A Walmart customer’s discovery about its shelves has TikTok in shambles.
In a viral video with over 28,500 views as of Monday, user @guild.tv shared the discovery with viewers.
Allegedly, the store used its own goods to hold up shelves.
“The beanzzzz holding the shelf up in Walmart,” text overlaid on the clip read.
Walmart unstable shelves
In the video, the TikToker captures what appears to be unstable shelves in the chips aisle.
The man explains that the store is using beans to hold up its shelves.
He zooms in on several different items that appear to be used to stabilize the shelf.
“Bro, they got the beans holding up the shelf,” she said while recording.
To show that the beans were literally being used as the shelf’s support, he demonstrates what happens when he tries to pull out one of the cans.
“Oh [expletive]!” he exclaims when the shelf almost comes crashing down.
Walmart’s shelves recently trended on the TikTok, but for another reason. One woman’s viral post revealed an easy way to get heavy items down from the back of high shelves.
Another customer went viral after calling out the store for having moldy cheese stocked on its shelves.
