‘How greedy, no wonder I can’t find them anywhere’ foodies fume as ‘selfish’ shopper clears Tesco shelves of viral snack
A MAN has been slammed and accused of being ‘greedy’ after clearing shelves in Tesco.
The young man, who is from the UK, stocked up on Tesco‘s newest bakery addition, but has since been met with a barrage of abuse for his ‘selfish’ actions.
The content creator decided to stock up on his new favourite dessert, the viral tear and share cinnamon buns.
The delicious bake, which costs £3.75, has been plastered all over social media since its release.
But after numerous inlfluencers raved about the tasty buy, it is rarely seen in stores.
Tesco bosses said: “Soft sweet bun with cinnamon filling, topped with soft cheese icing.
“Swirled with cinnamon filling and hand-iced for a sweet & sticky sharing treat.
“This delectable Cinnamon Tear & Share bun can be eaten hot or cold, and enjoyed with family and friends.”
And after spotting a stocked shelf of the cinnamon buns, this shopper made sure to carry as many as he could to the till, whilst cheekily sticking his tongue out.
But with 12 packs of the buns in his arms, the shopper has even been accused by his pal as ‘greedy’.
Alongside crying emojis, one social media shared a short clip online of his friend heading to the till in Tesco.
With his hands full of cinnamon buns, his friend remarked: “I can’t lie, you’re doing too much.”
And it appears that many foodies around the country have been left equally as angry by the man’s action.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @bwlifestyle1, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 657,400 views in just two days.

Insider tip from a Tesco employee
A Tesco employee has revealed a surprising secret about the self-scan trolleys.
According to the worker, random checks on customers using these trolleys are not entirely random.
The checks are actually triggered by a specific customer habit.
If you frequently pick up and put down items without scanning them, you’re more likely to be selected for a check.
This is due to the system detecting suspicious behaviour, which could indicate potential theft.
So, to avoid delays, it’s best to scan items immediately after placing them in your trolley.
Whilst someone else agreed: “Nahh this is too far.”
At the same time, someone else penned: “Naaaah at some point it’s selfish.”
Not only this, but another chimed in: “It’s Little Moons all over again.”
Meanwhile, one frustrated user questioned: “Swear these expire within three days?”
