The employee was mopping up the floor when a man dressed entirely in black and wearing a mask walked in carrying a gun in his right hand and a bag in his left.

It appears the robber gave the employee orders before they both walked out of the view of the camera.

Anyone with any information on the robber's identity is asked to call the Gainesville Police Department at 352-393-7616 or send an anonymous text to the 274-637 and include the keyword GPDFL plus your tip.
