He just wanted a midnight snack: Bear wanders into a California grocery store, grabs a bag of Tostitos then sits down and eats them by a trash can

  • Adina Baidoo had been shopping at a Lake Tahoe, California, Safeway when she encountered the brown bear on Tuesday
  • The bear paced throughout the store before grabbing a large bag of Tostitos chips
  • It sits right outside the store and eats the bag of chips 

 Everyone occasionally craves a late night snack. 

A woman stopping at a Lake Tahoe, California, grocery store captured the wild moment when a large brown bear stopped by to grab a bag of chips. 

‘So there was this woman walking out of Safeway and almost into a bear…. that was me… I’m the woman,’ Adina Baidoo, the woman who captured the encounter, said in a Facebook post.

The bear didn't seem bothered by employees in the grocery store

In the brief clip, Baidoo walks towards the store and shows that the bear is inside. 

Someone honks as she gets too close, but she reassures the person that she won’t get too close. 

‘This bear… has gone into Safeway and has decided he’s going to go shopping,’ she shares.

Baidoo states that she had been driving earlier and was trying not to hit a bear, only to eventually run into one at the store. 

The brown bear retrieves a bag of Tostitos chips and heads out of the store, parking himself near the entrance. 

Acquiring his treat, the bear eats right from the bag as the clip comes to a close.
