It seems unlikely that we will ever experience a robbery, so we rarely think about what to do in this situation. If we do, it’s probably when we’re watching action movies and everything seems to be self-explanatory there. However, when we deal with it face-to-face, things start to get complicated.
1. Don’t play the hero.
It’s better to set aside your heroic intentions and just avoid any kind of confrontation. Those who try to tackle a robber only escalate the situation and make them even more violent. Even if they seem unarmed or there’s only one, don’t try to copy Bruce Willis. Robbers may have a weapon — but it might be out of your sight.
