THIS is the bizarre moment manic shoppers scramble over the reduced aisle in Asda "like it's the apocalypse".
The footage shows shoppers shoving each other to grab items moments after they were placed on the shelves.
The video taken by Marcus Steel at the Asda store in Toryglen, Glasgow, last Wednesday has been viewed more than one million times.
It starts with a shop worker placing the goods on the shelf before she can be seen chatting with the impatient customers.
As she finishes, the stampede of shoppers barge their way through to grab as much as they can carry as the member of staff hurries away, breathing a sigh of relief.
And the person behind the camera can be heard laughing, before saying: "Brilliant."
Ten or more punters continue filling their baskets and trolleys as various items spill onto the floor.
But that doesn't deter the shoppers who swoop up the items.
Plenty of folk on social media criticised the reaction of the needy shoppers, with one saying: "It’s like flies around s***".
Another wrote: "Savages ffs you'd think it's an apocalypse! Tramps."
One laughed: "Brilliant, have to share this".
A fourth commented: "Is that you at the back waiting to pounce Marcus?"
