Mom in Target accuses another of ‘hoarding’ baby formula for filling cart: ‘Look at this!’

Frustration is growing over the unprecedented baby formula shortage, yet another crisis in a nation that has entered a stage of steep decline since President Joe Biden took up residence in the White House, and the desperation of mothers seeking nourishment for their infants has led to confrontations in stores as the scarce commodity is sought out.

One young mother who posted a video of her encounter with another shopper at a Massachusetts Target who had her cart filled with formula as shelves stood empty has received national attention for her angry accusation that those who are hoarding formula are to blame for the shortages, and 23-year-old Autumn Guyer appeared on CNN where she discussed the viral video with host Erin Burnett.

In the video recorded by Guyer who is the mother of a 3-month-old son named Colton, she approached the other mother whose face is not shown to engage her about the contents of her cart.

“Look at this! Look at all this!” she said, pointing into the red plastic buggy.

“But I need it for my baby,” the woman protested.

“Look at the shelves,” Guyer said. “You don’t think I need it for my baby too?”

“This is the whole reason there’s a formula shortage,” she said. “You take all the formula off the shelf and buy it all at once?”

The other woman shot back, “You come after me, I don’t know you get this one,” giving up one can to Guyer.

“That doesn’t matter, I’m saying this is the whole reason why there’s a formula shortage,” Guyer said. “You come and you buy all the formula at once and there’s kids who need formula today who won’t be able to get it, because you just bought it all to stock up.”

On Friday’s edition of “OutFront,” Guyer told Burnett that she had recorded the encounter because she felt “hopeless” over the situation.

“I wanted other people to see what it’s like to feel kind of hopeless as a mother when you go to the store with high hopes and knowing, OK, they have this one thing that I can get, I can at least feed my baby with this, and leave with nothing,” she said.

Twitter users expressed their opinions on what some believe is the unfair scapegoating of “hoarders” instead of the failures of government and corporations while others had different takes.

Guyer also told Burnett that the formula that she is currently feeding Colton isn’t ideal for his condition.

“He’s not taking well to it, but I’ve called his pediatrician,” Guyer said. “There’s nothing anybody can do.”

  1. I don’t blame the mother for stocking up when she had the chance. The mother throwing her liberal fit should have gotten there sooner. The blame is on this president’s administration, not on the ones buying it when they find it. They are looking out for their babies, and I’d do the same.

  2. Swap meet time. Unbelievable that Target didn’t have a limit, But this will get interesting, the military planes bringing pallets of formula from Germany are headed for—Chicago! Democrat state, Democrat city. How is it going to be distributed? Betting on equity distribution. White do not apply,

  3. I’ll bet the hoarder of baby food voted for biden. Democrats are virtue seekers in public, but downright nasty selfish when they think they can get away with it.

  4. The USA has been in dead drop decline ever since fkjbiden got to the Whitehouse.
    The mfkr has Fkd everything hes touched , EVERYTHING!!!
    Demented prick.

  6. Is this “REAL” or just ANOTHER “squirrel” put out by the DEMOcrats??

  7. ANOTHER LEFTIST CREATION TO PUT THE HURT ON TAX-PAYING AMERICANS !! WE NEED TO PUT THE HURT ON THIS ADMINISTRATION AND ALL THIER CRONIES TO STOP THIS ABUSE OF OUR CITIZENS BY THESE TYRANTS IN OFFICE !! F.J.B. AND PHUCKOBAMA MORE !!

    1. When the heads of all the democrat leadership and ‘top’ politicians and every member of the corrupt traitorous criminal totalitarian O’Biden regime are on pikes around D.C., all this will stop but it’s up to we, the people, to make that a reality.

  8. She should have shown this person’s face! It may take that to stop this behavior. I can’t help but wonder if this baby formula hasn’t become the “new racket”! There’s a shortage so people without babies clean the shelves of the most desired formula and then resale it at inflated prices. If you think this doesn’t happen then think again!

    1. This is completely the illegitimate corrupt traitorous totalitarian O’Biden regime’s fault, but this type of hoarder (liberal democrat beyond doubt) makes things even worse, as do stores like Target who allow this. Put an end to all three culprits.
