The footage was shared by the People’s Daily on its Twitter account on Tuesday.
The incident happened at 11:50pm in Lawson’s Xieqiao Street store, in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province on June 10.
A video of the bizarre scene was released by Lawson on its official social media account on June 12.
The footage shows a grey Smart car entering the store.
A male shopkeeper, appeared to be shocked, approached the driver. He then took some goods off the shelves and pass them to the shopper. The customer then gave him the money.
The driver did not get out of the car during the purchase.
The shopkeeper assisted the driver to reverse the car out of the shop.
The driver, who remained in the comfort of the car throughout, then paid for the items and reversed out.
The shopkeeper said that it was raining at the time and that is why the driver probably drove into the store.
The driver’s behavior drew mixed reactions from Chinese netizens, most of which couldn’t believe their eyes.
One commented: “That must be the new Smart Car promotional video,”
“Give him an ‘A’ for creativity!” one Twitter user, AhasOConnor, wrote.
Jiangsu-based Weibo user Liuyiqiu wrote: “The service of that convenience store is perfect.”
another said it must be “an advertisement for the convenience store,” while others criticized the driver for bad manners.
