The cashier looked confused and amused when the gent gave her 20c for the chicken pack costing 8c. Woolworths Food in Tyger Valley had no choice but to honour the sale, and the man was very chuffed about it, reported IOL.

“Yes, mense! I just paid 8 cents for a 24-pack of chicken at Woolies, as you can see on the slip. Just wanna remind you guys that the customer is always right."

At the end of the clip, he said the grocery store gave him back the 20c because "nobody operates with cents anymore".

Mzansi people on TikTok were cheering for the guy, and the video gathered over 1.5 million views.
