No shirt, no shoes, no warm-blooded thermoregulation, no service.

A man captured footage of an alligator taking an early-morning stroll through the parking lot of a Publix in the Sunshine State.

In the extremely Florida video, which Luke Vidal posted on Facebook, the gator can be seen ambling across the parking lot at a relaxed, slow-and-steady pace.

“Just a gator crossing the grocery store parking lot...🐊,” Vidal captioned the clip.

He said it happened at 6:45am on April 16 at the North Forty Myers location of the grocery store.

Despite being out of its element, the gator looks calm as it creeps on the lot before sunrise, with a bright Burger King sign glowing in the background.

The reptile must know tax season is here — near the end of the clip, it can be seen approaching an H&R Block sign.

“Why wait? File now,” the sign read.

Don’t worry, buddy. The deadline’s been pushed back to May 17 this year.
