"Don’t buy chapsticks in boxes…. Only plastic wrapped." A CVS shopper accused a woman of using an intimate item in the store and then putting it back on the shelf, in a now viral video.

In the TikTok video, which has surpassed 256,000 views, the user Zebedee (@Zebedee679) shared his experience and then captured the incident involving a woman he deemed to be acting inappropriately.

“Check this out, I’m at CVS and this girl went in the CapSticks, put the ChapStick on her lips and then put it back on the box,” he began in the clip. “There go the box right.”

The man then cut away to a shot of the line at the pharmacy, where several other shoppers were waiting for assistance.

“There, bam,” he said, zooming in on a woman wearing a flower dress. “Come on man, you opened a ChapStick put it on your lips, and put it back on the damn shelf: That’s sick.”

Upon notifying an employee regarding the situation, the individual chose to face the woman directly. He grabbed the lip balm box, following the employee's confiscation, and approached her.

“They might want to pay for this,” the man said while putting the lip balm on the counter in front of a cashier assisting the woman and a man she was with. “She opened it. She put the ChapSticks on her lips, then she put it back in the box and put it on the shelf.”

The man then called her behavior “sick” and walked away.

Was speaking up the right move to make?

In the comment section, numerous people praised the individual's choice to confront the woman.

“Bro, believe it or not,” user Razerockrazerock wrote. “What you did right there took a lot of courage and it’s a blessing to know that they’re still good people in this world. Thank you and God Bless.”

“Thank you for speaking up!” user Erika wrote.

Others took the video as a warning about purchasing boxed ChapSticks.

“Ok noted!” one user wrote. “Don’t buy chapsticks in boxes…. Only plastic wrapped.”

Content creators have utilized TikTok to expose customers for inappropriate actions previously. A woman became an internet sensation after capturing a shopper taking her shopping cart filled with groceries without her. Another customer caused a discussion when a video showed her pouring the contents of one laundry detergent bottle into another, and then returning the less full bottle to the shelf.

Many have also taken to message boards in the past to ask if they could get in trouble for trying an item in a store and putting it back on the shelf.
