To one customer laden with goods he said: "You look like you've got a party coming up"
She replied: "No - pots to put me plants in."
One chatty shopper says: "He's from Cyprus, my family's from Greece but I was born in South Yorkshire." to which Milo replies "You are a wonderful tapestry, aren't you."
Another refuses the offer of a hug saying "with this covid I aint' sure of anything."
Welcoming one shopper he states: "We are wonderful value and easy maths."
Milo had been candidly filming the interactions for his popular Tiktok channel @Troy_Hawke which has over 520k followers.
