What a way to die...
A 23-year-old Sri Lankan salesman working at a grocery shop in Bin Mahmoud was killed in an accident on Friday evening when he chased a customer who tried to flee the place without making payment. The incident took place around 9.45pm.
The victim, identified as Mohamed Murshed, was run over by the erring customer’s car when he reportedly tried to cling on to the vehicle’s side glass. The customer had ordered soft-drinks while still sitting in his vehicle.
Sources said that the youth was found dead on the road about 200 metres from the grocery.
Murshed died of severe head injuries. The motorist, reportedly driving a four wheel, sped away.
The shop owner said Murshed had been working for him for about two years. He said there had been several incidents of customers leaving without making payments for purchases.
In a similar incident a few months ago in Najma, a salesman was injured while chasing a motorist who failed to pay after making some purchases from a local grocery.

timebandit.. ...I don't know if its the same with this poor guy, but one store worker told me that the owner made them make up the shortfall if a customer didn't pay...
Whatever the reasons, our prayers are with him and his family.

Sorry to hear that. May his ...Sorry to hear that. May his soul RIP.
Have seen the grocery fellows struggle even with certain kids who pick up things and try to run away. The funniest was a woman who picked up a drink and after finishing it left it on the racks, but seems the boy in the shop saw her and then all the drama unfolded.

Inna Lillahi wa inna Illaihi Rajioon ...May Allah have mercy on him and grant him paradise. As senseless as his death may appear to many I can't but help admire his courage to try fight a wrongdoing no matter how small. He obviously didn't think it would kill him though, which is sad. And I hope the killer is found and put behind bars.

Although I appreciate his ...Although I appreciate his efforts to get that money from him but clinging to the vehicle which was already in motion was not a good decision.
And the motorist fled away even after knowing that he had run over that poor guy. Didn't he have a heart. Didn't anyone bother to note down the car plate number?

Stop Serving to cars. ...I remember one grocery which insisted anyone honking that they do not serve to the cars.
best of all.. most of them honk just for a can of soda or a cup of tea. The shokeepers do not make anything from this kind of customers.
