When Robots Interact with Groups, Where Does the Trust Reside?

As robots are introduced to more and more complex scenarios, the issues of trust become more complex as various groups, peoples, and entities begin to interact with a deployed robot. This short paper explores a few scenarios in which the trust of the robot may come into conflict between one (or more) entities or groups that the robot is required to deal with. We also present a scenario concerning the idea of repairing trust through a possible apology.
