A DIY store had a visit from a furry four-legged shopper - and it seems it isn't the first time.
A customer in B&Q Gillingham spotted a squirrel running through the doors at the back of the shop and was able to capture it on camera.
The creature could have been popping in for some last minute Christmas decorations for his tree, but it's more likely he was attracted by the bird food.
In the video, the squirrel flits happily from one shelf to another in the bird care aisle of the superstore.
He isn't fazed by his surroundings and sits for a while to eat a fat ball. He even peeps over the edge of the shelf a few times and looks directly at the camera.
The shopper who filmed the video, who did not want to be named, was told the squirrel is a regular visitor.
He said: "I was at the back of the shop, near the garden centre entrance and when the automatic doors opened for someone, the squirrel came running in behind them. I followed him and got him on video.
"When I pointed it out to a member of staff I was told he regularly comes into the store.
"He got hold of one of the fat balls and then went up to one of the high shelves.
"He wasn't fazed at all. He was sat eating and was enjoying himself."
B&Q has been contacted for a comment.
