American influencer Sam Beres, better known as Sambucha on social media, shared a video of himself secretly working at a department store and even attending to customers, before being asked to leave. His video has prompted various interesting remarks.
“How Long Could You Secretly Work At Best Buy?” Beres wrote on social media and posted a video.
In the clip, Beres is dressed in a uniform similar to that of Best Buy employees. “Could you secretly work at Best Buy?” he says, adding, “So to test this, I purchased a blue polo and khaki and walked into my local Best Buy.”
He explained that he did that with a plan to help customers, complete employee tasks and “most importantly, not getting caught”.
He started by standing in the electronics section and then proceeded to fix some packages on the shelves. To blend in, he also tidied up a bit and approached the customers. Eventually, he assisted two customers and guided them to the checkout area, resulting in two sales.
However, his ‘career’ was short-lived after a security guard caught him and politely asked him to leave. Beres abided by the rules and left. He stayed at the store for a total of 45 minutes as a fake employee, without being detected.
How did social media react?
An individual posted, “Imagine getting kicked out for working for free for a company, looool.” Another added, “I remember asking a lady in Walmart for help, and she wasn’t dressed in their gear, but I overheard her helping someone else, so I asked for her help! She really did answer questions about a gift for a child (toy donation), and it turns out, she was an art teacher; we talked for 15 minutes! She was so nice!”
A third expressed, “A harmless prank like video! Helping people, not hurting them or the business.” A fourth wrote, “Stop what? Advising people on purchases? Touching products? That’s just being helpful and bored.”
