Christopher told the media, “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’.”

He added, “The videos really don’t do it justice. The bear was about 20% to 30% bigger in real life.”

Christopher wasn’t able to do much while the bear broke into the store more than once.

“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. Initially I was scared, but after 15, 20 seconds, I was fine,” Christopher said.

Christopher finally stopped the bear from coming into the store by blocking the door. This was after the bear had made several trips around the store. “’It grabbed [the food], went out for two or three minutes and came back. It came in two or three times and then left for 30 minutes so that’s when I blocked the door.”
