Transcript

Sam's Club cancelled our orders three different times. So we are in this tiny little town in the mountains, and we're gonna get all of the next four days. HA HA. This is so small town vibes is not even funny. Their fruit does like, all their food looks bad. I just looked at Lauren. She's like, I'm stressed out. I'm not out of Sam's. The media literacy crisis is showing with this creator that everyone's trying to cancel this week. Catherine, who apparently went on vacation for July to a small town and was belittling of a grocery store, of a grocery store the whole time. Lock in here and drop a follow cause I want to explain to you why with only like 30 seconds of background research, a lot of this sense to me. Classic, uh, influencer. But also, this is the first post that I find on your page of how you're celebrating isn't extremely clear. Of us made sure to do. Then I'm not really shocked that you have also posted a history of super insensitive things. And are now making fun of a small town. Although, hilariously enough, the entire supermarket completely normal supermarket. That's where most people were pretty confused. Like, we here in Minnesota have these on every street corner. Mind you, this one was probably smaller than your standard, but we've all grocery stores on vacation before. This was a strange reaction. So I went to look up where she's from, and while she does currently live in New York City, she actually was born and raised here in Minnesota, where we have these supermarkets everywhere. I was in this one literally yesterday. She also lived in Texas for a time, a place that I assume has supermarkets as well. But I also found this apparently deleted video back from January, February ish of her responding to everything that was happening here, if you remember. And it was very, uh, insensitive slash poorly delivered slash like, well, I just hope that everyone is safe. And very much so gave I was born, so people expect me to say something, but I'm gonna say almost nothing. It's not shocking, which is why it's not shocking you try to make it seem like this totally normal grocery store was beneath you. And also Sam's Club is the one you chose a pedestal. I don't know, none of that should have been shocking. I need everyone to start having some more media literacy and also have a very Hank. July weekend.
