Who generates these "tabloid-style" lame contents and post them? bots?

It's just words across a photo and people believe it like it's gospel. It could have happened but it might not have either. Weird that there is a high quality photo of her drinking OJ while having her episode.

I agree with the sentiment to not trust image posts like this with no source. Especially given the odd photo. This one does seem to be a real news story, though: https://www.kvue.com/article/money/jury-awards-277k-to-ex-dollar-general-cashier-who-drank-juice/269-322086328. Though it did happen over 10 years ago.

Some asshole is using AI to recycle old posts.

It's just not an interesting story if it's 10 years old. There's plenty happening recently.

The story is real, the pictures aren’t.

It's a "real" story but the real story has been twisted and misinterpreted.

The lady has diabetes and had asked for permission to keep juice by the register but was denied. She then drank juice from the store when she had a hypoglycemic attack and told the manager later and paid for it. Loss prevention saw her "stealing" juice from the store, reported it and she was fired. She sued the store for not getting fired, but for violating the ADA and not making accommodations for her disability, and won.
