The robbery happened at the Dollar Tree on east 42nd Street, around 9:30.
Police say a woman was approached by a man who asked for the time, then pulled out a gun and demanded cash.
Instead of money, he got pepper strayed.

Authorities are looking for a Hispanic man in his early 20's, 5'9", and 150 pounds.
