Watch The 'Chillest Chip Shop Operator' Unfazed by Attempted Robbery in Christchurch

A man who calmly carries on making souvlaki while an armed gunman attempts to rob his Christchurch store is being hailed online as "the chillest chip shop operator ever".

CCTV footage posted by Canterbury police on their Facebook page shows the man bagging up a souvlaki when a masked and armed robber enters the Papanui Rd store shortly before 11pm on May 28.

Unfazed, the man finishes the order, reaching right past the offender to hand it to a customer.

He then calmly turns around and walks away.

The would-be robber then leaves as well without taking a thing.

Canterbury police posted the video on Thursday afternoon, asking members of the public to help them identify the gunman.

However people commenting on the post were more interested in talking about how relaxed the unidentified souvlaki-maker was through the whole ordeal.
