the people in line at KFC.
