This clerk had at least two opportunities to take it to this robber, one with a significant blunt object in his hand, but chose not to. He had a plan (use the tools), not sure if he had the skills (pretty easy to thump someone with a wrench), but he primarily did not have the attitude against this robber to stop him. So compliance was his best option and it worked out!
