Grocery store

[OVERKILL]

 Alright, you've been hearing reports of panic and mass hysteria and notice you're a little lower stocked than usual. You're running low on bottled water and while you're out may as well pick up some batteries and a couple extra gallons of gas for the generator, luckily there's a small gas station/convenience store close by you can pick it all up at, even if it is a few dollars more. As you open the car door and you're about to slip your pistol inside your belt you remember you left the stove on. Throwing the gun in the passenger seat you head back inside. After turning off the stove you hop in the car and embark on your journey without incident.
 Upon arrival you happily notice the parking lot is empty save for a single faded blue older model van "that is a rockin'". Even though you know "Ladies of ill repute" sometimes frequent this parking lot, you have a strange feeling about the van, this is affirmed when you notice the back door open and see a leg and foot hanging out, quivering in what assume are passion throws. Paying no mind and not wanting to start a fight you continue inside, where you inform the checkout clerk to call the city police and make them privy to the situation.
 Assuming you have done your good deed for the day and assured the authorities will arrive shortly to bust up the party outside you make your selections. It doesn't take long to decide between brands since the shelves are nearly bare, but they have what you need. You pay for your items and inform the clerk you are going to get 3 gallons of gas as well, you would have liked to get more but could only find the 2 containers you keep for the mower and weed eater. As you stroll bags in hand towards the door intent on fetching your gas cans you see 2 women approaching, trashily dressed and freshly paid no doubt. But something isn't right, her mouth looks overly red like she's used way too much lipstick, and the second one, is that dried blood around the gash in her neck? Gash in her neck?, about the time everthing starts to click you see the "John" stumble out of the van covered in freshbut rapidly drying blood.
 Panic sets in as you reach for your shirt under your pistol and realize it's still in the front seat. You're first thought is to make a dash for the car but your mind and body aren't on the same track. Without hesitation and without even knowing you've slid a shelf in front of the door. You dash towards the clerk as she starts to yell at you for the mess you've made.
 "Those people we called the police about don't seem too happy about it", you say, not even wanting to admit the truth of what you saw, even to yourself. The clerk starts to answer, but is cut off by a thud at the door. You look around and only spot a mop and a hammer and as you try to decide which would be better the clerk tells you there's a vendors entrance at the back and notes the Miller man was here a few minutes ago and that he must still be here since he hasn't brought the receipt in yet. Just as she's about to go get him you stop her, you don't even know if he's still among the living, but if he is you need to warn him don't you. You're scared and want to use the vendors entrance as an escape route and go home where it's safe. Your logical side says lock the door and wait for the police to come in like the cavalry and save the day, but you're not even sure they'll be of any use, you don't even know if any of these options are the right thing to do. But one thing is sure, you have to act fast, so tell me; what do you do?

OK i take the hammer  and the mop. braking the mop at a point so i can us it as a spear. Not waiting for the cop(there probably occupied with the same type of thing some where else and not likely to respond)i make my way to the back door keeping the clerk behind me we try to find the miller man. he is out back unloading some beer.as we come out the door we tell him the shi# has hit the fan an he needs to get out of here.as he gos for his truck one of the girls come around the side of his truck. the blood throws him off and he thinks she is injured not dead . she raps he arms around him and gives him the sucker bit of death. as far as i can see it a strait shot to my car. so we run for it ! the other two zombies are on there way from the front door to the miller truck win they see us coming. in full sprint i drop kick the girl zombie  as the clerk made a run at the man she hit him with fist and a kick that was not to effective as he recovers i stuck the mop handle in his ear and ran to the car starting it  and making for home.

this is why i wear a harness, never leave it anywhere, and I always wear a knife...
as for your situation. there must be keroscene or something flamable in the store. light the mop, carry in you off hand, carry the hammer in your righ hand and bludgen anything that gets past the fire. Bring allong the clerk and the miller man if possible, but save yourself first. miller guy has beer, and the clerk might be hot.... whats wrong with being held up in the house with beer and hot women??
As for the convience store. lots of other weapons... hair spray and lighters... enought to fend off the zombies.... use the alchole as molitov cocktails, they usually sell knives and might even have a weapon behind the counter.

First off, when was the last time you saw a hot female conveinence store clerk? and second Zombies don't care about fire, they will continue to advance whether or not they are on fire. The best bet is to take your chance with the vendors entrance, grab the hammer and mop, 1 zombie is better than 3 at this point. Use the mop to keep the 1 possible zombie in the back of the store at a relative distance and use the hammer to clobber him if needed. any noise will bring the others around the back, since they cant exactly use the doors, unless they break it, or is one of those automatic ones, either way they will be on their way to the back of the store. which ever direction they come from run the opposite way, back to the car and back home.

If I parked out front, where the chick zombies are, how is getting out the back going to help me? I still have to go back around front and smash the skulls no?

I would probably tell the clerk what is up, and hand her the mop. She would have the choice to stay there or to flee. The Miller Man? Call the boss and tell him to come and wait for the receipt, cause I am out of there. I would either use the clerk with the mop to keep them at a safe distance from me so I could smack their brains out, or we would trap em at the door and play whack a mole! Go the car, she could help carry some of the sh*t I bought, and if she wanted to get out of there, she would hop in. If not, see ya, and you can have the hammer now!

 Loved everyones answers so far. Really like the different uses for the mop most of all. Keep 'em comin'.

Sup, new here. Anyway, i would probably inform the Clerk on the details then take the hammer in my right and the mop in my left. Check the place for any available weponry and head to the vendor's entrance. Inform the miller man and ask for his trolley. Start towards the car. When one of the babes comes at me, push the trolley into em so they fall. Bash her skull in. The others see me now so as the chick gets close (she got out before the dude, she's closer) hit her in the legs so she falls, then bash her too. That leaves the man. Knock him over too and repeat with the skull bash. Get the gas, search the van, get home and begin my escape plans. Barracade the house and watch the News and check the internet for related attacks nearby. Then wait till the time is right.

I never leave home without a rapier or a longsword. I'm trained in both of them. Either I put the blade of the sword through the zombie's neck, or poke holes in it's brain till it falls over. Depending on which I had with me.

 Well... the only thing i can think of is to grab the mop and break it into a sharp point for a spear... and grab the hammer... I would exit the building and in one quick dash i would jam the mop straight into the closest zed's face... then get one of the other ones with the hammer... then run to my car grab the gun off the seat and cap all three zed's (just in case they didn't die the first time)

[†CrimsonKing†]

I wouldn't use the pike thing (the spear) because i like the idea of just crushing them instead of a stab. You feel more in power that way

[Kilal45]

This is simple use the mop as a spear braking off the mop end and keep it for myself most convinece stoors have wepons behind the counter for saftey so i fugre the clerk is safe enough i take off out the back door and attempt to reach my car eliminating any threats that aproach me once i have my gun im all safe......Right.

[smallfry043]

i would stay in the store and wait for the police to show up because they got guns.

[ashley_doesnt_bite_either]

i would tie the hammer to the end of the mop using my shirt and hope it stays attached while i bash some skulls in from a distance. also, i always shop at wal mart, and they have kitchen knives which are useful for throwing. hopefully i can disable them enough to get closer and go for the brain. some wal marts also have hunting gear/weapons that could be utilized. i could use the hammer to break open the glass case and take my pick from there.
