A post shared by Harvinth Skin (@harvinthskin)

In the video, Harvinth was trying on a pair of Pumas and he was assisted by one of the staffs named Martin. After putting on the sport shoes, Harvinth got up to check whether the shoes were a good fit.

But what the salesman didn’t see coming is when Harvinth decided to dart out off the shoe store with the new kicks. The salesman immediately ran after him with the shoe box still in his hand, but he was confused to see the YouTuber ran back into the store afterward.

Martin was relieved to find out that everything was just a prank, and internet praised him for his dedication to chase Harvinth.

Hurray for Martin!
