After the employee gave Kody the item under the impression that he’d pay at the front, he approached an elderly lady and told her she had won the AirPods.
“It’s your lucky day!” he exclaimed. “You just won new AirPod Pros!”
Although the woman seemed a bit suspicious about her prize and wondered what she did to deserve it, Kody was able to convince her that it was legitimate.
Unfortunately, when she went to leave the store, the security system sounded, indicating that the product was being stolen.
In the comments, viewers defended the elderly woman, saying they “feel extremely sorry for that poor grandma.”
“That’s absolutely menacing,” another said.
However, some believe the prank is fake with one user writing that the AirPod box was already open.
