The shocking video shows the blade-wielding thug smashing the shop doors as he tries to enter the 'exit only' side.
He can be seen kicking at the door before repeatedly hitting the blade against the glass but shortly gives up and walks away.
The man - dressed in a black hooded top and blue shorts - then starts waving the knife about at the front of the busy supermarket.
Other shoppers can be seen just yards from the armed suspect at the branch on Ferry Road in Edinburgh.
