By Erick León

Norway.— A customer was locked inside Coop Extra in Melbu when the store closed Saturday and used a local Facebook group to seek help, VG reported October 25.

The person had arrived shortly before closing and found the checkout unattended. A photograph and message were used to contact staff; about half an hour later, an employee arrived, took payment for the shopping and let the customer out.

The manager expressed regret, and the incident ended without further problems.
