[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 920834, member: 17969"] SOBER, this is where YOU and I and the company disagree. The clerk DID have the opportunity to make a Rational decision. When HE refused to hand over the money, he made a irrational decision to "STAND OFF" with the would be robbers. This decision led to the addition of a threat of using the gun to take the money. At that point, the clerk made another decision to refuse to comply and engage with the would be robbers. These are TWO decisions that the clerk clearly could have avoided. The company reviewed the TAPE and concluded the same. If he had simply given them the money and let them leave, there would have been NO THREAT of use of the gun by the women. The fact that the women used the threat AFTER he refused to hand over the money doesnt make them innocent, as I believe they should be charged with the most serious crime possible just for using the gun. People are put in positions where rational thought process has to be a number 1 priority. Like police officers. They dont have the luxury of letting their emotions make decisions for them. This clerk is no different. There is a simple solution to this circumstance. Robber comes in with a gun, asks for the money, clerk hands it over, waits, then calls police. Anything other than this scenario where the clerk ESCALATES the situation deserves a termination. Peace [/QUOTE]
