“He said employees are trained to de-escalate robbery situations to avoid injury, according to the station.”
And that’s EXACTLY what happened, asshole.
Or, is it what they really want is to avoid injury to the perpetrators?
These people are so goddamned stupid it beggars belief.
If I lived in Oregon (never heard of the company) you wouldn't see me putting shade on their doorway.
The employee could rightfully claim to have feared for his life. In such a situation, the company is utterly wrong to expect someone to continue "de-escalating" the situation even at the risk of his own life.
