Aldi staff have stepped in to explain why a car in their car park was left wrapped in clingfilm after the unusual sight was spotted by a shopper. Paul Hart was visiting the store with his son, when he spotted the wrapped car in his rear-view mirror.
The 33-year-old told the ECHO: "I was just waiting with my son in the car and as I looked in the rearview mirror to check on him. I was shocked to see this car completely wrapped up in cling film. I genuinely had to look twice, I couldn't believe it."
The sight attracted attention in the busy supermarket. Paul added: "It was just so random to see a vehicle in the middle of a busy car park just sat there wrapped like it was. So bizarre."
Paul shared a picture of the car on Facebook in the hopes of an explanation. With some speculating the move could have been an early April Fool's prank.
One person said: "April fool's prank? So foolish they didn't look at the date?"
It appears the clingfilm wrapping is a tradition for departing members of staff at the supermarket. The owner of the car shared a Facebook post of their own, along with an image of the car.
The caption reads: "Going to miss working with this bunch, it has been a pleasure working with you all. Thanks for putting up with me."
