Have you heard about the trending eat-and-return scam?

She's now going viral for explaining the tactic on social media after going through an extreme example of it herself. See what she had to say in the TikTok video below.

Commenters are coming to her side with support suggesting ways to stop this behavior. Exposing them on social media is definitely one way that could stop them. Other commenters say a manager should have put an end to it after the 2nd return and that it was allowed to go on for way too long.

Have you seen this or had it happen to you?

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
