Morning shoppers at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson commissary near Anchorage had quite a shock on July 5, when a black bear sauntered into the grocery store to grab a bite to eat.

A viral video of the incident was posted to Facebook over Independence Day weekend. It shows a bear rummaging through a produce display and then laying down in the entryway to enjoy a peach.

The bear then strolled about the front of the store before walking out and being unable to reenter.

The commissary offers grocery items to Alaska military families on base.

Video of the bear was captured in a 30-second video that has gained widespread viewership over the last few days.

An Air Force official at JBER told the Tack & Purpose military news outlet that the bear swung by around 9 a.m. and eventually left through the automatic sliding doors, wandered across the parking lot and ducked into a nearby forest.
