I noticed that, too. It looked like the clerk was hastily trying to close the cash drawer when the robbers walked in.
And that, “Are you okay,” guy did take his gun and run off.
That clerk is lucky to be alive.
That was an employee who took the gun off the counter.
Btw, you’re correct, the clerk is lucky to be alive...He should have had the gun in his hand 3 seconds after the suspects entered the store. He was not paying attention on who was coming through the door.
