NYC woman walks into Trader Joe’s and rips open a whole case right off the shelf. She says workers told her she’s allowed to do this: ‘check the receipt’

A TikTok creator from New York City says she opens sealed multi-packs at Trader Joe’s and takes out single cans without buying the whole box. The video, posted by a user going by Jaeda (@jaeda_skye), has been viewed 1.1 million times and has more than 30,800 likes.
