Of course. I'm getting too old not to.

As I said in my first post I did not see the situation and can not say whether I would have or not.

I am simply surprised at the responses here and how many flat out say they would not help.

Yeah, I know it's not a great comparison.

Some are saying that they would not help unless it got physical.

The way I read it, it did get physical.

And yet the consensus seems to me to be that the best thing to do is to be a good witness.

Still seems disingenuous.

Sounds like she was in over her head and in the wrong job and maybe she's looking for another one.

My wife and I often ask for a given situation if people would be more likely to help if it was a pretty woman in distress or a not so pretty whatever.

If the answer to us veers toward the pretty person we usually see it as a sad commentary.

I'd bet a twenty bucks that more would help in this situation if it was an out matched Giselle.

Of course you'd never see her in a security job. I know...

It's intersesting that 43% of us said the man should buy on a first date.

viewtopic.php?f=83&t=52485&hilit=date" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

57% said the one who asked for the date should pay first. So split that down the middle (28.5%) for a total of 71.5%.

71.5% would pick up the check but not help this woman who is asking for help.

I dunno, seems disingenuous.

She is asking for help.

I don't see the issue in helping if she is clearly struggling and you decide you are going to.

No weapon involved.

I might grab a bottle of windex and shoot the guy with it.

But seriously, I too am surprised that she and Target would take it that far.

Having not seen the exact situation here, I can't say whether I would have helped. But help can be a lot of things like helping her get away from the guy.
