That came after Sean Evans-McClelland made a brief appearance before magistrate Rodney Brender in Albury Local Court.
The bearded 26-year-old, wearing a sleeveless, white hooded puffer jacket and blue jeans sat in the dock for only a couple of minutes after being led into court at 9.45am.
Detective Inspector Winston Woodward said later that Evans-McClelland had been living in Springdale Heights for the past month, though he was not believed to be from the area.
It is claimed that Evans-McClelland entered the Woolworths Caltex about on June 6 about 6.35am while brandishing a knife.

He asked that the matter be adjourned to August 20 for preparation of the police brief.
