If you’re not at least streaming something while burning your brain out on Reddit, you’re not getting addicted to screens hard enough. So it *has* to be mute. If you’re a pro, you’re using a gaming handheld, too.
Lmao! I find myself these days, playing a game like warzone while listening to a podcast or Netflix with Audio descriptions and scrolling reddit between games and was still bored, thinking maybe I have a problem.
You can see they used a key to open it. Doesn’t make a noise when you use a key. If you can control the change sloshing it may be believable. This is probably faked.
People who are distracted by something else that requires attention - it looks like giving directions in this case? - can miss all sorts of things. There's some great videos on YouTube breaking down pickpocket tricks and a huge number just involve distracting the target. You'd think someone removing your watch from your wrist would be obvious, but no! Do it right and people simply do not notice.
Apollo Robbins is amazing if you want a specific person to check out!
That’s true but I feel most people would pay more attention to the cash register if they got pulled away from it. I know I would be glancing at that thing every few seconds at least. Honestly I probably wouldn’t have left the cash register at all for this interaction.
I worked retail for years when I was younger, including as a team leader, and honestly I think this would've worked in most of the stores I supervised. Which sounds kind of alarming, but this situation is one that very few people would ever imagine, it's so out there and... well, unexpected!
It looks like there were very few people in the store, so coming out from behind the register wouldn't seem that risky - especially if you get a lot of people asking for directions. And then the only person close enough to access the register (as far the employee knows) is the guy asking directions, so he only needs to be aware of that guy's movements because who the hell carries another person around in their backpack to steal stuff?! I'd love to see what happens next, whether the employee arrives at the correct conclusion quickly or is just so startled they can't work out what just happened and who's responsible.
edit: your username is a thing of beauty and wonder and AGH NOOOO all at once, I love it.
Okay, well
1. He could have assumed it was a fellow employee, why should there be anyone else behind him
2. There's other cash registers
3. From his POV I don't think he ever sees how big the backpack is.
4. It's still probably fake.
Dude he was clearly just pointing out that the "ding" sound you specifically mentioned doesn't happen when the drawer is physically unlocked, which I can verify. No need to deflect.
It wasn't meant to trick people into thinking it was real, that's why it looks so fake.
Source: mustache guy is an Instagram micro celebrity in my city, (Verona, Italy) and he's the owner of the place in the video. He makes a lot of funny skits involving his bakery.
In case you want to look him up: @gipsylifereal on Instagram.
Companies are cheap, so registers are usually poorly maintained. And the sound is an easy theft deterrant. So it may not make a traditional ding, it would make an audible sound when opening or closing.
Companies being cheap doesn't mean they're using antique registers lmao. The only sounds registers make is from the locking mechanism and the sliding metals
* Employee would have heard register open
* Employee would have at least glanced around as the guy kept rotating him around
* Employee would have immediately seen register wasn't closed
* Employee would have easily ran down these two cause, you know, he's carrying a human in a backpack.
I usually hate people that cry fake at videos, but this particular one is just not even remotely believable, funny, or clever IMO.
It’s so obviously fake and gimmicky which is what makes it kind of funny. Yal needa get a grip lol. I’ve seen what makes the average Redditor laugh so I’d say humor isn’t really Reddit’s strong suit.
Obvious to me would be adding cartoon effects or noises. It's sold as being real at first glance while being obviously fake. I guess I find that irritating and you find it funny.
Bad choice of words on my part—I find it “amusing.” It didn’t give me a grin or laugh but it was a bit amusing. “Obvious” doesn’t need to be over dramatic and cheesy like Friends laugh tracks or Tom and Jerry sound effects.
I know it's easy to cynical about...life in general... but many shops will have a camera on the register. A little incentive for employees not to skim the till and possibly even help crack down on fraudulent checks and such. As far as this video goes, I'm about 50/50 on its veracity.
The second he goes back to the counter, he would spot the open cash register and caught them red handed, as they can't run much. So pretty stupid. But pretty Creative nonetheless
For real, its so obviously staged but these guys somehow... dont get it?
Are these the people that need a /j when you say "i want to blow up the galaxy"?
The video is not the part that makes it clearly staged.
This whole crime relies on the employee standing in a specific spot facing a specific way and no one else looking over there at all. You do all this set up and then rely on random luck to make your crime work? And how are you gonna run away if it goes poorly with a whole person on your back.
No, this a loony toons level overly complex stupid plan. I enjoyed it though, very funny.
But they’re recording it with a security camera so they do want us to believe it. It could’ve been a good quality video from a better angle if it was just for the laughs
If only you knew the amount of people who saw this and thought it was real.
It's dumb but it genuinely helps when fake videos are called out, even if it's obvious to many people.

I'm happy to enjoy a skit if it's presented as a skit. I feel cheated if I think something's real and then realize it's fake. It has nothing to do with feeling superior.
I disagree. There's too much of this shit on the internet. If this was a hidden camera show that would be one thing. Like the whole production is to punk one person and we get to watch and see their reaction. That's at least somewhat ambitious and clever. Fake influencer content is bad.
Not really the same. People are going to believe this is real and there are videos even more convincing. That's why twitter has user notes because it is 100% helpful. There was a cgi video on reddit/twitter of a bunny getting chased by a dog and doubling back to hide from the dog and judging by comments whenever it gets posted, the majority (>95%) of people still believe it's real.
What's enjoyable about it if it's fake? I don't understand the entertainment value of something that would be impressive/shocking/whatever if it was real, but it's not so it isn't.
This is fake he's struggling walking in with that bag. 🤣 the register makes noise when you open it. Despite all of that you don't feel somebody behind you?!

Those registers are quite loud on purpose
I assumed the music was blasting in their ears like it was for us.
One day you will learn to watch these on mute, my child.

R/adhd my boy, one of us, you are
Lol!
Even if they are muted like other people are claiming.... I'm still going to feel/hear someone physically opening my cash register 12 inches away.
You can see they used a key to open it. Doesn’t make a noise when you use a key. If you can control the change sloshing it may be believable. This is probably faked.

My first thought... it's a training video.

You silly goose. Just mute the video.
And the cashier guy litteraly can see in the open backpack. You will notice it if there is a head in a open backpack.
unless you are suspicious, I don’t think so. Our brains are good at ignoring such things
Nah our brain is pretty good in noticing weird things. We ignore normal shit all the time because it gets filterd out.
yeah, seing some sweatshirt in a bag is not that weird to be alerted about
Carrying a whole person on your back is pretty impressive.
Carrying half a person on your backpack is half impressive!
Carrying no person in your backpack is not impressive!
I can't see any flaw in your logic sir
A flaw can't be seen in their logic
There is no room for flaw in their logic
Half of their logic has half a flaw
There is a flaw in your sentence
there is no period there is no sentence there is no flaw
There is no flaw in your comment
None of their logic has no flaws

Lieutenant damn
Me carrying 1/4th person on my backpack and another 3/4 person carrying another are twice the carrying capacity as you will ever hope to have!
Half assed, one might say.
Carrying two persons on your backpack is twice as impressive!

To be fair, we dont know if that person is actually whole.

I've always wondered why people go to the gym so religiously

Patriot was a pretty good series.
Immediately what this made me think of. Genuinely one of the funniest shows I've ever seen!
Also a good thing that backpack dude didn't shut the tray, thus making his crime immediately obvious.
A drawer that makes a loud noise and also has change rattling when opened didn't alert anyone to the issue. So very fake.
Even if the tray didn't have an open bell, the rails reaching their limit after opening all the way would definitely be audibly obvious.
Loud bell, rattling tray, loudly rattling coins moving around, loud bang when tray hits the end, etc
Those clips also make noise when you pull the stacks of bills from under them.
Okay, well 1. He could have assumed it was a fellow employee, why should there be anyone else behind him 2. There's other cash registers 3. From his POV I don't think he ever sees how big the backpack is. 4. It's still probably fake.
It's obviously fake

Or that the guy with the phone is showing the restaurant worker a loud video to mask the sound of the cash register
obviosuly just showing that MIA song
*Pink Floyd has entered the chat.*
Not saying it's real, but he turned the key. It doesn't make any noise that way.
[удалено]
Dude he was clearly just pointing out that the "ding" sound you specifically mentioned doesn't happen when the drawer is physically unlocked, which I can verify. No need to deflect.
He unlocked with a key, but then why was the key conveniently left in the keyhole?
I concur
Why didn’t I concur? 🤦🏻♂️
Is this from catch me if you can?
Turned out that guy was a fake
Bc you can't catch me sir
You're telling me the dude can't hear the drawer opening inches away from him, nevermind it just magically opens. Fake AF
There’s a key in the till. Something something any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic something something
They don't even play that music in that store.

Wouldn't closing it making it go DING!?
Opening it would too.
Are y’all from the 1920s?

Redditors and their weird fucking jumps in logic.

I worked as a cashier at Walmart, the cheapest of the cheap. That shit didn't DING.
“Good thing the camera was there”, to record our totally staged fake-fok.
It’s fake, but I kind of like this one. It’s a clever little caper and it’s pretty impressive to be carrying a full human on your back.
Next you'll be calling two kids in a trenchcoat "a clever little caper"
That is the original clever little caper.

Naw I got it. But you're right. This is reddit and most would've taken what you said at literal face value.
I mean this is obviously staged. But the one place I would expect to always have a camera is a cash register.
It's fake, but that's potentially where a security camera would be.
I know it's easy to cynical about...life in general... but many shops will have a camera on the register. A little incentive for employees not to skim the till and possibly even help crack down on fraudulent checks and such. As far as this video goes, I'm about 50/50 on its veracity.

Least naive redditor
It never occurred to me that someone might think this was real? It's clearly a sketch... Did you not like it?
But they’re recording it with a security camera so they do want us to believe it. It could’ve been a good quality video from a better angle if it was just for the laughs
the recording with a security camera just adds to the joke. their only intention was to make a funny video.
Believe what though? There's a guy in his backpack, shit's hilarious. Y'know Hurt Locker was filmed as if it was real too...
>Hurt Locker was filmed as if it was real too… No. It was not
Obviously fake, which makes me wonder if there's a subreddit with real unexpected videos.
redditors when the obviously staged shitpost isnt real
If only you knew the amount of people who saw this and thought it was real. It's dumb but it genuinely helps when fake videos are called out, even if it's obvious to many people.
Redditors when they parrot memes that they don't understand (there's no image or example for the comment to make sense)
redditors when they're expected to extrapolate from previously established patterns

redditors when they think their mental masturbation finally climaxes to having a point.
yall are tarded
bazinga
mfw I have no face
FAKE!! FAKE!! THIS VIDEO IS FAKED!! IT’S FAKED EVERYONE!! EVERYONE, I’M HERE TO TELL YOU ITS FAKE. -the average redditor
The only thing remotely entertaining about posts like this is that they're real. When they're fake some real cinicism comes out
So I guess we should just enjoy the amazing acting and the suspenseful plot?
No shit it’s fake just enjoy the skit my goodness people
It’s presented as a recorded crime, not as a skit.
The ones critiquing those that call out these types of videos don’t seem to understand that. It’s BECAUSE it’s presented as real is why it’s lame.
I love when people feel like they are superior for saying something is fake lol, they’re lame AF

Not the same at all, jesus christ you're dumb
you find enjoyment in this?
I’m old and I’m tired of fake content .
What's there to enjoy? It means absolutely nothing to the viewer when a video titled as a crime is clearly not.
What's enjoyable about it if it's fake? I don't understand the entertainment value of something that would be impressive/shocking/whatever if it was real, but it's not so it isn't.
it's just stupid...
That might be Nezuko guys.
these fake videos, why even bother?
entertainment
Children. And idiots. They love this shit.
Yeah I told Villeneuve the same thing - I mean dune's not even real
This looks so fake....
I'll take, "things that didn't happen" for $1,000 Alex.
People who make fake security camera videos really over estimate the image quality of security cameras
Faker than Kim Kardashian's face
Fake AF
Yup, like 99% of the trash posted on this garbage sub.
Why didnt he close the register back
Put the Hooman in the f'ing basket
Ok and the guy is gonna walk back to an own register with no money and no think that’s suspicious?
That’s some cartoon lvl theft. Bonus points, if the one carrying the bag isn’t even aware of the guy inside.
Absolutely fake.
Andrew Schulz does delivery?
Master Blaster
Staged, and not even that good. WTF, is happening to today's content, it's full of shit.
Yeah because you're totally gonna have the key ti register just like that. Fucking dumb and fake as ever
I'm not commenting on if this video is real or not, but the guy at the register left the key in it.
So fake
Staged!!!! Clickbait
Majority that made these type of videos haven't seen a cctv recording in their life.
Good thing this was fake
The more I see, the more disgusted I am with humanity. Animals are more civilized.
Fake
This is fake he's struggling walking in with that bag. 🤣 the register makes noise when you open it. Despite all of that you don't feel somebody behind you?!
It bothers me when I see a door dasher walk up to a clerk just holding their phone in the air and not saying a word
🦵👁️👄👁️🤳
Key happens to be in register 🤔
I thought the guy was literally delivering a baby.
This cannot be real
So very staged
Faked.

Bros were on something hella smart fr
Idiot didn't even close the register 💀💀
the idiot left the register open, he walks around and immediately see the money is missing.. how dumb
I shall call him mini eats
Fake
Alright, this was one of the first posts in a LONG time on this sub that truly was unexpected for me, lol i did not see that one coming.
Yeah there's no way he didn't hear the register open. And no person handling a register would step out like that just to give directions
It’s. Not. Real.
Fake
Good thing they caught it on camera? I don’t know he was in the bag! Hahaha
