SA finds humour in car guard's video

Hundreds of local social media users rushed to the post's comment section to laugh at the comical video and share their thoughts about tipping car guards.

@mamba_theblackone shared with app users:

"I give R5 and R10 if they are nice. The last time, I gave a R50 to a car guard. I later found out they didn't even look after my car because the mirror was stolen while he was there."

@smexy_dawg_1 jokingly wrote:

"I thought you meant motivational notes."

@be.ablessing2 said with humour:

"I think you guys should start having speed points because we don’t carry cash."

@lisa_dee32 asked the public:

"Is R20 enough? That's what we give the car guards at the mall."
