How did the Robbery go down?

Like this...

"Good Morning, Customers, and welcome to Dinchester's. If you need any assistance shopping with us today, please ask one of our Customer Service Team!" a chipper female voice cooed from the Store's tannoy system; founded in 1932, Dinchester's had been the City's largest Department Store for years, ruthlessly crushing all who stood in the way of the name Dinchester's. It was even rumoured that the Owners of Harrods, Selfridge's and Macey's cowered under the sheets like scared Children whenever they heard a whisper of the name Dinchester's.

The Store boasted a range of goods, from the latest electronics fresh off the production line to the finest of foods imported from all over the World, had over a hundred different Departments and on an average day, saw a rough total of one thousand four hundred and eighty one Customers passing in and out of its doors. Unfortunately for the Staff and Customers currently in the building, one of the one thousand two hundred and one Customers currently in the Store had no intention of paying for what they'd take from the Store that day.

Twenty One year old Deputy Ladies Apparel Manageress Lindsey Brewster turned to face a rather large offset Woman with a blonde bob and was just in the middle of saying "Good Morning, Madam, how may I help you?" when she suddenly cut off and became as still as one of the mannequins on her Department Floor! In addition to Lindsey freezing up, so did the large woman, who stood frozen in the middle of scratching her ear.

All across the Store, Customers and Staff were frozen in the middle of their actions; in the Bakery, a Manager checked his watch, in the Toy Department, a Mother froze in the middle of telling her Children to behave and down in the Packing Department, the Maintenance Staff and some Security Guards froze in the middle of a sneaky game of poker. On the Ground Floor, the Bandit emerged from a Gents Lavatory, the only place he knew there wouldn't be a camera and smiled at the motionless scene before him.

"Oh, dear, looks like I'm going to have to use Self Checkout in order to do my shopping today.." he said to a nearby couple of Chinese Women, frozen mid step and in the middle of laughing at some absolutely hysterical joke "But, hey, at least everything I want today is free.."

First?
