I hope they made their getaway in a little blue car-boat like in the picture.

Scuba Steve! Damn you!

Sorry, he spray painted cameras, took off the scuba gear, tied up the employees and left all in under two minutes? That doesn't seem realistic.

[–] eRac@lemmings.world 10 points 3 days ago

I believe the two minutes is the time he was in the office. He dropped his gear outside, spent two minutes inside securing them and grabbing the cash, then went back out to don his gear.

Zip ties. Still very fast, but at least plausible.

Is that an advertisement for scuba diving industry?

So an unarmed guy says to two people, "I taking the cash and tying you up" and they just comply? Unless he was a huge burly guy, there are two of you, one bashes his head while he tries to tie up the other. Sure the money is replaceable, but being tied up means you can't defend yourself against what he could do next.

Just because he’s not showing me a weapon doesn’t mean he doesn’t have one. Also, I work for Disney. They probably have a policy that says “comply with anyone trying to rob the place,” and even if they didn’t they are insured. None of that money is my money so fuck it.

Fair. I wouldn't car about the cash. But you aren't tying me up without a fight, weapon or not. Unless we prearranged the tie up :)

Okay but the thief was probably at least very fit, and 'dashing thief' is automatically +10 hotness

I'm just saying–knowing nothing else about the person, my personal scales tip towards 'yes please'

You gonna die for the mouse?

You gonna risk a broken knuckle from punching someone for the mouse?–didn't think so. But you do want to keep your job. So you agree to be subdued.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, as explained earlier, if you are tied up by an assailant, you are now at their mercy, has 0 to do with work

So. You choose to hurt yourself for the mouse–at bare minimum you fuck your hand up, maybe you fucking die.

Or you let the professional stranger whos clearly in a hurry–the one who has an escape plan–and just asked where the money is tie you up with your co-workers. There's no third option. You're internet poisoned.
