An advantage of using your hands or a blunt weapon is that your less likely to seriously hurt them (legal considerations). I think that the nunchaku might have a psychological impact (they would never have been hit by one before).

I suppose it also depends on who is attacking you and why, and what wepons you've trained with. Even the size of the shop and how many people are there could make a difference. If you know that the person you are fighting is a MMA expert then you're probably better off with a weapon. If it is a very small shop there might not be room to use a large weapon.

I'm very pleased with the replies so far. No one has insulted me or told me that this thread is stupid.
