TikToker @millyg_fit was rebuked by numerous strangers after offering to purchase their groceries for them in the London Sainsbury store, eventually opting to buy some goods for a food donation bin.

It's becoming a popular trend to film yourself doing good deeds to get clout on the internet.

It's called performative kindness.


Amelia Goldsmith filmed herself trying to pay for patrons' groceries in a Sainsbury, London store,but she was turned down by every person she approached.

Goldsmith approached three different people and every one of them turned her down. The first man appeared to be angry at her offer, the second person turned her down instantly and the third told her there were people who were more deserving of her charity.

Goldsmith didn't want to leave the store without doing some act of kindness so she purchased some pasta and canned sauce and put them in the store's food pantry bin.

The comments on the video largely criticized Goldsmith.

It seems the consensus is filming the good deed and searching for someone to help in a wealthy neighborhood are not the best approaches to helping someone in need.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
