Supermarket employee uses soccer juggling skills to save item from ground

This is one of the smoothest things ever done in a supermarket, apart from getting through self-checkout without hassle. This employee in a Brazilian supermarket was carrying a bit too much in his arms, and one of the items he was carrying fell. But before it hit the ground, the guy saved it by doing some slick soccer juggling tricks, and the item landed right back into his arms.

A few things about this:

1. It’s remarkable how this guy did it so smoothly. It’s like it’s happened to him so many times before that he taught himself how to spot objects falling from his arms — like he told that item, “Oh, no you don’t!” and then muscle memory kicked in.

2. I also think he did this on purpose. This was security cam footage, and he did it right in the center of the frame. It’s almost like he knew the sweet spot where he can soccer juggle at the checkout line.

3. I bet there are many more employees at the store who do this — like, this in itself is a sport, and there’s an external hard drive full of videos of employees fake-dropping items and saving them with their soccer skills. And they have a scoreboard keep track of how many customers they impressed that day. The winner gets free produce for a week. This is a weird supermarket I’ve imagined in my head. I’m sorry.
