PLOT
In November 2023, Gail Lewis became an overnight sensation when she bade farewell to Walmart, signed off like an officer, wept in the car, and posted it on TikTok. 30 million + people have viewed Gail's viral video since uploading. The entire internet hailed the Gail, regarding her as some sort of supermarket Chuck Norris, a heroine capable of tackling shoplifters and scanning groceries at speeds that rival Barry Allen. Fans flocked to Gail's Walmart in the hope of catching a glimpse of their icon. Anyone lucky enough to find her would typically insist on a photo-op, before thanking her for her service. Unintentionally, Gail emerged as the greatest meme of 2023. But is there more than meets the meme? Who is the real Gail Lewis?
