By the end of the dash, his trolley was stacked to the brim, leaving many South Africans shocked at how much he managed to collect without rushing.

What set this trolley dash apart from others was the man’s pace. While most participants sprint through aisles in a frenzy, he remained unbothered, almost strolling, yet still gathered more items than the average participant.
