12/28/2010 St. Paul - Man Fires Shots, Robs Taco Bell

Postby ElectricalEngineer on Fri Jan 07, 2011 3:10 am

Situation: It's 9:30PM. You're in Taco Bell (1400 block of White Bear Ave.). A guy comes in and robs the TB. In the process he fires off three rounds.

What, if anything, would you do?

=================
It is highly likely that someone will say, "I'd change my shorts." Therefore, I'll just get that one out of the way.

Discussion?

Not enough information to make a good call, so I'll have to just go with "change my shorts". :P :lol:

May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

Well, under those circumstances I'm probably drunk out of my gourd, so odds are I'm not carrying. I'd probably giggle.

You lost me with this scenario. The odds of me eating taco bell, let alone going into the store, are almost non-existent.
It turns out that what you have is less important than what you do with it.

@930 in a Taco Bell? I can't think of any other way I would have ended up there.

It would appear I'm not the only one who detests Taco Hell.

Ugh. You couldn't pay me enough to eat there.

I forgot about the various downsides of eating at Taco Bell. Thanks for rebooting my memory.

It seems that I should instigate a drift and talk about fast food and what are the establishments of choice. I suspect that few of those who frequent this site choose a fast food location based upon their selection of salad combinations. It appears the OCB is a favorite (e.g. 2nd Saturday Breakfast.)

Best salad bar in the state is at Fogo de Chao. Strange, ain't it?
