Having worked in places like this in the past I can sympathize with the employee. As soon as they enter with guns to rob absolute fear would have hit. One misunderstanding or flinch and it is over. He (or she) may get in some trouble over the store policy or legality/origination of the gun but I'd rather be alive than a good employee.
