“The Taxi Is Accurate”: Mzansi Laughs After Comedians Show How People Shop With Trolleys As Drivers

• Two comedians in Checkers showed Mzansi how people would shop if they were drivers on the road
• The local funnymen mimicked taxi, GTI, Hilux, Hyundai, BMW, Audi and e-hailing drivers
• Social media users in the comment section shared their laughs and felt they could relate to some of the hilarious examples

Two comedians humorously demonstrated how shoppers navigated the aisles with their trolleys as if they were manoeuvring specific brands of cars. Many viewers found the skit relatable, recognising their driving habits mirrored in their shopping routines.

The road meets the aisles

Comedian Morgan Ross and fellow comic Ian Young shared a comical video on Morgan's Instagram account (@isthatmorganbeatbox) comparing shoppers to their driving skills.

While pushing Checkers trolleys, the pair playfully noted that BMW drivers don't indicate, GTI drivers always want to race after stopping at the robots, and Hyundai drivers drive slow in the 'fast' lane.
