In footage that has been liked 250,000 times at the time of writing, TikTok user Jackie Tanti told her followers: “Just so you all know, these two coffees and two burritos cost us $64. Capitalism really popped off today.”
That is equivalent to approximately £51.

Meanwhile, the frenzy over Frank Ocean’s headline set is at fever pitch after his performance was dropped from the YouTube livestream.
