"At first I thought it was someone messing about. I said 'Are you serious'. He just said 'Come on, hurry up'.
"The whole thing lasted 10-15 seconds. It was so quick, I didn't have time to react.
"He was so calm. He ran in, but he literally walked out down the fridge aisle then out of the shop.
"Physically I'm fine. He didn't touch me, it's just the shock of it. I've worked for the Post Office for 10 years and never been robbed before.
"You just think everyone is a suspect. You're looking at everyone."
The exact amount of money stolen is still being calculated, but is thought to be around £10,000. The Post Office reopened today, having being closed since the robbery.
Police have described the suspect as 'wearing a black face covering, black jacket with a grey hood, a cap, black gloves, black trousers and brown boots'.
