A prankster put a dummy in front of a Tesco cashpoint to make other people needlessly wait in line. The frustrated customers keep waiting patiently, but when they finally figure out what's happening, they have a good laugh.

A man left a mannequin outside a Tesco cashpoint - causing a queue of frustrated people to wait aimlessly at the store. The ridiculous clip shows the man explaining how he ‘set up’ the prank outside a Tesco petrol station.

The dummy, which the man nicknamed as ‘Derek’, caused a small queue of two people at the branch to wait a fair amount of time to withdraw their cash at the ATM at the Tesco Esso Express on Liverpool Rd, Eccles, Greater Manchester.
While the two queue members waited patiently for who they believed to be another customer taking their sweet, sweet time to finish up with the ATM machine, the man behind the camera took it upon himself to put a stop to their frustration.

The man, who describes himself as a ‘video creator and prankstar’ on his Facebook page ‘Pesky painters’, recorded the video and then hopped out of his car to join in on the prank himself - appearing to hand over the camera to someone else in the car who laughs along with the events that follow.

The content creator then jumps into the queue for the cash machine, which obviously was not moving thanks to the mannequin, before proceeding to tap ‘Derek’ on the shoulder in an attempt to hurry him along.

The prankster is then shown grabbing the mannequin by both shoulders in the hilarious turn of events before ‘realising’ that he is in fact not real. The man then carries the plastic imposter away towards his car, chuckling alongside the person now filming.

It is not clear whether the man took the mannequin away after the video or if the staff at the branch appeared to even notice the ordeal unfolding, but the man has tonnes of other similar videos on his page tricking others at various petrol stations and stores.

The video has racked up 38K likes and over 5,000 retweets after being shared on UB1UB2 Southall’s Twitter page today.
One user made fun of the British people saying,
"I'll put a mannequin there and it will be really funny coz British people dont like confrontation but do like queuing and ill make it funnier by having the camera swing from the people queuing to the mannequin. GREATEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME!"
