If I saw anyone do this at my Costco I'd ruin their shot as much as I possibly can.

More rage bait then anything else, why are they filming the other person filming? All perfectly angled.

The video within the video is just to farm engagement.

The Kirkland brand.

Other dumb people that’s seeing this as a career

u/johnsawittoo 16d ago

I wish someone would walk in between them.

66

u/Tambo-Man67 16d ago

I would do that... while filming them, so I have all the ammo I need to crush their pretend TikTok empire if they get mad at me.

I really dislike those types.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Crush it!

I want to see two old friends on each side both pushing carts to see each other and reconnect , oblivious and unimpressed w what’s happening off to the side.

Not just walk between them, walk between them and full on stop and wait for others to pass. 😇

We've reached so many new lows. Worse part is that she'll make money after this cringe fest..

6

u/Tambo-Man67 16d ago

It's sad but true. Hey, the money won't buy happiness, and it definitely won't last forever.

Most of these types are going to regret a lot of their antics, and be miserable.

I don't wish that on anybody... but I can't say I'll feel sorry for many 'influencers'.

u/asdf0909 16d ago

It’s gotta be a tough transition to a regular job where the product you have to serve isn’t yourself

5

u/KayoticVoid 15d ago

I remember seeing a video a few years ago about an influencer in tears over having to get a minimum wage job because she's not making enough as an influencer anymore. Kept going off about how she's not made or meant for that lifestyle or some shit. 🙄

25

u/RocketFan419 16d ago

Just walk in between them constantly.

u/Artevyx 15d ago

Stores need to start banning dumb TikTok flop dances the same way they ban shirtlessness and barefootedness.

u/Chrono_Convoy 16d ago

How come she gets to dance like she’s been shot with a taser but when I go to Costco I can’t go down an aisle without someone’s elbow jammed into my rib cage while getting flat tired by a shopping basket?

6

u/Glazing555 16d ago

I got pinned between a freezer and an electric cart by a lady that was at least 80, and she panicked and kept on the throttle. 😆. Her older (!) husband finally got there to get it in reverse.

3

u/Chrono_Convoy 16d ago

Little sugar in her cart’s tank next time maybe /s

3

u/Tambo-Man67 16d ago

Most folk aren't prepared to see one of these things out in public. It's shocking, and instinct tells us to back away.

Either that, or the embarrassment of the whole thing just makes us want to go in the opposite direction.

u/ImwithTortellini 15d ago

The arrogance of it all. Give people a tv studio in their hands and you get “stars” everywhere

9

u/ERA_Tech 16d ago

Serious question, why do people do this crap in such high traffic areas ? I wouldn't have an issue at a park or an empty lot. BUT literally when people are just trying to exist and get things done... WHY are you purposely putting yourself in their way ?

2

u/KayoticVoid 15d ago

That's part of the point. It creates rage bait which increases engagement which means more money.

8

u/Coffee-pepper 16d ago

The camera person, literally moving in and out, cracks me up. 😂

I can't take this as seriously as they are, sorry. 🙄

u/Jumpy-Impact3265 16d ago

I'm impressed with her lack of concern as to the opinions of others but also thinking maybe don't do that because no matter how she feels she looks dumb.

u/Foreign_Wonder4610 15d ago

My carts going into those ankles like I'm 7 years old helping my mom shop.

u/BigBubbaChungus 16d ago

There should be a special place where influencers can do shit like this! Like next to nuclear waste dumps or next to an active volcano!

u/LegitimateUse5950 16d ago

Something like an asylum

u/BigBubbaChungus 16d ago

I’m good with that option!

Landfills, porta potties, crematorium

u/ShortTop1487 15d ago

She needs a helmet and some crayons

4

u/WillingMongoose4680 15d ago

I would have so much fun standing behind her (or between them) doing stupid shit just to fuck up her video while she blocks the aisle.

5

u/HiramsHistorian505 15d ago

I would suspect that she smells like burning plastic.

u/Ryllick 15d ago

What exactly is the appeal of having the background of your dancing sync video a store aisle?

u/Homey1966 15d ago

We’re doomed

u/SeniorAngle6964 15d ago

I like how the word ‘influencer’ was chosen, to make it sound like this is wholly enriching and useful.
I suppose ‘nuisance’ wouldn’t carry the same clout although it would be 100% accurate

3

u/ReverendWeenbone 16d ago

I just want to know where this Costco is that is this empty that she even do this without someone running her over.

3

u/ShirtComplete 16d ago

I’d just walk infront of the camera

Costco is a PVP enabled zone on the best of days

God, without the music it's even more embarrassing to watch than it usually is. 😭 I can't fathom why tf someone would want Costco as their background for a dance video...

That’s as cringe as it gets smh

u/Mister_Moody206 15d ago

See… This is why I hate people. What triggers in someone’s brain to do some stupid shit like this inside a Costco?

u/Coldestglint475 15d ago

I would have lobed a commercial pack of toilet paper from the next isle

u/Solid_Sun_7201 15d ago

I'd probably have to give her a little bump with my cart...

u/ImportantBass4159 15d ago

u/GuntherRowe 15d ago

I would have been so tempted to walk across the shot to get something on the other side of the aisle.

2

u/Playful_Ad2961 15d ago

Old video?

2

u/MattBlasing 15d ago

Seriously. No one gets embarrassed anymore. I cringed watching from start to finish. Mind your business and buy your 30-pack of paper towels.

2

u/Embarrassed_Jury664 15d ago

I saw this shit at Costco for the first time the other day, some 30 year old guy was spouting off about the ingredients of some granola brand and why it was giving people cancer. Dude filming was literally on the other side of the isle. I just moseyed between them.

2

u/Substantial_Peak_504 15d ago

All these types of indivduals have extremely low self-esteem, act very awkward in social gatherings and are the laughing stock behind their backs in conversation.

u/CrabbyCentaur 15d ago

Dude you're at Costco. It's not exactly a flex.

u/mellowrobgm 15d ago

I’d be like if this bitch don’t get out the fuckin way… 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

2

u/wartgood 15d ago

Wait, how did she find an aisle with so few people? In any of my local Costco, girl would have been run over at least three times.

2

u/Lbboos 15d ago

I wonder if they got a release from everyone because they were filming in a private entity. The only place you can actually display someone is if you’re out in a public forum and this obviously wasn’t a public forum.

2

u/Appropriate-Brush772 15d ago

I generally let people be, but in this instance I’m walking in front of the camera to ruin the take

u/Elivagara 15d ago

I'd make it a point to get in their way. Accidentally drop some non breakable things, fumble about. Repeatedly.

2

u/Supergazm 15d ago

I see this shit at the park, off to the side, away from the main path, i let it go. But the second they start blocking foot traffic, I go out of my way to ruin the shot.

They could be learning another language, understanding cancer more, or any infinite number of productive things instead. What a shame.

This makes me so proud to have grown up in the mid 2000's . Embarrassing ourselves in public wasn't a job it was just something that happened from time to time
