Bear walks into shop, strolls out with candies

• Bear

Nobody likes a bear inside the premises of their building, but a worker at 7-Eleven store in Olympic Valley was shocked to see a bear entering a store in California as the furry animal snacked and shoplifted some candies from the store.

The incident took place on September 6, 2022, according to a local news report. Media reports quoted cashier Christopher Kinson as saying that he was working the night shift when he discovered the brown bear.

“It came in, sniffed around, and once it got the food that it wanted, it scooted right out the door,” he said.

The bear’s entry was captured by the CCTV installed inside the convenience store. Mr Kinson said the footage did not do justice and that the furry animal was actually “20 per cent to 30 per cent bigger in real life.”

“I was scared initially, but they just want to eat. You always have to be careful though. We do not know how exactly they are thinking. Initially I was scared, but after 15, 20 seconds, I was fine,” the store clerk said.

After the bear’s repeated trips, Mr Kinson decided to stop the animal’s invasion so that the store would not become a source of its food. So, he blocked the door with a garbage bag and a mop. — ndtv.com
