GrifGreen20 is a popular guy on TikTok after he made a video describing what it has been like moving to the Bronx from Michigan after getting a brand spanking new job at a startup tech company in Manhatten.
According to his now-private Tiktok account, he chose to live in the “sh*t hole” Bronx for a little while until his place is ready on the Upper East Side.
In his ‘funny’ video, he said he searched ‘grocery stores’ on his Apple Maps so that he could grab some dinner but all that kept popping up for him were local Bodegas and Delis.
He wanted to know where the Krogers and Whole Foods were!
Then he showed his audience examples of the Bodegas that according to him do not have ‘eggs’, ‘yogurts’, and ‘cheese’, all the ingredients needed for a growing boy.
Here is his video:
and here is another one he made after he started to receive backlash:
@basicblaecgirl Reply to @grifgreen20 This you? the colonizer mind set permeates through generations. So yucky. Act like you been somewhere or maybe just leave NYC. #gentrification #colonizer
Lets just say, TikTok didnt find his little jokey jokes, funny, some even going as far as contacting his new employer.
@janicea312 #stitch with @grifgreen20 the #bodega is part of the life blood of this city. #gentrificationisreal #fooddesertfacts #berespectful #ifyoudontlikeitthenleave #youareaguest #listenup #goodeats #fingerlickinggood

Heres the thing, capping on social media is a real thing, and unfortunatly, it can get you in a ton of trouble when its at the expense of other people, groups of people or communities.
Grif makes 48K a year according to his offer letter that is now widely circulated, so even if there was a “whole Foods” in the middle of the “sh*t Hole” Bronx he probably would save more money shopping at local bodegas, and SUPERMARKETS!
But what do we know!
