The corona crisis has Germany under control and some people fear apocalyptic conditions. A saleswoman has had enough of the hamster purchases and gives free rein to her anger.
- For fear of the corona virus , many people buy hamsters .
- This partly leads to empty supermarket shelves - and annoyed sales staff .
- A (supposed) Lidl employee is harvesting a big shitstorm with a video message .
"Moinsen to all Corona trousers shit": A video message that sends a young sales employee into the world of the Internet begins unflatteringly. The greeting and dialect suggest that it is a lady from the northern, German region.
Angry Lidl employee sends a message to corona rabbits
In the following seconds the woman addressed emotional and reproachful words to those people who made hamster purchases for fear of the rampant coronavirus . According to their descriptions, these lead to the fact that the entire shops are bought empty and one has to constantly justify why there is no toilet paper, no pasta, butter, etc. Obviously, the lady has a problem with the constant demands of consumers and would like to give your anger some air. In the second part of the video it gets a bit pathetic because it promises that sooner or later "everyone will come in the box, with or without corona":
Another special feature of the clip is the fact that it clearly bears an emblem of the discounter Lidl and that it probably has little interest in such negative publicity. It is not known whether it is really an employee of the well-known discounter.
Announcement from Lidl employee: Shitstorm and fundamental debate follow
A week after the release, the video was viewed well over 250,000 times and unsurprisingly, a real shit storm breaks out about the self-confident appearance of the supposed Lidl employees . The critical post contains over 2,000 comments . But it is not just about the Lidl woman's announcement: In addition, a fundamental debate about the meaningfulness of hamster purchases has flared up, which take place in the course of the Sars-CoV-2 * viral disease .
