Forgot medicines at chemist shop
In the video, Dominika explained that she had bought medicines from a chemist but forgot to put them in her bag before leaving the shop. She returned four days later, unsure whether the packet would still be there.
“4 days ago I bought some medicines in a chemist and I just forgot to just put them to my bag, and I left there in this chemist. And now I’m going after these 4 days to check if they are still there. I mean, it’s not their fault, my father forgot to take them, so just let’s see if still they are there,” she said in the clip.
The video then shows her entering the shop and asking about the medicines. “A paper bag which you just packed…” she said. The shopkeeper immediately responded, “Yes, yes, yes!” After receiving the packet, she thanked him and walked out of the store visibly happy.

‘I just love India for this’

Uh… you know, it’s so much shocking for me. Like, India is such a big country, is so much populated also, and still like after 4 days I just came there and this things were waiting for me. Wow,” she said.
She shared the clip with a caption that read, “I just love India for this. I bought some medicines and I forgot to put them to my bag, I left them in the chemist. As I wasn’t in town, I went to collect them after 4 days and I really didn’t expect this will happen. My medicines were kept on the side, waiting for me. I’m shocked that in such a big country like India with so much population, still such things are happening.”
