An elderly man caused a ruckus at a Florida Walmart after trying to get in without a face mask.

A video posted to Twitter shows the man marching up to the Orlando store and a masked employee stepping in to try and stop him.

The employee puts his arm out across the doorway in an attempt to keep the man out, but the old man starts to shove him.

The elderly man used such force to push that he fell from his efforts.

But this did not deter him, as he continued into the shop with the employee jumping in front to try and keep him out.

The old man continued down an aisle with the worker in hot pursuit saying "everybody has got to wear a mask".

The person filming the video has a running commentary saying "you gotta wear a mask bro, you gotta wear a mask" and laughing.

Eventually a second worker had to step in to get the man to exit the store.

The video has already had over two million views, more than 20,000 shares and 48,300 likes since it was posted on Sunday.

In Orlando it is recommended people wear masks when in public, after another spike with almost 3500 new cases last Thursday, local news sources report.
