Video shows Nick Santonastasso snarling at the customer who leaps out of his skin and throws a packet of paper towels at him in sheer horror.
Mr Santonastasso was born with three limbs missing due to a condition called Hanhart syndrome.
But the New Jersey joker, who dreams of starring in the horror TV series The Walking Dead, has found creative way of using his condition to make a name for himself.

His zombie prank is one of a long list of stunts he has posted on video-sharing site Vine that have shown his remarkable ability to overcome his condition.
His Vine account is accompanied by the message: 'Just a kid with a dream to change the world.'
The video, which was filmed at an unnamed hardware store, starts with Mr Santonastasso with full make-up on his face saying the phrase 'zombie prank'.
The footage went viral yesterday, with the phrase 'zombie scare' - the title of the video - becoming the second-most popular trending topic on Twitter in the US, according to International Business Times.

The severity of these physical abnormalities varies greatly among individuals. The cause of Hanhart syndrome is not fully understood.
