This one’s a whole mood. A confused — and then increasingly heated — supermarket showdown was caught on camera after staff accused a man in a blue vest of pretending to be an employee. He insisted, politely at first and then not-so-politely, that his name is Foster and that he genuinely works there. The result? An awkward, loud, very 2020s confrontation that viewers are already calling chaotic.
The clip starts calm(ish): a man wearing a generic blue vest is restocking or at least handling products. Other staff approach because someone rang the non-emergency line to report “a guy matching your description” acting like an employee. That’s when things go sideways.
“You literally work here?” one staffer asks.
“My name is Foster. I just clocked in at 8:00, just like everyone else,” he replies.
Foster doubles down — he says he’s been on the job for six months — but the other employees aren’t convinced. They want ID, a supervisor, anything that proves he belongs behind the shelf. The disagreement escalates into finger-pointing, accusations and weirdly personal lines like, “You look a little Caribbean or something.” (Which… yeah. Awkward.)
At one point the staffer warns him they’ll drag him downtown if he won’t cooperate — and Foster alternates between insisting he’s an employee and jokingly claiming he’s “undercover” so he can finish a “mission.” That line didn’t land. People leave. Tension stays.
Why people are split online:
- Some say management should know their own employees and this kind of public confrontation is unfair.
- Others say if there’s even the tiniest chance someone’s impersonating staff, employees have a right to ask questions and protect the store.
Possible takeaways:
- If you actually work somewhere, keep your ID on you. A blue vest isn’t a hall pass.
- If you’re a staff member and unsure, call a manager before escalating — or at least get the person to show a badge.
- And please, everybody: avoid weird racial comments and don’t threaten to “drag” people downtown on the spot. Let the right channels handle it.
The clip ends with a messy exit and Foster telling the camera (or whoever’s left) he was “undercover.” Whether that was a joke, a lie, or an attempt to defuse things, people watching the video are still baffled.
