Man Gets Stuck Inside A Supermarket After Cashier Left Without Checking For Customers

The TikToker didn't seem too concerned; after all, he had plenty of snacks and wine on hand.

Isn't it possible that things may be worse?

“During the pandemic, Aldi closed early and the cashier neglected to make sure no customers were left in the store,” he wrote in the caption. 

Khaos explains in the video that he 'just got locked in an Aldi,' while showing his watch, which reads 8.45 pm - 15 minutes before closing time.

Text over the clip reads: “I could unlock it myself but called the cops to avoid setting off the alarm.”

The camera cuts to the shopper in the empty store, shouting: “Can anybody hear me,” before saying: “I don’t have to worry about starving to death because there’s plenty of food.”

He then points to the booze aisle, adding: “There’s also a bunch of alcohol in that rack.”

Thankfully, the cops eventually arrived and released Khaos.

He went into more detail about the incident in the comments section, writing: “This was April 2020, shortly after all the toilet paper disappeared and most people were staying in their homes for two weeks.”

“I was fresh in from Puerto Rico and hadn’t kept up with the news about what was happening back in the States.”

“I needed groceries so drove to Aldi. There was one other shopper and the cashier. I walked by her as I entered.”

After a few minutes of shopping, the TikToker saw that the lights had turned off, which he took as a sign that the store was about to close.

But, after a few minutes at the counter, he claims he went to find the cashier, only to see her driving away out the window.

Khaos contacted the cops, and the dispatcher, as well as the officer who arrived and urged him to stay still until the store manager arrived.

“The manager arrived and was super confused that two shoppers got locked in the store and the security system wasn’t working as it should,” he added. 

“We asked if we could pay for our stuff and he told us to just come back and pay the next day and pick up our items.”

Khaos continued: “I still shop at Aldi and there are no hard feelings.”
