5-year-old racks up R40k Checkers Sixty60 order

If your kids get their hands on your phone, make sure your online shopping apps require a PIN at checkout.

Shopping online offers convenience and relief for those juggling busy lives, and the sheer number of Checkers Sixty60 drivers weaving through KZN’s residential areas proves just how well the service works.

It spares people from the awkwardness of borrowing a cup of sugar from their neighbours – especially if they are bad neighbours. Beyond that, Checkers Sixty60's ease and efficiency make it a game-changer for everyday shopping.

Well, except when your child develops a taste for the finer things in life.

One Durban dad recently shared a hilarious video of his Checkers Sixty60 order, and let’s just say, it looked like he was still in full festive-season mode.

In the video, the dad scrolls through the Checkers Sixty60 order, revealing an impressive haul: a Sony PlayStation 5, a gaming steering wheel, a Skullcandy headset, an Xbox console, and more.

The order was said to have been racked up by his five-year-old, which is surprising considering we didn't realise that many kids this age knew much about gaming technology; boy, were we wrong there.

The checkout total was a handsome R39,681.85, with a grand saving of R800. Thankfully, the order was not checked out, which meant the dad didn't have to pay.
