Dollar Tree Encounter Goes Viral
Philadelphia TikToker Jahnell Anya posted a video showing her holding two pregnancy tests before a Dollar Tree employee escorted her to the back of the store. The cashier said she could “feel” Anya was pregnant and offered to help her take the test on site. The saxophone-heavy clip includes a text overlay describing the encounter. Within days the video amassed 14.9 million views, 1.9 million likes and over 5 000 comments. A follow-up video later revealed a negative result.
Background & Context
Pregnancy tests detect the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, a marker that appears shortly after conception. Dollar Tree sells such tests for about $1, making them one of the most affordable options on the market.
Official Statements & Responses
First Cry Parenting states that dollar-store pregnancy tests are generally 99 % accurate when used after a missed period and according to the instructions. The organization notes that pricier kits may detect pregnancy a few days earlier, but the core technology is the same, with differences limited to packaging and read-out speed.

The comment section mixed amusement with criticism. Users such as hallie_gornall wrote “I love unprofessionalism,” while Dessimac quoted the cashier’s line, “let’s find out together.” Angel called the employee “just wanted to be nosey.” Lanie said, “I’m just as disappointed as the cashier.” Other commenters shared personal experiences buying tests publicly.
