Weed bar makes more sense. So maybe we can differentiate between the indica and sativa fans in this video.

CowgirlsFan Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 I was a bank teller for 38 years. We were told to be calm and follow instructions. In 2003 I was robbed and the only thing I failed was guessing his age. In a public place, I hope I would be calm and follow instructions. 1

I was caught between laughing about the guys "calm" demeanor and realizing that the situation was not in the least bit humorous.
The Dean Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Did I forget to mention I was in Mound City recently? 1
Marv's Neighbor Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 I'd be asking the bartender what that guy was drinking, then order myself a double. 1

Being the time it was , all my cash had been left at the registers at the all night i had just left. Made me drive to ATM, but had already reached my limit for the day. Dude was just freaking incredulous i had no access to cash Thought I was dead for sure, or he was going to take the car.at least..but we was so confused he just got out of the car muttering to himself..and I got the hell out of there like a bat of hell. Thing i remember is I kept putting my hands up reflexively, and I was scared as hell i was gunna die. 1 2

SinceThe70s Posted August 31, 2019 Author Posted August 31, 2019 Follow up today, the guy says he'd do it again. https://nypost.com/2019/08/31/man-who-finished-cigarette-during-bar-stick-up-says-hed-do-it-again/
The Dean Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Great video. I see no ashtrays on the bar. I assume they were vaping. While I can't be sure of how I would react in this particular case, the gunman was of no particular threat to the guy just sitting at the bar. He was far more forceful with the guy on the floor next to him. Now, I've had a gun pointed at my head at least twice. (I only remember two instances. Would I forget having a gun pointed at me?) According to one guy (who became my friend, drug dealer after the incident) claimed I laughed at him. I'm sure it was a nervous, "how do I deflate the air in this situation?" kind of thing, but I acted calm. Inside I was a bit of a wreck. But I didn't believe he was actually going to shoot me. The second time was a bit less intense with a guy threatening everyone, but didn't seem to have much conviction. I more or less did what this guy did, and just tried to keep things calm. The reason I say I'm not sure what I'd do in this situation is, I can't hear the guy's voice or know exactly what was going on. I suspect I might just sit on the floor to avoid the personal attention. But sitting at the bar worked for this guy. With all that said, if the guy pointed a gun at me and demanded my wallet, I'd just give it to him. Money isn't that important.
HopsGuy Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 A guy I worked with (West Point grad) got carjacked in Miami in the 90s. The guy was pointing the gun at him and told him to drive to an ATM. He put the pistol down in his lap to reach for something. My buddy took his chance, grabbed the weapon & shot the guy in the head, killing him. He’s a lawyer now. ? 3
frostbitmic Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 You instinctively do what he tells you to do. I was ordered to the floor during an armed robbery and on my way to the ground I hit the silent alarm. As I was on the ground he stuck the gun to the back of my head. The police showed up two minutes after he was gone.
RaoulDuke79 Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 After reading through this thread I'm just counting my blessings that I've never been robbed.
LSHMEAB Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Got robbed at gunpoint for my car in downtown Baltimore in 2002. I was DRUNK and not really phased. My friend had to convince me to give him the keys. He snatched a 100 dollar chain and that's all he got. Turns out he couldn't drive a stick. Watched him sputter and then just give up. Nice enough to leave the keys in the ignition. So I went into the club and basically forgot about it. It's weird. I have EXTREME anxiety disorder so internally, I'm pretty much in panic mode 24/7. There's not many external events that are going to affect me the same way they affect a "normal" person. I'd honestly be likely to react exactly as this guy did.
