A Walmart customer used the intercom to ask for help and became an internet sensation after he posted a video of his ingenuity Friday and it went viral over the weekend.
Forrest Hunter used the intercom at the Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, Walmart when no one came to help him get his hunting license. In the video he posted to Facebook, Hunter can be seen picking up the telephone to announce on the intercom, “Customer needs assistance in sporting goods please? I’m the customer.”
Later, Hunter explained to WKYT what happened next. “A guy walked up and asked if I needed any help. I said, ‘How’d you know?’ Then I bought my hunting license.”
The associate was a bit embarrassed, Hunter said, but he was not reprimanded for using the intercom and was helped.
The video has been viewed nearly 3 million times and shared 52,000 times on Facebook as of Wednesday afternoon.
Hunter titled the video, “When you get sick of waiting on somebody at Walmart.”
Twitter users were impressed by Hunter’s initiative.
