Some dream of travelling the world and living on the edge–but could you imagine going to the extent of taking your grocery basket along with you?
That’s exactly what one ex-employee of Woolworths did to make a statement about convenience and boldly ‘create history’.
The video online showed the traveller, a former Woolworths employee, boarding the plane to Japan with a Woolworths basket, which he used to carry his airline ticket, passport, and other travel documents.
He then stowed the basket in an overhead compartment for the flight, alongside other passengers' suitcases.
The video continues with the social media user taking the basket through what appears to be customs.
The audacious act has attracted over 330,000 views since sharing it on social media, sparking a flurry of comments and reactions.
In the comments section, the traveller revealed that he was a former Woolworths employee, which led to a barrage of questions from other supermarket workers.
One user asked, 'As an ex-Woolies employee, I am wondering how you got it out? We had to make sure people didn’t take baskets out the door.'
To which the traveller cheekily replied, 'As an ex-Woolies employee, I know how it’s to be done.'
The video sparked amusement among social media users. Some have even suggested that this could become a new trend.
One user commented, 'Can this be a trend? Imma take one to Malaysia lol.'
Another joked, 'Customs: unexplained item in the bagging area.'
‘My man! What a legend. I have like eight of these baskets at home.’
However, not everyone was amused by the stunt.
A Woolworths spokesperson has discouraged shoppers from following in the man’s footsteps, stating, ‘We offer baskets for the convenience of our customers when shopping in store.’
‘While we’re glad to see his commitment to our baskets, we do encourage all customers to return our baskets after their shop in consideration of our other shoppers,’ they added.
