In the six-second clip, TikTok user Kayla (@kaylaflinderss) revealed a shopping cart filled to the brim with items. Then, she panned to her Zebra grocery scanning device, which showed that she had shopped 52 out of 72 items.

The TikToker then showed that the order needed to be completed by 7:12 p.m., and it was 6:26 p.m.

“This shit should be illegal,” Kayla wrote in a text overlay. She paired the text with audio of a woman saying, “pick somebody else,” to express her feelings about fulfilling the order.

Despite the audio and text, Kayla does not seem upset about the large order. She wrote in the caption, “i’m too quick with it.”
