SEATTLE (AP) — The owner of a south Seattle convenience store says the man who robbed him at gunpoint Saturday was polite.

White Center Shell station owner John Henry told KING the man asked for a favor — empty the till.

And when Henry asked what he meant, the man said, “I’m robbing you, sir.”

Henry offered him $40, but the man took all the money, about $300, apologizing and saying he had bills to pay and children to feed.

As he left he said if he ever got back on his feet, he’d pay the money back.

The man in his 50s drove off in a red car. He left fingerprints and video evidence that King County sheriff’s detectives are using to look for him.
