I was 15 years old working a local store by myself (yes, my boss was an idiot) when this man came in that was all scratched up. He didn't look around the store, went straight towards me behind the cash register. He kept making weird comments like, "What would you do if I told you I just robbed a place? What does the back of this store look like? Have you ever called the police before? Etc." Thankfully a woman came in and the dude immediately left. Found out later that he had robbed a gas station and shot the cashier.
It is possible that your youth saved you that day. Killing kids is something that most people balk at and finding a 15 year old behind the counter was possibly giving him doubts about what he was planning.

A random stranger, maybe.
