The pictures have left internet users stunned, who were extremely curious to know about how the store functions and who operates it.
One user wrote, ''This is beyond genius.'' Another commented, ''This is just crazy and incredible at the same time.''
A third stated, ''I'd be absolutely terrified shopping here.'' A fourth wrote, ''Absolute amazing and my mind is blown. This is some real community shit right here because the owner of this shop is definitely not putting his life at risk to sell sweeties for himself lol.''
A fifth joked, ''And I thought my work commute was bad.''
Notably, the shop employees are professional rock climbers as well and the commodities they sell are transported to the shop via a special rope conveyer. According to China's CCTV media outlet, only one worker is stationed inside the box at any time.
