When confronted by the robber in the bright sunshine of Sunday afternoon, Subway employee Justin Price didn't resist.

"I just stood there. Standing by the computer. I wasn't going to risk my life for Subway," Price said.

He may have been in danger but Price plays that down.

"Nobody choked me. Everybody thinks somebody choked me. No. He put his hand up  on my neck like this, like a split second. Let it off. Then he had his knife up, (but) not to my throat. I don't have a scratch on me," Price said.

The robber didn't take all the money in the store.

"He left money in the register," Price said. "He was in a rush."

Price said the robber said only "Open the drawer." And his only response back was "All right," though he did offer a parting remark to the man who had just pointed a knife at his face.

"When he left and I told him to have a nice day," said Price. "Just because you're getting robbed doesn't mean you shouldn't have manners."

Baldwin Township police tell Pittsburgh's Action News 4 that surveillance video from cameras nearby the robbed Subway store have been turned over to Allegheny County police for processing.
