Lasizwe’s funny take on cashiers

- ENTERTAINM­ENT REPORTER

LASIZWE is at it again, this time poking fun at the country’s essential services workers, grocery store cashiers.

YouTuber Lasizwe Dambuza seems consistent in his quest to deliver the much-needed laughter, especially during lockdown.

In his latest skit, the star is seen imitating cashiers from three popular grocery stores, leaving tweeps in stitches.

The first segment sees the cashier, being polite to the customer, sterilisin­g the surfaces and her hands before assisting. She even sanitised the customer’s grocery bag.

In the second part, the star is total opposite. He plays a rude cashier who chews gum while shouting at the customer for using the sanitiser in the store.

Fans are having a field day as Lasizwe reminds Mzansi of important health measures such as physical distancing, what to do when you sneeze in public and most importantl­y, for people to stay at home in an effort to flatten the curve. At the time that the story was written the video has more than 120K views and was ranked number three on the YouTube trends page in South Africa at the time of writing.

“Teller: why you not staying home? Customer: do you think essential goods will fall from the sky... This whole video is

Gold? thanks for keeping us sane during this time,” said one of his subscriber­s.
