Robbery

 It’s your first graveyard shift at the supermarket.  You just started working one week ago and so far everything is going pretty smooth.  Your boss was supposed to stay with you but earlier he got an emergency call about his son.  He put you in charge of the store while he hurried home.  That happened two hours ago and in those two hours only one customer showed up.  You’re killing time reading a magazine.  But then the door opens.  You look up to see a man whose face is concealed by a mask, a gun in his hand.  Before you can react, he shoots you.  You fall to the floor in pain.  Luckily your shoulder took the bullet.  But you realize the man is still here.

As you get back up with great difficulty clutching your bleeding shoulder, the robber points the gun at you and says,  “Open the register and give me the money or else I won’t miss the second shot.”

Judging from his actions, the robber will not hesitate to shoot you.  Stalling will not work.  You open the register as he raids the store, still pointing the gun at you.

Unfortunately as you give him the money he notices the safe behind you and yells,  “Open the fucking safe, NOW!”

But there’s a problem.  You don’t know the combination to the safe.  It’s your boss’ safe and he trusts no one with the combination.  You realize this situation has turned a bad direction.  He already shot you, so telling him the truth will most likely result in him killing you.  He’s fidgeting, so he’s not willing to wait around.  Faking opening the safe will most likely not work.  There is a bat under the counter but he’s got a gun.  You have to decide what to do.

Make the choice

A. Tell the truth

B. Try to open the safe to buy time

C. Fight the robber

D.  Try to flee the store.

Make your vote.  I will post the result a week from today.
