In a nearly three-minute clip, a massive monitor lizard simply stands in the automatic door of a Tesco Lotus like it owns the place.
Was it enjoying the aircon? Attempting to do some shopping? We may never know but we do know that it was scaring the crap out of workers and shoppers alike.
We aren’t sure where this Tesco is, but the clip was posted by user Ipsy Ipsy in Ban Khlong Nung, Pathum Thani.
Watch as shoppers casually wheel their baskets halfway through the automatic doors before spotting the lizard and backing out. Perhaps they are thinking, “You know, maybe I’ll skip the shopping tonight and just get some Mama at 7/11.”
A group of young men at the store try their best to get the monitor lizard to leave. They grab the giant cardboard signs near the doors and try to simply push the monstrous monitor out. The lizard isn’t too pleased by this as he hits back at the cardboard with his massive tail before biting it.
Eventually, using two signs to corner the lizard, they move it into the parking lot, where the video ends.
After the clip was shared to YouLike on Friday, it was viewed almost a half-million times.
In the audio, the woman making the recording said [in Thai], “Why did it come in here? It isn’t going out. It’s scared.”
The young men with the boards repeatedly say to it, “Go away, go away, go away.” The woman taking the video warns the boys, “Be careful! It might run right to you,” before screaming and yelling, “It bit the sign!”
Another comment suggested: “Maybe it wants some KFC?”
But, netizens also felt bad for the poor creature. Commenters noted that the staff should have called rescue volunteers because they have special equipment to deal with this situation. Others said that volunteers could have brought the lizard back to the nature and that, by pushing it out of the store, the lizard could have been hit by a car in the busy parking lot outside.
