An employee noticed what was happening and tried to stop the man, but the robber struck him in the face, which knocked his glasses off, and the robber got away, according to the release.

Police said the robber did not display a weapon. He was described as white, medium build, 5-feet-11 and weighing 180 to 210 pounds. He was last seen wearing a green hooded shirt, faded blue jeans, dark blue baseball cap and dark-colored work boots, according to the release.
