In a viral TikTok video shared by @henrywockstar, a group of young men experienced an unexpected twist during what seemed like a routine grocery run. The footage captured their bewildered reactions as the cashier dropped the bombshell total of R17 048.20 for their groceries.

The video begins with the young men patiently waiting to pay at the checkout counter of a local shop. Little did they know, their bill was about to skyrocket beyond their expectations and they kept on asking if the amount dropped usually when you buy groceries you provide a loyalty points card to the cashier to have some discounts. The cashier calmly informs them of the staggering amount owed, leaving the group visibly stunned.

Amid the shock, one of the young men steps forward to double-check with the cashier, seeking confirmation of the unexpectedly high amount. His inquiry reflects both disbelief and a determination to understand the situation.

The video quickly gained traction on TikTok, drawing a flood of reactions from viewers. One user commented, “This is Makro mos still painful nonetheless.”

Another pointed out, “4 trolleys, what would you expect? 1 full trolley is easily 7k at Makro.”

Another user added a perspective, “Many people are shocked that this is for groceries but find it normal when people spend the same at clubs.” Another TikTok user humorously remarked, “I had to look twice, 17k?? What did you guys buy…??”
