Shopper serenades cashier with a bottle of hot sauce

According to Mzansi, the hot sauce is saucy here...

Valentine's Day may be over, but love is still in the air – and what better way to celebrate than with music?

Love doesn’t follow a schedule, and some of the most unforgettable declarations happen in the most unexpected moments.

One bold young man in KZN took this to heart when he turned a routine trip to a mall meat store into a grand romantic gesture. 

As the cashier rang up his order and waited patiently for payment, he surprised her by pulling out a Nando's hot sauce bottle and breaking into song.

This was no ordinary customer interaction, and the cashier's confusion was understandable – especially since he seemed to be lip-syncing rather than actually singing. And let’s not forget, it all came out of nowhere.

Viewers were hooked, eagerly waiting to see what happened next. 

Did she keep a straight face through the serenade? 

Did he pay for his items? 

Or was this an elaborate ploy for free goodies?

Who knows? What we do know is that people loved the moment, celebrating the fun-loving spirit of South Africans and how laughter is often the best kind of medicine.
