A hilarious video of a seagull ‘shoplifting’ a sandwich from a general store is going viral. The clip shows the seagull seizing the moment and entering a grocery store through its automatic doors.

The clever bird then picks up a packed sandwich, but finds itself stuck inside the store. Luckily, a passerby notices the bird and steps in front of the store’s automatic door to trigger its opening.

Interestingly as the seagull makes its way out of the store a woman tries to get in its way, as if trying to stop the “theft” but leaves eventually. After getting out, the seagull proceeds to eat the sandwich outside the shop.
