The robbery happened about 2:30 a.m. at the store near Flamingo Road and Valley View Boulevard, according to a Metro release. Police said a man picked out a bag of chips and a drink, and then walked to the counter. The man pulled out a large revolver from his waistband after the clerk opened the register.
