These were the amusing scenes in a grocery store in Georgia where a prankster dupes people by appearing to take their items from baskets and trollies.

Filmed on February 19, the reactions of shoppers can be seen in a humorous light as the joker picks and chooses products from their baskets.

The filmers jokingly described the incident: "Sometimes, when we're just about to pay for our groceries, we realise we forgot to buy something.

"But why go back and look for it, when the customer behind you has exactly what you need?"
