“We Bought Too Much”— Entitled Tourists Returned $200 Worth Of Vacation Groceries, And The Internet Lost It

I’ve seen some bold behavior at grocery stores, but this one might take the overpriced, organic cake. A Redditor shared a story from their shift working near a customer service desk, where they watched a woman roll in with a fully loaded cart. Like, $200 worth of picnic supplies.

She asked for a refund because she and her family “bought too much” while visiting Yellowstone. We’re talking unopened hummus, fancy cheeses, deli meats, mayo, mustard, the works.

Here’s the Story That Sparked the Outrage

And yes, the store gave her the refund. All that food had to be marked “do not sell” and tossed because no one knew how long it had been unrefrigerated.

It’s lazy. It’s wasteful. It’s peak tourist entitlement. And apparently, this kind of thing happens all the time.

Naturally, the replies didn’t hold back. Most people were just as baffled and annoyed. Keep scrolling for the collective internet eye roll.
