The Dollar Tree location had been closed for three days, according to the video.
“I went [away] for three days. That’s why the store was closed for three days,” the manager says. “[I’m the] only worker.”
“She’s the only person working here,” Felipe is heard saying. “She’s been working here all day.”
The store appears to have had a flood or water damage. A line of customers can be seen waiting to pay for items.

Felipe’s footage shows boxes all around the store waiting to be unpacked. Many of the shelves are empty or bare.
“They left her to stock this whole store by herself,” a voice is heard saying off-camera. “No bathroom breaks.”
The video also claims people “who don’t even work here” were unpacking boxes and loading items onto shelves and into freezers.
In the comment section of the video, Felipe claims, “there was homeless people helping her.”
