Employees at a Novi, Michigan, Best Buy had an unexpected customer this week: a deer, which reportedly ran through the store’s front door.
The six-point buck entered the store at roughly 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Hometown Life reported.

Needless to say, it wasn’t a code word.
After bolting through the front door, the deer made its way to the customer service department before moving to the store’s appliance section, knocking over items on the way.

Customers were asked to wait in a break room as employees cornered the animal in the back of the store.

There was no damage and no one was injured during the incident, according to the news station.
“It was wild,” Ellison recalled.
