While he was enjoying his little ride, the youngster was met with an unpleased employee who reminded him:
“By any chance you forget, you’re not two years old anymore, you’re a big boy. Thank you, hey.”
The young man was embarrassed after he was told to get off the trolley. He was prepared to film his great adventure before the employee crushed his dream.
The Capetonian said:
“I got asked to get out of the cart at Checkers. I was enjoying my childhood memories. He was hating. My heart dropped. Let's normalise sitting in carts.”

“Honestly, if he weren't a guard or Checkers employee, I would tell him to mind his own business. It seems you were not creating chaos or running rampant through the aisles.”
