Christopher Kinson was serving at the 7-Eleven in Olympic Valley, California, one night last week when he saw the door open but no one walked through.

On closer inspection, he saw the grizzly animal chowing down on some sweet snacks.

According to People, he said: “Initially, I was surprised. I see the door open, and I don’t see a torso, and I am like, ‘Oh my God. It’s a bear.

“I always kept my distance, and I had the back door near me so I could escape if it charged me. I was scared initially, but they just want to eat. You always have to be careful, though. We don’t know how exactly they are thinking.”

Much to his surprise, the ravenous bear would take one bar at a time.

He said: “It’s funny.

“It’s like it was purposely polite to take one candy bar at a time; it’s almost like it had manners.”

The bear popped in and out for his munchies over the course of 30 minutes.
