Commotion at President Hyper leaves management stunned
Staff could not believe their eyes after an hour-long stakeout at President Hyper revealed something quite alarming.
Staff of President Hyper could not believe their eyes around midnight last night after the general manager had instructed that the hypermarket’s lights be switched on.
A series of events over the past six weeks during which the hypermarket’s alarm system was activated around midnight every night, led to an investigation.
Security officers responding to the alarm activations were unable to find the reason for it going off.
The general manager, Tony da Silva, in conjunction with local police detectives drew up a plan of action to find the root cause of the alarm being activated in the fruit and vegetable section of the store.
Da Silva had high-tech body-heat detection sensors and cameras installed, hoping to catch the perpetrators who activated the alarm.
After staff started noticing that fruit had disappeared from the shelves overnight, they got into the habit of counting the fruit at closing time each night after all the customers had left. This led them to the discovery that exactly seven kiwi fruits go missing each night.
After installing the cameras and sensors, Da Silva picked up something very alarming.
Whoever entered the store at around midnight moved through at around 19km per hour. The body-heat sensors picked up a heat signal of around half a metre in length.
With no other options left, 12 staff members decided on a stakeout in the store last night, all equipped with head lamps and dressed in camouflage overalls.
At exactly midnight, Da Silva yelled, “Switch on the lights”. They could not believe their eyes.
In the middle of the floor in the fruit section were seven kiwi birds each tucking into a kiwi fruit.
Da Silva and the rest of the hypermarket management believe the birds could have hidden in the crate of kiwi fruit that was shipped to President Hyper all the way from Christchurch, New Zealand.
“We are in the process of repatriating the seven kiwis to New Zealand. We are happy to report despite the loss of stock, the kiwis are happy, healthy and in safe custody,” Da Silva concluded. After doing some research, Da Silva believes the birds only appeared after midnight because their internal body clocks are still on New Zealand time.
