A man walked into the Pit ’n’ Git store, 522 Robbins Ave., at 11:36 a.m. Monday and demanded money.

The man’s face was covered except for the eyes. The clerk said she hesitated for a moment, and the robber yelled louder and reached into his pocket, so she gave him the money in the register, fearing he was about to pull out a weapon.

The man then ran out of the store. A witness attempted to follow him but lost sight of him around Cedar Street.
