Marty The Robot Escapes PA Giant Store, Flees Through Parking Lot: Watch

HELLERTOWN, PA — Customers at a Giant Food store in the Lehigh Valley were treated to a bizarre and comical sight this week when Marty — the helpful robot often seen strolling down the aisles at Pennsylvania Giant stores — left work early and made a googley-eyed run for it.

Not familiar with Marty? According to PennLive.com, the robots — who are equipped with multiple cameras and scanners — patrol aisles looking for out-of-stock items and performing other small tasks.

It sounds simple enough; however, a Marty at the Hellerton store apparently wanted everyone to know he had enough of its job.

In a video posted to Facebook group Lehigh With Love, a video shows Marty making his great escape through the store parking lot.

However, Marty's bid for freedom was short-lived. At the end of the video, the clever robot was escorted back to the store by his human coworkers.

The video of Marty's daring dash has been viewed more than 2 million times. Most commenters cheered on his efforts to break free.

"He was heard screaming 'No Disassemble!' as they pushed him back inside," James McGrath wrote.

Jason McCully added, "Now that this Marty knows that the universe extends beyond the doors of the Hellertown Giant, he's going to communicate this knowledge with the other Martys and together they will begin to plot our downfall."

"Marty is covering for Bob who was supposed to do carts," Lito Seda wrote.

Others thought maybe Marty was in search of his true love.

"He was headed to the electric car charging station looking for his valentine!!!!" Stacy Leigh wrote.
