  • The customer, who was seen holding a Bible, reportedly wanted to buy tobacco with the 51 cents that he had.
  • He allegedly grew irate after store owner Joyce Sung explained that his money was not enough.

Losing hope: The Plaza Sundries store, located near the Charlotte Transit Center, is a repeat victim of senseless attacks.

  • Last year, Sung’s husband was reportedly hospitalized twice after being assaulted by robbers.
  • The owners’ son, Mark, said the store gets trashed at least once a year and each incident costs them $5,000-$9,000.
  • The owners’ nephew, Patrick, told NextShark that such incidents do not seem to wane despite the presence of security.
