“Well, there’s two little buttons on the side.Like, does he not see those?” one bystander said just seconds before the workers cracked the code.
When the stroller finally collapsed into the flat position, the waiting crowd erupted into cheers and applause for the workers on the ground.
“Staff are there to help manage the process.”
Laurie warned that because every stroller is different, there’s no guarantee the staff has encountered that particular product before to ensure they can collapse it without damage.
