OLYMPIC VALLEY, Calif. (KABC) -- A hungry bear barged into a 7-Eleven near Lake Tahoe, frightening the clerk inside.

The bear perused the front of the store and can be seen triggering the hand sanitizer dispenser.

The worker says she first found the bear rummaging through the store's garbage cans over the weekend. When she went inside to call 911, the bear opened the door and followed her inside.

In her video, the clerk can be heard screaming "Hey! Stop!" and continuing to shout in an effort to shoo the bear away.
