Thank you @thefixer47. Find the lie among these selections from my old retail job.
- There was a knifepoint robbery in the cosmetics department
- A car crashed through our front door
- Somebody stole a PS4 right in front of me and ran out the store with it
- A guy used a Hitman-esque coin distraction to steal a bunch of lottery tickets

Number 1 maybe?
Unless these are all lies, your job is movie-like.
Yes it was 1, there was a knifepoint robbery but it was at pharmacy. We still had tons of grab-and-go’s in cosmetics because the perfumes were kept unlocked for years, but no armed robberies. Beyond that, I’ll break down the rest:
- It happened while both me and my mom were in the building, it sounded at first like all of the glass panels over in cosmetics had shattered. What happened was an elderly driver was parked in front of the store, and as they left they hit the pedal thinking it was in drive but it was actually in reverse. So they drove straight through our glass front doors and miraculously didn’t hurt anyone despite the store actively having a regular amount of customers (including my mom, who was just about to leave!)
- It was ridiculous. This guy was in the middle of “buying” a PS4 and wanted to see the serial number as I was scanning it. I let him have a closer look, he fucking yanked it away from me and sprinted away almost comically. I actually followed him out front, but when he turned a blind corner I didn’t want to take the chance so I stopped. I later learned that he turned the corner and hopped in a getaway car with a driver waiting, so if I had followed I could have grabbed the license plate. I wish I had done that, but I don’t regret pulling back at the chance of danger. It was only a PS4, after all.
- We noticed that all of the scratch tickets from one of the cashes was missing, so we had a look at the surveillance footage and saw a guy standing in line, with multiple people around him, toss a pencap on the ground to make the customer in front of him look the other way so that he could reach over the counter, pull the tray out and grab all of the tickets and pocket them. He had just asked the cashier to get him something from the counter immediately behind her, so he timed it expertly. None of the other customers saw a thing, we watched it all on camera. He literally identified the only two people that needed to be distracted, he did it, and successfully got what he wanted without anyone noticing. From that day forward I didn’t question the logic of Hitman throwable distractions in the fucking slightest.
@thefixer47 it really was a pretty interesting time to be honest, there’s so much more that I could write here that’s just as dramatic or more. It was a fun job, for what it was.

Wow, not too many dull moments at your old job. 
Sounds like you’ll have more truths (and lies) to tell. 
I love to go again but I don’t have time just yet. Whoever wants next can have it.

Truly Fascinating. And I can say by my own experience the Hitman Coin logic works.
This one is about my early student life.

- My first school had several stuffed animals, including birds, snakes and a crocodile.
- We had a room that had a 3D projector that didn’t worked properly
- We had a lab that had stuff that fire came out of.
- We dissected a frog.

Yes, indeed. We dissected a fish and a live crab that kept moving after we were done. Needless to say it wasn’t the most pleasant experience for some, but for others it was quite interesting, like for myself.
