it's ok to disagree. i am only stating what's corporation policy regarding fighting back during a robbery. i believe it is for the safety of everyone in the building. I have no idea of statistics on how many may have been hurt or killed because of fighting back vs a quick grab and flee without anyone being hurt.

This guy killed a person over pizza money. if the job was so dangerous he could have changed jobs. I understand this was a set up. the couple called in for pizza and then planned to rob him when he arrived. The woman has been arrested.

corporations would rather have anyone steal a few hundred dollars vs numerous law suits of putting customers in danger.

if i was working in 24/7 business i believe i would want to carry a weapon. However, if you do you better plan to use it. i have no idea how many people carry a weapon but could never pull the trigger and then end up dead with their own weapon or shot by a robber.

Here are unsolved robberies to support your position.
