The video features a retail employee who effortlessly plays a Nintendo Switch game while standing at the counter. The unique aspect? He does it all with the joy-cons hidden in his hoodie pouch, out of sight from the store cameras.

This creative employee has earned the title "Employee of the Month" not just for his work ethic but also for his gaming prowess. One commenter aptly remarked, "Employee of the month proves his title." Another added a personal anecdote, "While working at GameStop, a friend of mine would hide a Switch on the counter out of sight of the cameras and stick the joy-cons in a hoodie pouch."

The video has struck a chord with many people, especially those who work from home. One viewer humorously noted, "This is me working from home." Another imagined a conversation between the employee and his boss: "Boss: what are you doing just standing there? Him: Waiting to greet the next customer that comes in. Boss: .... okay."

The employee's skills have earned admiration from the Reddit community. "That's impressive. I struggle at the game with the controller in front of me," one commenter confessed. Another highlighted the difficulty, saying, "The definition of 'I’ll beat it with my hands behind my back.'"

Comments like "Smart and very skilled" and "That's some next-level multitasking. Impressive!" showcase the widespread admiration for the employee's abilities. One viewer even noted the practical benefits, "He is definitely fulfilling his role in enticing customers to view the projector at the store."

The video has also sparked a discussion about the versatility of the Nintendo Switch's joy-cons. "I love the Switch’s joy-cons because I can play with my arms in ridiculous positions," one user shared. Another viewer humorously pondered, "Why would he hide it though lol."

The community has also shared their own experiences with gaming at work. One commenter reminisced, "I used to do exactly this when I worked in a retail store on the tills. I’d play Mirror's Edge on the display PS3 from across the room with the controller behind my back when no one was needing to be served. Managed to complete it."

The video has even left some viewers curious about the game being played, "Anyone know what game this is?" Regardless of the game, the employee's multitasking and gaming skills have made a lasting impression.

In essence, this video is a testament to the ingenuity and skills of retail employees, proving that multitasking can sometimes yield impressive results.

The manager must be off that day. Retail managers never miss an opportunity to ruin something that isn't hurting the sales or store in anyway.
