Good on the attendant for standing his ground but why do I get the feeling that if this happened in the UK the person going to jail wouldn't be the armed robber.

I don't know for sure but probably because you've been reading too much of the tabloid press. Show me a case in which a victim of an armed robbery was jailed for defending themselves and I'll reconsider. Tony Martin doesn't count, he was jailed not for defending himself but for going way beyond self defence.
