An HEB worker went viral on TikTok after he demonstrated a quick and efficient way of stocking sugar at a grocery store.

Featured Video

The video features user Carlos Banks (@moneybanks73) at a grocery store in the sugar aisle. Beside him are bags of sugars that are wrapped in plastic. Carlos says, “Mornings, guys. I want to show you something that my night crew gave me this morning. He then slides the packaged sugar on the empty shelf, proceeds to take out a box cutter, cuts open the center of the plastic, and removes the plastic by sliding it underneath the sugar.

One TikToker added, “As a manager in training at Kroger, I LOVE these educational videos! THANKS!”

Other users were less than enthusiastic, poking holes in the suggestion.

“It only works if the shelves are empty,” one person stated.

“Unless you get paid by hours,” another quipped.
