Fortunately, no one was injured.  

Also, this is not the first time a car has crashed into their store.

Wreckless for Xbox on the floor, fitting.

I thought it was going to be that this location had two crashes, in which case I would say that they need some bollards put up. But no, they had a car take out their store in a completely different location.

Wouldn't stand next to that owner in a thunderstorm.

Dang. 

I thought this was going to be some sort of "a guy walks into a bar" type of joke. 

Nope. True story. Bad luck on the owners part, sheesh.

And what's with the person BACKING through the building like that? Like... you really gotta ram on the gas, shit. Squealed his tires and everything I guess.

Well in some parts of the US you have drive-thru liquor stores, maybe after enough hits they'll do drive thru gaming.  Maybe they mistook the store as a dkoldies affiliate.

So, not a robbery?  I was just in a thrift last week that had one entry area boarded up. Cashier told me someone had driven thru the storefront one recent night and robbed the place.  Hard to believe you could steal enough worthwhile stuff at a thrift to pay for the car damage, but maybe it was a POS car.

Any car that is used as a battering ram during a robbery is stolen.
