One would assume that customers who shop and fill a grocery basket up with items would be able to afford said items in the cart. However, for one Food Lion customer, that wasn\u2019t the case. It wasn\u2019t that they didn\u2019t want the products they chose, like Gatorade, Ramen Noodles, lasagna dinners, and plenty more, it was that they weren\u2019t able to afford it. Sure, they had food stamps \u2014 but not enough, causing a Food Lion worker to shade the customer in a now-viral TikTok video. Food Lion customer filled three carts full of groceries they didn\u2019t take home A Food Lion employee by the name of Malik recently took to TikTok to expose a customer for not being able to afford their groceries. The video shows at least three full carts of food ranging from Hungry Man meals to assorted beverages and snacks like Rice Crispy Treats and Mott\u2019s Gummies. Though the customer wasn\u2019t revealed, Malik videotaped their receipt of food that they made him ring up, despite not taking a single item home. In the now-viral video, Malik opened with the commentary, \u201cThis y\u2019all, this is why\u2026 three carts full! They didn\u2019t even buy it and that\u2019s what makes me mad.\u201d Malik proceeded to explain that everything the customer had in their multiple carts had not even been rung up yet. He also captioned his video, \u201cI hate food stamp day,\u201d as the customer allegedly didn\u2019t have the cash nor food stamps to cover their groceries. Those who have seen Malik\u2019s video commented on their own shopping stories, saying, \u201cI\u2019m over here with my calculator out in the store making sure I don\u2019t go over $160 per week for four people with our 50-hour work week.\u201d While another asked the rightful question, \u201cHow do people not check their card balance before going to the store?\u201d One person even became nostalgic, remembering when three carts full of groceries used to cost roughly $300 instead of $1,000. Though news reporters from The Daily Dot reached out to Malik for comments regarding the large grocery haul, he has yet to make an additional statement separate from his TikTok video. However, the viral video has reached at least 1.1 million views with almost 3,000 comments regarding people\u2019s own grocery shopping and employee stories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grocery store worker shocked as customer buys $1,000 of groceries with empty food stamps card TikTok: ayeitslikA Food Lion employee took to TikTok to shade a customer for having him ring up over $1,000 worth of groceries without being able to afford any of it.
