The video, filmed in a comedic point of view style, begins with the house help preparing to leave for the day. When her “boss” decides to check her bag, the situation quickly turns humorous. One by one, she sheepishly pulled out several items, including a roll of toilet paper, a carton of milk, a can of beans, an orange, a carrot, three pieces of uncooked meat wrapped in plastic, a banana, two plates, a fork, a knife, and an apple.
The woman, who goes by the TikTok handle @shylet30, captioned the clip, saying:
"POV: When your boss suddenly decides to check your bag before you leave your workplace."
Her exaggerated expressions of embarrassment and shyness as she emptied the items from her bag made the skit even more entertaining, leaving viewers laughing uncontrollably.
Social media users quickly jumped into the comments section, praising the creativity and relatable humour.
While clearly staged, the skit offers a playful take on the sometimes sensitive relationship between domestic workers and their employers. Rather than sparking controversy, the video, shared by TikTok user @shylet30, has been widely appreciated for its comedic value and the actress, who is a housekeeper in real life, and her natural performance.
The clip has since racked up over 1 million views since it was published on 20 September 2025 on TikTok by the housekeeper named @shylet30, with many calling for more skits from the creator. In a time when social media is often filled with serious content, this housekeeper’s hilarious 'bag search' moment brought much-needed laughter and lightheartedness to audiences across Mzansi.

"In my house, the rule is don't steal. If you want something, ask."
Jolandie Pretorius added:
"I pay mine above average, and she knows she must ask if she needs anything. I don't tolerate thieves. If I tell someone, please ask me if you need anything, and you still steal from me, then I can't trust you, and you will be fired with immediate effect. You don't steal from the person who provides your salary. Finish and klaar."
Nikita expressed:
"It's just food, no biggie."
Mafia Queen replied:
"I appreciate everything my boss is doing, for I'll never steal from my boss."
Mbali commented:
"Don't do that..Rather ask."

"Full salary."
