Working in retail can be a nightmare in and of itself. Pair that with working or running a store by yourself and the potential for trouble skyrockets. People are unpredictable and when someone is in a desperate situation there is almost no telling what they are capable of or what they might do. One thing to remember is that even if you own the store you are working out, nothing inside it is worth losing your life over, and it is best to try and remain as calm as you possibly can, and comply with the demands of someone robbing the store.

While being robbed, a store clerk at a cell phone store manages to slip out the back of the store, locking the doors behind him. He then runs around to the front of the store and pulled down the security gate locking the thieves inside until police showed up.
