While I applaud and support the clerk's action to mitigate the potential harm to himself I also understand the company policy of no resistance which is the safest policy for them. Safest for them doesn't necessarily mean safe for the employee at risk.

With a formal policy, you are locked in to whatever it states until changed.

Convenience store clerk has to be one of the riskiest occupations out there - right up with lumberjack and EOD.
