So the employer is saying that ...... even though the guy holding the
gun said, not to use the ambush code (with, what I would imagine
included the spoken or unspoken threat, that if the police showed up,
they'd shoot the employee .....) the employer thinks that the employee
should risk his life for the company.    Is that about it?

I hope they take the time to explain that company policy to the
replacements.

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.  I know in our businesses my folks
always told all of our employees to cooperate 100% with any armed robber as
no amount of money or merchandise in the store was worth an employees life.
In over 30 years owning a country grocery and convenience store we had one
armed robbery and only half a dozen burglaries or attempted burglaries.  The
worst loss ever was from an inside job.  Fortunately the FBI caught him
first.
