Her text over the video reads, “I’m over it. I can’t afford to be alive.” The TikTok started with Jessica recording inside the store as she said, “I think Goodwill forgot goodwill,” as she indicates that people who come to the store expect to get affordable items.

The TikToker took a pair of sweatpants as she asked viewers if they remember when they went to Goodwill, and the sweatpants cost $7.99.

She added that some people’s parts have already been in it and still they cost this much. Jessica says, “Some man’s b****, farting have been in it, and you want me to pay $8?”

The user also tells viewers how thrift stores have hundreds and thousands of items donated which means the store did not need to upcharge customers.
