Retail workers have to deal with all kinds of strange customers on a daily basis. Luckily, most of these encounters do end up on the countless social media apps the internet has to offer. However, with that being said, this recently posted TikTok video is a little more strange than most of them. The clip has around 700K likes and 4.3 million views as this California man dresses in a Furry costume and attempts to buy food with a rock he claims is an “Alien.“
The TikTok video starts off with the man already inside the store, which appears to be some kind of gas station or convenience store. As this is happening, he also does a full 360-degree turn showing off his Furry outfit, included with a rainbow tail and a hood. The woman working behind the front counter then tells him, “Sir, you can’t pay with a rock here.” She then pans her phone’s camera down to the counter’s surface, where a huge rock sits in the California man’s backpack. He then looks her dead in the eyes and states, “This is a real Alien.“
TikTok Reacts To California Man’s Alien Discovery
The TikTok comment section was rolling after this, as many would rush to the clip in order to leave behind their own thoughts and jokes regarding the matter. “His outfit, the rock’s lore, 13 cherries, this is cinema,” joked one. Another commented, “I bet he’s happier than I am.” One other person also stated, “Get this man in the white house!” Finally, one last comment also asked, “Y’all don’t take alien rock pay?“
As the TikTok video continues, the California man gives the woman recording the rundown on his Alien rock. He then goes on to say that the item was compressed “Right here in Oakland, California.” Finally, he can also be heard telling the woman that “This is gonna give us DNA,” as he points to one specific spot on the massive rock.
The TikTok video would then begin to come to an end following this, as the man continues explaining some deep rock lore. However, the California retail employee remained incredibly calm and patient during this encounter. Sadly, that’s all the TikTok had to offer, as it cuts off with the man still inside the store. At the end of the day, this was a very odd situation to be in. Yet, it was handled properly, and it did not escalate any more than it had to.
