But bars of chocolate were seen tumbling out of it onto the pavement.

A third Tesco employee then began picking them up off the ground.

One of the male supermarket staff indicated that there were security cameras outside.

An onlooker, who filmed it on his mobile phone, said: “It’s going off.”

He then laughed as one of the supermarket employees lobbed the black bag down the road.

He added: “Ah s*it.

“Insanity.”

The 48-second video, filmed outside the Tesco store, in South Wharf Street, Paddington, central London, then came to an end.
