Re: Taco Bell employees pull guns on armed robbers

For those of you that seem to think my comment was without basis. It's fairly common that employees that defend themselves or attempt to protect company property is terminated. Also, I'm sure there are some corporations that wouldn't consider that a favorable event. Keep in mind, not all corporate policies align with the opinions of most on here.

Except those thugs with an IQ of 75 - they'll continue to nominate themselves for Darwin Awards.
That's a strong point. Hopefully, the ones with more than a couple brain cells will be deterred.

The food offered at Taco Bell isn't my preference either but in regards to the employees I wouldn't worry, their action was legal.

Taco Bell said in a statement to WMAR that the employees at the location were "very shaken up" about what happened and the franchise would be offering counseling to anyone who needs it.

The problem is that they could still be fired if they violated company policy even though their actions were legal. Very few fast food workers can afford to lose their jobs.
But fewer can afford to lose their lives...
Do you think I was implying they shouldn't have defended themselves in spite of my initial comment in this thread? I'm just concerned TB may fire them even though what they did was legal.

No need to look for an argument on this as I believe we are in agreement they did the right thing.

Re: Taco Bell employees pull guns on armed robbers

The more potential victims stand up and defend themselves, the more the thugs will start to reconsider their actions. The laws aren't deterents but the high probability of leaving an attempted robbery in a body bag is.
