Student Asks Mugger If He Takes Venmo<\/insert><\/delete> <\/insert><\/delete>55th and Maryland \u2013 At approximately 8:47 PM, eyewitnesses told the Dealer <\/em>that student Todd Greenblatt was mugged on his way to his apartment. Greenblatt, apparently flustered and annoyed at the situation, asked the mugger if he would accept payment over Venmo.<\/insert><\/p>\n

<\/insert>\u201cIt was pretty intense,\u201d said Greenblatt, safely back at this apartment. \u201cThis dude came out of nowhere and started yelling at me to give him all my money. And, like, I had cash to give him, but if I gave him that I\u2019d have to hit the ATM which is honestly such a hassle. So I just asked him if he took Venmo.\u201d<\/insert> <\/insert><\/p>\n

The mugger reportedly responded, <\/delete>\u201cWhat the fuck is Venmo?\u201d rhe mugger reportedly r<\/delete>esponded<\/insert> the mugger, prompting Greenblatt to explain to him \u2013 amid copious eye-rolling \u2013 that Venmo is a popular payment app frequently used by students to transfer small amounts of money.<\/insert><\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, what the shit? How do you not have Venmo?\u201d continued Greenblatt. \u201cThis city is so behind the times; back home on Long Island, everybody <\/em>has Venmo. I tried to explain to him that I had a bunch of Venmo credit and that it would be way easier for me than giving him cash, but he just gave me this blank look. Ugh, it was the absolute worst.\u201d<\/insert><\/p>\n

Greenblatt then asked the mugger if he would accept a credit card, to no avail.<\/insert><\/p>\n

\u201cThat was honestly just rude. I mean, I get that some places don\u2019t take AmEx, but I use a damn Visa. Who doesn\u2019t take Visa? Like, come on guy, meet me halfway here. Are you fucking Amish or something?\u201d<\/insert><\/p>\n

<\/insert>The mugger then proceeded to beat the ever-loving shit out of Todd, reportedly taking his phone, wallet, watch, Patagonia pullover and $400 Supreme hat. UCPD are currently investigating the incident.<\/insert><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
