Question: I recently remembered a scene from a movie but can't quite place it. To give my racing mind some peace, would you please try to identify this movie?

So, some guy, about 18 to 25 years old, hangs around some kind of general store on a regular basis and becomes (or is) good friends with the store owner who maybe plays some kind of fatherly role. The boy's not really clever and somehow manages to need quite an amount of money. Maybe he owes the mob, I don't know. Anyway, he decides to rob the store he used to hang around in but the store owner (male? female?) instantly recognizes him and fights him off.

One thing I can remember is, that the store owner, while fighting the perp off, shouts something like "why are you so stupid? You stupid stupid boy!". They don't seem to be too angry about the attempted robbery itself but just disappointed in the guy and maybe the broken trust.

I believe it to be an English language movie, but it might be German, in which case I want to apologize.

Based on the roadmovie-ish feel I have about that movie I'd place it between 1995 and 2005 but don't pin me down for it. Also, note that this scene is by far not the main "thing" in that movie.

Answer: 
I think there was a scene like this in [White Men Can't Jump](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105812/). There were a lot of secondary basketball players in various scenes of that movie. One of them needed money to place a bet, so he put a stocking over his head (I think?) and ran into a store where the owner recognized him immediately, told him he knew him from when he was a kid, and kicked him out of the store.

Might be a totally different movie than what you're thinking of. But I thought I'd throw it out there.
Any chance that it was Thai and not German? I'm pretty sure there was a similar scene in Tony Jaa's [*The Protector (Tom yum goong)*](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427954/), in which someone attempts to rob a store while wearing a stocking over his head, but the shop owner berates him for being easily recognisable. Unfortunately I can't find any clips of it anywhere online...
