I can tell you that it is better to just hand over the money and be done with it.

That assumes you are done with it after handing over the money, but that's the robber's choice, not yours.

You assume too much about the polite intentions of the crook.

I think it is a lower form of life robbing convenience stores than robbing banks. A family member was shot just for the hell of it by a guy robbing a convenience store.

No disagreement on the scumminess of the clients.

I am simply trying to explain the rules put in place by the owners.

In many states the liabilities of shooting someone who is trying to rob you are astronomical. I do not believe that NH has a stand your ground rule, I could be mistaken. I know in MA you practically have to walk the robber to his car, wash his windows, and ask if there is anything else you can do for him.

I appreciate the guy’s dilemma. He just picked the wrong store to work in.
