[quote]A Burger King employee in Northern California is the latest inductee into the Heroic Worker Hall of Fame, after slipping out the back of the store during an armed robbery and hiding the suspects' getaway car. According to police, two young men, identified as Jeremy Lovitt, 23, and Gabriel Gonzales, 19, held up the Stockton fast food joint at gunpoint Thursday evening. One demanded that an employee empty the register, while the other ordered the manager to open the safe, reports Sacramento TV station KXTV.
As this was going on, a third employee sneaked out to get help, spotted a car with the engine running and, guessing that it was the robbers' car, hopped in and drove it around the corner. The police quickly caught up with Lovitt and Gonzales as they tried to flee on foot.

Quick thinking on the worker's part. I probably wouldn't have jumped in a car at all if I escaped an armed robbery, I would try to call the cops.

The most effective way to survive a robbery is to do what your told to do. Don't be combative, don't do anything stupid and you and the people around you are more likely to come out of it OK. Stuff can be replaced, people cannot.
