Cashiers win confrontations with would-be robber
Man goes into two Irvine stores and demands clerks put cash in envelope.

The Orange County Register
IRVINE ? Police are looking for a man who tried unsuccessfully to rob two markets on New Year's Eve.
The robber was described as a thin white man in his 40s, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, wearing a multi-colored Raiders cap, a green jacket and blue jeans.
At 6 p.m. Dec. 31, the man went into the Ralph's supermarket on Culver Drive at Walnut Avenue and demanded that the cashier put money in a manila envelope he was carrying, Irvine police said. The cashier refused and the man ran off down Walnut without any money.
Around 15 minutes later, the man walked into a 99 Ranch Market a few blocks away on Walnut and tried the same thing. He was again refused and ran off.
Police believe the same man may have tried again in Orange around 8 p.m.
Anyone with information about the robbery attempts may call Det. Wayne Brannon at 949-279-8671.
