A woman walked into an ice-cream parlour wearing nothing but underwear so that she could use her dress as a face mask to be served.
The maskless customer stripped off and strolled into the shop dressed in a white bra and pants and clutching her dress in her hand.
In an unusual approach, she then tried to tie the dress around her face to use it as a mask when she was ordered to wear one.
The episode was captured on CCTV in Godoy Cruz, in the western province of Mendoza, Argentina, at around 10.40pm on New Year's Day.
A father and his three daughters are seen standing at the counter to place their order when the half-naked woman walks in.
In the clip, the man is able to get served despite wearing a face mask slung below his nose.
But the woman is told to put on a mask and tries to wrap her dress around her nose and mouth in a bizarre protest.
She reportedly told staff members: “Don't ask for my face mask, I'm putting it on.”
Following her stunt, she is refused service and walks out the shop leaving others to continue their order.
The woman was one of 11 people who arrived at the parlour without face coverings, reports Cronica.
The media outlet said the group were eventually able to buy 11 ice-creams after somebody managed to get hold of a mask.
Argentina currently requires people to cover their nose and mouth with a face mask or other garment in indoor and outdoor public spaces.
Face masks can be removed if people keep a two-metre distance between themselves and others.
