On May 1, a customer entered a Pompano Beach Subway looking nervous. He paced back and forth across the eatery's lobby before asking employee Joaquin Zapata to ring him up for a soda and chips. Apparently changing his mind at the register, he then inquired instead about the price of a sweeter side dish. Now police are looking for a man who thought the price of cookies was too damned high.

The cashier says the robbery suspect complained about the cookies' cost just before jumping over the counter, grabbing cash, and bolting out the door. Although the Sun Sentinel is reporting the cookies' cost as a possible motive, it seems much more likely that the price inquiry was just a ruse and that the crime was planned long before the suspect walked in.
