Soon after the first batch of shoppers left the shade, another three individuals hopped into the shelter of the umbrella.

The group then made their way towards the station.

 

Since its posting, netizens were quick to praise the mall staff member’s thoughtful gesture.

Even though the distance between the mall and the Skytrain station is relatively short, the umbrella shuttle service demonstrates care for its customers.

However, some people asked if it would be better if the mall constructed a sheltered walkway, so the staff member would not have to walk back and forth many times a day.
