In another heartwarming story centred around a spaza shop, Briefly News reported that a young man was a hit on social media for his video after feeling he was robbed by a local spaza shop owner. The boy can be seen at a counter buying four sweets. However, the spaza shop owner, John, gives him five sweets.

The young man feels he is being taken for a ride and was not given what is due to him. He insists he wants four sweets and it seems he cannot count properly. The shop owner asks him to return the extra one and then he will get four. To his amazement, the young guy says he’s been robbed and demands his money back.

The man identified as Khulekani Khumalo headed to Facebook via the Black Spaza Shop Owners page to share this heartwarming story about how some peeps feel the customer is always right. On the other hand, some people seem to have first-hand experience regarding tiny customers.
