Viktoriya shared her story to 230,000 followers, saying she needs folks to “start paying with cash because I think people are really bad at math.”

Was a woman making Starbucks workers’ lives harder, or was she being “gaslit?” According to TikTok viewers, it’s the latter for a customer who went to pick up her mobile order only to be chastised for doing so. 

In a viral clip, TikToker Quela (@quela_fowler) films herself at a Starbucks drive-thru picking up an order she ordered through the mobile app. However, what was supposed to be a smooth interaction made her feel thrown off after a manager got “upset” with her.

A woman noticed a secret shopper next to her while at Target. Then, she was approached by an employee and asked to check out her items despite walking around the store like any other customer.

In a video with 65,000 views, TikTok user @myjaabaandz pointed out that a secret shopper was following her around Target and acting “weird.”

Finding an expensive product on sale is a win. One that is marked down to a penny? An almost unheard-of bargain. One Home Depot customer achieved this difficult feat by scoring a paint sprayer for just a penny.

@ticklesdealz has an impressive 21,000 following for posting content about “clearance deals, hacks, tips, and finds.” This time, he brings more than 38,000 viewers on a trip to Home Depot.

Over the years, companies have offered special promotions to engage customers in finding a specific item, code, or puzzle in exchange for prizes. Typically, a lucky winner can win the grand prize, which is usually money. After one woman attempted to redeem the $10,000 golden specialty Starburst grand prize, she was heartbroken to learn she was unable to claim it.

In a clip with 17.2 million views, Connecticut-based TikTok creator Kiya (@yeaathatskiyaa) films her mother holding a Starburst Original bar in plastic wrap from the 2010 Hunt For Gold promotion.

We all know a Bath and Body Works enthusiast: waiting for the next drop of special edition candles, who considers the semi-annual sales a holiday, and whose home is adorned with plug-in wallflowers. The company they revere, however, is being badmouthed by an alleged disgruntled ex-employee. According to them, the home fragrance brand is not as wholesome as it seems. 

In a viral TikTok, Taylor Clark (@taylor.clark112) “exposed” the so-called secrets Bath and Body Works “hides from you.” But how true are they? 

A customer has questions for Nabisco after purchasing a box of Nilla wafers from Walgreens and noticing that the product seems to have dipped in quality from the version we knew and loved in our youth.

In a viral TikTok, Heather (@heatherfishcreations) says she paid $6 for the box of cookies at Walgreens, which she admittedly probably could’ve gotten for less elsewhere. However, she wanted to do a quick trip rather than a whole grocery run for her treat, so she opted for the convenience store instead and paid the higher price.

The absolute explosion of canned cocktails in the U.S. can’t be missed. You’ll see the ads online, and the shelves in any grocery store’s alcohol aisle are packed with names like Cutwater, High Noon, and Golden Rule.

And while they aren’t exactly cheap—most canned cocktails average between $3 and $6 a can—they’re still more affordable than the $10+ cocktails you’d pay for at a bar.

If your dryer stops working, you might want to ask yourself: When was the last time it was cleaned? After one woman’s Samsung dryer bit the dust, she decided to investigate and was appalled by what she discovered. 

What’s inside this Samsung dryer?

An experience an author and a babysitter had in a Target has women everywhere agreeing that women have to look out for one another.

Children’s author Jerrica L. DeLaney (@j_o_jones) says in a TikTok that she stepped in to rescue a stranger from a man who was “harassing” her in Target. She was so concerned for the girl that she followed her to her babysitting job.

If you’re like me, you’ve got a color that you buy everything in if it’s available. For many people, this extends to cookware, especially if we’re talking about the high-end French brand Le Creuset. Known for its colorful enameled cast iron cookware, the brand inspires several customers to pick a signature color for all their cookware, creating a unified aesthetic for their kitchen.

Well, one TikToker thinks you should turn this practice on its head—if you’re bold enough, that is.

One woman explains to 236,000 viewers how masquerading as a customer at Old Navy earned her a $200 paycheck in one day.

“Today, I am gonna get paid $200 to shop at Old Navy. So, let me tell you how I’m gonna do it,” TikToker Shalyn (@shalynkay) says.

A server recently revealed that she received a paycheck for $0. People are blaming her.

Lucy’s (@lucybb14) check shows that she worked 73 hours as a server and 4.5 hours as a bartender. Her hourly wage for waiting tables was $2.13; for bartending, it was $5.15. This adds up to a roughly $180 check, all of which went to pay taxes and other withholdings.

A shopper at Walmart checkout taps one star on the customer feedback screen—something they say they “always do.” It’s petty, relatable, and strategic, according to thousands of commenters.

The clip from Florida-based creator @killintimecastinlin has been viewed more than 1.3 million times. It has also received considerable attention due to the potential impacts he and other one-star diehards can have on Walmart workers’ job security.

The age of free water at Starbucks is no more. In January, Starbucks rolled out several changes per the new CEO’s aim to “return” to the old Starbucks. Several–both customers and employees–were opposed. One of the most divisive changes, however, has been about Starbucks’ free water policy. 

A United States Postal Service Worker found out the change the hard way after walking into the coffee chain for some water, only to be sorely disappointed. In a viral TikTok, USPS worker @melaninglowesthetics shares her disbelief with over 737,000 viewers, sparking controversy around Starbucks as a whole.

A woman on TikTok says she was harassed while sharing a Southwest Airlines flight with a man she had just met. The reason? She didn’t talk to him despite his constant pestering.

Megriella Moose (@megriellamoose), a TikTok creator with more than 13,000 followers, shared her experience with a man who persistently tried to talk to her on a flight. He attempted to convince her to order an alcoholic drink despite her repeated efforts to ignore him. Moose texted her family to let them know she felt uncomfortable, but said she didn’t believe he meant any harm at the time, referring to it as a “yellow alert.”

A man who ordered $80 worth of edible arrangements for his partner’s birthday received a big, fat plate of zilch when the day came. As if that wasn’t enough, they say the store no longer exists–and Edible Arrangements is doing nothing about it. 

In a viral clip, the birthday boy in question shares his and his partner’s experience with
Edible Arrangements, an Atlanta-based company specializing in fresh fruit bouquet offerings.
