A TikToker worked a full shift at a Kroger store for free, until she was caught by a manager.
The creator, called Madison, is growing a following by performing boundary-pushing stunts.
In a recent video, she entered a Kroger store in Indianapolis and got to work, and said she wasn’t discovered until closing time.
The employee and manager caught me this time 😭 @OLIPOP #olipoppartner
“I got there at 3:30 ready to rumble,” Madison said, alongside clips of her pushing trolleys and re-stacking products.
She said she was there until about 10 p.m.
One of Madison’s first acts at the store was helping a customer whose coupon wasn’t working. “I just paid for his entire cart,” she said.
Then, she “organized shelves, helped more customers, and bought snacks to put in the break room” for her coworkers.
“I’m not leaving until I’m CEO of Kroger,” she said.
Madison also cleaned surfaces and rearranged shelves before she was caught, she said. Her footage showed brief glimpses of these moments, as well as her in what looked like an employee break room.
Some people commented on the post saying they were employees at the store and saw her there.
One person named Cat said it was her voice heard over the tannoy at one point in the video “doing the closed announcement.”
Another commented saying she was friends with one of the staff in the store, who had been texting “her whole shift about” Madison.
“Aww she was nice!!” Madison replied. “Tell her she’s my favorite coworker now.”
Madison appeared to get rumbled, though: a staffer figured out Madison didn’t work there after recognizing her from a similar stunt she filmed at Target.
I worked at a random target store for free! @OLIPOP #olipoppartner
Madison tried to deny it was her, but the staffer told their manager.
“I packed up my things and continued working at a different aisle, but the manager still managed to find me,” she said.
Madison said the manager told her that working at Kroger for free was “not allowed because of the labor and union laws.”
“The store was about to close so I had to go home anyway,” she said.
“This was my first and last day working at Kroger for free. Best six-and-a-half hours of my life.”
Business Insider has reached out to Kroger for comment.
