Armed robbery; what would you do? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. AnakSuNamun (859)   ranked 201 out of 1,868 in employee1 year ago

Imagine you had a job as a cashier or any job that had anything to do with your employer's money and an armed man pointed his gun at you and demanded cash,what would you do? I used to think I would put up a fight and the very though of someone threatening me and telling me what to do used to enrage me. My attitude has changed now and I tend to think "Is it worth risking your life for a couple of hundred that are not even yours?"happy Besides,the employer would probably prefer you to give away the money so they don't have to support your grieving family... sad

Most employers will tell you that if you are faced with a robbery, armed or not, give them the money. It would depend on the situation as to how I would react. If I thought there was a legitimate chance of fighting the robber off, I would.

Yeah,they do tell you that but I have my doubts. Wouldn't it be nice to stomp your foot on the chest of the Big Bad Man?rolleyes

Te fact is that most employers will tell you in training to comply with any robbers demands and if they want the money just give it to them. The sad part about it is that too many cashiers have been try to be heroes the last few years, this causes a huge problem. The problem is that many robbers are now killing the clerks without even giving them the option to choose to comply.

I'll just give them what they want than putting your life in a bet. I'll just familiarize then the face of the robber and give the details to police..:)

I'll give the money right away with no questions asked. It's really not worth the risk. But if the robber starts to kill one by one then i'd put up a fight because i just won't let him shoot me like a target practice.

Makes sense but I often find myself alone in the building when I work in the afternoons so if anyone gets shot that would be mehappy I wonder if dying on camera would be a consolation... Naw,it's not worth it!

that depends on too many things,if it's not too risky to defend then I will try it but still I do not suggest we ascreficed for nothing. keep cool and have a clear mind is the most important thing when you are under such circumstances.
