MD Islam, who owns the store, says the man told the clerk he'd shoot him if he called police.
"My message to my employees is whenever they show a gun, give them what they want," said Islam. "Save yourself."

The suspect stole about $400 from two different registers. He also took tobacco products.
The store has been robbed three times in the last six months which is very discouraging for a small business.
"We are demotivated everyday to continue," said Islam. "It's happening again and again. Maybe we have to close."
