You just need to have your keyboard/mouse/power plugged into the MBA and it will not go to sleep when you close the lid. The Apple Store employee must have missed this (how many years now?) feature:

Requirements for closed display mode:
  • Power adapter
  • External keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
  • External display
