The phucking employer fired the employee even though he did a dam good job of de-escalating the situation as they said employees are trained to do. You know why...guns are evil and scary. I guess they want them risk their life in doing the de-escalation exercises instead of just handing over the cash like they should have been trained to do.
Good news for the employee...crappy low paying life threatening jobs are everywhere thanks to a roaring economy. Better news is even better paying jobs in non hoplophobic companies and states are unfilled by the millions.

Oregan authorities are seeking a would-be thief who was armed with a hatchet when he tried to rob a convenience store, only to flee when the clerk drew a gun and called 911.
However, the clerk's quick thinking cost him his job, with the president of Plaid Pantry in Oak Grove explaining to local station KOIN-TV that the chain has a zero-tolerance policy for weapons.
He said employees are trained to de-escalate robbery situations to avoid injury, according to the station.
The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office on Friday released surveillance video of the incident which took place April 28 at the store, seeking tips in identifying the suspect who fled empty-handed and without the 12-inch hatchet.
