5 months By Zintle Mdaka

A viral video of a girl who can be seen dancing on top of a checkout counter at Checkers has sparked debate on the internet.

Many internet users were sharing concerns about hygiene, as the girl had shoes on and was dancing where food is placed before it gets scanned. This also led to some internet users calling for a suitable punishment for her.

In the video which garnered over 70 thousand views on TikTok, the woman stands on top of the counter and starts dancing. Later, she is told to get down by a staff member. Captioning her post, she said: Only in South Africa. (Please don’t make me trend).”

Showing no remorse for her actions, she is later blocked by another staff member of the retail shop as she wants to shoot another dancing video in another spot. She and her camera person continue with the video despite being told to stop. Captioning her post, she said: “Someone was not happy.”
