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.”

Zikr shared with Briefly News why he wanted to relive one of his childhood memories and how being called out made him feel:
“I wanted to relive the memories because they’re something one can’t get back. A lot of kids want to grow up fast, but once you do, you realise that you want it back, and that’s how I felt. As a child, there were moments when I would be pushed in a cart, but it wasn’t often, so now that I’m older, I thought I could.
“I was in shock and embarrassed, but it wouldn’t stop me from doing it again. I understand it was his job, but I left the shop once my mom was done shopping.”

“No, why was he so rude about it? I would sob.”
@Marva explained:
“I’m sorry, but no one is telling me to get out of the cart, whether it’s an employee or not. I will stare at you until you leave me alone.”
@Shakirah.Shakirah pointed out:
“Some people really hate whimsy.”
@nikitatewary3 shared:
“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.”
