The Engene garage dance show-off

In the video, the young woman stands in the front bonnet of her bright yellow Beetle while dancing to Jealousy by Khalil Harrison and Tyler ICU. The petrol attendants don't just cheer, they join in with slick moves of their own. The crew attempt the viral challenge, which @skylelee_elliott masters perfectly, as if in a music video.

Even though none of the four gents know the dance challenge, they still show off in their ways, proving that fun is not about following others but embracing the moment. After a few minutes of killing it, the lady hops down from the car, smiling and laughing with the petrol attendants.

Working as a petrol attendant

Briefly News spoke with Siphosethu Dapula, a petrol attendant, about life at the pump station and why keeping the vibe alive is part of the service.

We asked the man what the vibe is usually like at the petrol station during shifts. He shared:

"It's lively most of the time. We chat with customers and laugh with each other, and if a nice jam plays, we might even start dancing a it. It keeps things fun and helps us push through long days."

The team asked if he's ever been asked by a customer to dance with them, like in the viral video. The man responded:

"No, not yet, maybe the request is still coming. I've never had someone ask me to dance, but that doesn't stop us. If the music is good and we're feeling the vibe, whether we're helping a customer or just on a quiet shift, we'll do a little dance."

We asked Sipho how it feels to be part of a job where fun and work come together like that. He said:

"It feels great. We still take our work seriously, but adding some fun into the mix makes the day go faster. That good vibe shared between staff and customers is what makes this job feel more human."

When asked what customers say when they catch them dancing. The experienced petrol attendant shared:

"Most of them enjoy it. Some smile, laugh, and even clap or cheer us on. It brightens their day and ours, creating good energy all around."

Some commented on how refreshing it was to see such happiness in a normal place like the garage.
