X community adds a context note to user's post: An X (formerly Twitter) user posted a long story that began "So I am at Walmart" and goes on to discuss a disagreement with the self-checkout monitor employee who questions the use of a double bagging technique, instead telling the customer to put half as many items in single bags, with the point being that the employee did not understand that this would use the same number of bags. The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. Steve copied and pasted someone else's story for attention and to get people riled up. Here is the original twitter.com/NikiSworld7/st…" In fact Steve's post currently has been viewed 14.4 million times, with 4,700 bookmarks, 12,000 comments, 9,900 re-posts, and 73,000 likes.
