On the images captured by CCTV, the animal can be seen walking in front of the entrance and wandering towards the shop, before calmly passing through the first door.

Fortunately, a very alert staff member noticed the bear and quickly locked the second door, preventing it from going inside the shop. The scene could have ended there, but a customer pushed the first door without seeing the bear! The employee had just enough time to allow the customer to come in before the animal reacted. Close call!

The bearended up leaving without doing anyone any harm. However, he left without his bottle of booze... Poor guy.

How would you react if you were minding your own business, shopping for a dinner party and you saw a bear walk into the store? Remember the age old saying? Play dead!
