GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Investigators say a man can be seen patiently waiting in line at a Gwinnett County convenience store before robbing it when it was his turn.

He was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, black shirt, khaki pants, a black beanie-style hat, and black and white shoes.  The employee said that he had pink and white painted fingernails with glitter.
