Well, if he's working in a convenience store he probably can't afford body armor. But, my vote is to wear level II body armor. A good used one can be bought for $300 on the web.
I also would carry. Jobs like that are not hard to find and the worst they can do is fire you if they find out. If I saw someone suspicious come in, I'd ready my gun and feign cooperation and blast them at the first chance.
In this video it's tough to say what to do. Sometimes a ballistic vest is your best bet. It's like a seatbelt. No matter what you do to avoid an accident, you're glad to have one when the accident is unavoidable.
IF the store had a no guns policy, I'd sue the store for prohibiting me from defending myself or hiring an armed guard.
