It's another example of a trend all too common on TikTok: people posting videos about trafficking schemes at big-box stores, whether it stems from a sense of moral urgency or a desire for clout.
With regards to this specific Marco Polo video, some commenters attempted to debunk it, claiming they had encountered the greeter employed at this specific location and that she was not a little girl, but a friendly older woman; some also claimed she wasn’t saying “Marco” at all, but “morning,” or “welcome.” Yet the damage appears to have largely been done, with some other commenters claiming they had called the store to issue a report based on the video.
Of course, trafficking is a real issue — it just doesn’t tend to occur in big-box department stores, with shadowy figures lurking in the aisles using creepy children as bait. More often than not, traffickers are people who are trusted friends, partners, or loved ones of victims, who tend to be from marginalized backgrounds, such as LGBTQ teenagers who have left home after being rejected by their families.
