Young Mom Unloads On Target Shopper Who Completely Emptied The Shelves Of Baby Formula

Young Mom Unloads On Target Shopper Who Completely Emptied The Shelves Of Baby Formula

Since 2020, we've all become regretfully familiar with item shortages and the need to grab what we need whenever we see some on the shelves.

But the internet mostly agreed that does not mean we completely clear the shelves, leaving nothing for other shoppers.


Two mothers couldn't agree about that earlier this month, according to a video recorded in Massachusetts and posted by @chopnedits on TikTok.

The mother who filmed the video had just entered the baby formula aisle, greeted by completely empty shelves, except for a few cans of a formula that her baby couldn't use.

There was another woman in the aisle who had completely filled the bottom of her cart with tall cans of pre-mixed formula, which generally have about four servings of formula in them and need to be utilized in 24 to 48 hours after opening the can to ensure the product stays fresh for the baby.

The videographer approached the other mom and tried to reason with her about putting some of the cans back on the shelf for other mothers who needed formula for their babies, including herself.

The other mother didn't seem to get it and simply said:

"You could have asked if you wanted some and not caused a scene."

But the woman filming said:

"I have a baby at home to feed, and you're over here clearing the shelves."
"You don't think I need it too? You just cleared the shelves of all this formula."
"This is the whole reason why there's a formula shortage."

You can watch the video:

My younger sister, first time mother… and this is the crap young mothers deal with. #youngmothers #roevswade #formula

Some TikTokers theorized that the woman was going to resell the formula in her cart.

Others thought the woman should be considerate and leave some formula for other moms.

But a few said they would not be thinking of other people's children during a formula storage.

Most of TikTok could agree that even if the other mother wasn't causing the formula shortage personally, she was at least contributing to the panic that often surfaces when consumers are faced with empty shelves.

Just like when people couldn't find toilet paper and other important essentials at the start of the pandemic, people are less than likely to stay calm when they can't provide for their families, especially when there's a baby at home to feed.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
