A woman revealed how “minding her own business” saved her money because the cashier was distracted in a viral TikTok.
The video was uploaded by TikTok user Tenille (@prettybullyy) where she shared how she went to a beauty supply store to stock up on some items. As Tenille was checking out, she said the security alarm suddenly started blaring after a girl had set it off while walking out.
Tenille continued how the security guard demanded the girl empty her pockets, accusing her of stealing. Tenille claimed both she and the cashier watched everything unfold.
However, Tenille said the cashier was especially engrossed in the situation.
“I don’t know why people are stealing,” the content creator recalled the cashier saying as she scanned her items.
After paying for her items, Tenille said she decided to linger for a bit, wondering if the security guard was “about to get crazy on the little girl.” Once the altercation ended, she says she left.
While glancing down at her receipts, Tenille noticed that she was charged $7 instead of $70 for her items. She says she even checked her bank account and was charged $7.
“I got $70 worth of stuff for $7 because I was minding my business,” she concluded the video. “And the cashier was minding somebody else’s business.”
