"Ah yes, let's fucking ROB a KITCHEN with a POCKET KNIFE, when my would-be victims are surrounded by knives of all shapes and sizes, pans heavy enough to crack someone's skull, cleavers that could take my limbs off in one swing, literal BOILING LIQUIDS in HUGE pots, and they're also SERVICE WORKERS who are probably homicidal from the bullshit customers pull in a regular day's work and are just looking for an excuse to kill someone legally. Surely I won't get done like Julius Caesar."
The meat slicer says "We're gonna take our time."
I think if it was one of those commercial meat bone saw machines the would-be assailant would probably need a new pair of pants. Even moreso with a death stare accompanying it that says "You do not wanna know what I am going to do with this if you don't get the fuck out right now."
Desperation makes people irrational.
Bet that rationality came back pretty quickly once he saw someone turning on the meat slicer while staring into his soul 😂
I would have also made a quip about having an impromptu brisque.
Never risk your life or health for a job. Ever.
If someone comes in with a pointy toothpick and says gimme the money from the register, then you should give them the money from the register
I mean, yeah, sure, but those are service workers. If you know anything about that kinda stuff is that most of those people (and anyone who deals with customers face to face in a daily basis) are repressing YEARS of near-homicidal rage and are just itching to take it out on someone. And who deserves it more than some dude waltzing into a restaurant with an inadequate weapon and threatening the lives of workers who have enough weapons around them to recreate Caesar's assassination?
Like, I don't think it's about the job, it's more about the fact they're trying someone on the verge of snapping!
Sometimes refusing to fight back is risking your life. The situation varies wildly case by case, we can't make blanket statements.
If I were manning the register at a convenience store? Fuck it, take it all, vas con dios. In a case like this? I'm grabbing whatever makeshift weapon is at hand.
Can't articulate it, but in the latter case I'd feel more cornered, fewer options?
Agreed.
Not every nutcase is running on get-money-get-out logic.
Some people are just looking for a bad time and have decided they're going to make it your problem.
I mean, technically, you have WAY more options... on how to hurt the would-be robber 😂
i feel like that depends on the vibes, if the robber is giving "my first robbery" vibes then a bigger toothpick it is. if they aren't then give them the money
i'm saying this because it sounds like a lot of work having to then explain everything to your boss, police, friends who want to know etc
Dont threaten workers who spend a not small portion of their day fantasizing about murdering their patrons.
Aside from the fact that they have many, many painful ways to make it happen, its just kind of a douche maneuver.
Sounds like a perfect group to run some D&D with. 🤓🤘🏼
Don't forget all the cleaning chemicals at their disposal.
