During the chaos of London's Streatham attack on Sunday, in which a man went on a stabbing rampage, a police officer bursts into a nearby cafe to tell customers to evacuate. And the cafe responds by asking if they could have 30 minutes for the customers to finish up (and pay the bill, which wasn't said, but…)
"Sorry guys, you're going to have to close, we have got to evacuate, I'm afraid," the officer says. "There's been a terrorist incident down there. We are closing everything down. You guys want to stay safe you will listen to me."
As customers react and start collecting their things, an employee says, "Just give us half an hour, people are just starting to eat."
"Madam, a terrorist has been shot dead just down there," the officer replies. "They've got a possible IED vest on them, which is a bomb. If you want to stay open for half-an-hour and you want to put people's lives in danger, be my guest."
Hmm, run away from a terrorist attack, or polish off my Reuben sandwich?
