A TikToker says a man entered a New York City Sweetgreen and threw multiple salads onto the floor during a spontaneous meltdown.

In a TikTok posted on March 15, @mayoketchup shows the floor of a Sweetgreen location covered in salad and cardboard salad bowls, which she says were thrown by a man who entered the store and began making a mess.

“All of a sudden, this guy just comes into Sweetgreen and just starts throwing, just grabbing and throwing every salad that he could find to the floor,” the TikToker says in her video. “For reasons I still don’t know.”

In her video’s caption, @mayoketchup called the incident “Sweetgreen madness.” On Thursday, her TikTok had been viewed over 2 million times.
