For all those who say safety scort is a joke you are completely wrong. For one if students would not try to use it for a taxi service then people who really need it would not have to wait as long. Two they also do pick up more then one student up at a time now and as far as smoking in the car is not allowed. The safety escort has changed sence the last people who were driving it so make sure you get all your facts right just because it was happening in the past does not mean that is how it is now. Also if the students make sure there where they need to be so they can come out to the car in a promptly manner then the wait time for other is not so long. Also the bus does not stop running until 3am so there is another way of getting around late at night

kcollier39 - let's see what happens if you draw one gun on four people with at least two guns. It probably won't end in your favor. The safer thing is to meet their demands, call the police, and understand that they will probably be caught eventually. No, it's not cool to let them "win", but when you are sitting there not in jail, making an honest living, you realize that you probably really did come out ahead. Losing some cash and your cards sure beats getting killed.

Huh??? Please explain this non-sequitur.

screaming and pepper spray aren't effective against guns. Just give them the $ and hope they don't shoot you.

What? Where in the world do you get that idea? As someone who lives very near NCSU, I totally disagree with this comment. To me, just shows how incredibly out of touch with our area some posters on here are.
