The customer, who is a visitor to Atlanta, said he took his wallet out. But instead of complying, he figured he could run believing the gunman would not shoot with so many people in the parking lot.
His calculation was wrong. He heard three shots as he ducked running away.
"Sunday afternoon in broad daylight," the customer said, sounding amazed.
He was not struck by the gunfire. He had dropped his wallet. The thief picked it up, got into the vehicle and they drove away.
The authorities say two others in a separate incident were robbed by two men, also in a white Kia.
Both men pulled weapons in that incident. They got away with $600 cash, and designer items from both customers as they were leaving the mall.
