An attempted robbery at a nail salon in Atlanta went wrong after customers ignored the robber's demands, leading to him leaving empty-handed.
The CCTV footage, shared online by Atlanta police, shows the man entering the Nail First salon with his hand pointed in a bag as if he were concealing a gun.
He starts shouting at customers to "get down" and to "empty out your pockets," but they stare at him blankly and do not comply.
"Give me your money! Where's the money?" he yells at a customer, who seems to reply, "I don't have any," as she casually exits the store.
"Everybody, give me everything!" he says.
An employee can be seen sitting behind his desk and talking calmly on the phone, also ignoring the robber's demands.
After several more attempts at demanding people hand over their money, the would-be robber looks around in resignation and leaves the salon.
Investigators with the Atlanta Police Department have asked the public for help identifying the suspect, who they said fled the scene in a silver sedan, per USA Today.
