An Arizona clerk proved unwilling to end up buried while working the graveyard shift this week at a gas station in Avondale.

Brian (who has also been referred to as Ryan in some reports) was working at the Chevron gas station Wednesday morning on 107th Avenue and Indian School Road. Around 5:15 a.m., a potential robber barged in, waving a handgun and jabbering about money.

While the robber was unintelligible on account of his face covering, Brian told KSAZ-TV that “he didn’t need to say anything.”

“The moment he pointed the gun at me, it was pretty obvious what he was there for,” the clerk told the station.
