A woman from Amanda, Ohio was called a “hoarding b****” after she bought groceries worth $1,100 (£850) at a supermarket.
Stephanie Ryhmer Whitaker headed to Costco to buy groceries and bought items worth $1,100 (£850).
When a woman noticed Stephanie and her $1,100 worth groceries, she mistook her for a stockpiler and called her a “hoarding b****”.
Stephanie has now shared a message to the woman who called her a “hoarding b****” while shopping at Costco.
She told that she was not buying for herself but for six families who are unable to go out to buy their groceries.
She shared pictures of the groceries she bought at Costco and wrote on Facebook: “I’m a ‘hoarding a** b****’ according to the woman next to me at Costco.”
“I just rolled through there and spent $900 (£725) and then another $200 (£160) at another store. I didn’t clear a single shelf. “I didn’t take a thing from anyone. What I did was shop from a list.”

She urged everyone to stop assuming and be kind to people at this difficult time as not everyone who is buying in bulk is a stockpiler.
She said we don’t know anyone’s story and what they’ve been through so we should not judge before asking anything.
She added: “I came home, walked in the rain to take basics to my neighbors and then spent 3 hours in my garage sorting and packing into usable food boxes that can be dropped off on their doorsteps because we would 100% rather take a chance with our health if it means that they don’t have to.”
She told that she only bought trash bags, margarita mix, a bag of potatoes, a salad mix, a bag of coffee, and a case of beer for herself while all the other things belonged to the six families that she decided to help.
She ended her post with: “Look for the helpers, they are always there. Be kind to one another.”
Internet users thanked Stephanie for her selflessness and urged everyone to stop judging others as they might be helping someone.
