Manager Christopher Grinnell told Click2Houston: ‘The staff has taken to calling them the inchworm bandits.
‘They’re inch-worming their way across my dining room floor, all the way to the kitchen.
Grinnell said they finally decided to stand up once they made it to the back of the kitchen.
‘It looks like they kicked the steel door open. I have no idea how they had that much strength. You can see when they’re kicking it, it is rattling the entire room’.
After finally getting inside, the three managed to steal $450 that servers had made during shifts worked on Friday and Saturday night.
Head chef Kelsey Alkire said staff were upset about the theft as the money belonged to them.

She said: ‘That’s ‘going to the store and buying groceries’ money, you know.
‘That’s finding the perfect little gift for your friend’ money, and it’s just not fair’.
Managers said the suspects caused about $2,000 worth of damage and it is the third time the restaurant has been broken into.
Managers said the last time, crooks used a sledgehammer and a crowbar and walked out with about five bottles of Patron tequila.
Police are investigating whether the thieves are the same people caught on camera carrying out a similar crime at a Mister Gattis Pizza off Uvalde Road last week.
