On Christmas Day 2025, Lane Kiffin left home intending to buy take-out lunch for his family. Discovering nearly every restaurant closed, the LSU head coach diverted to a nearby grocery store to pick up supplies instead. When he returned, groceries weren’t in plastic or paper bags-they were still inside the metal shopping basket he had wheeled through the checkout.
The Moment Captured
Landry Kiffin, 21, spotted her dad walking in with the basket and immediately began recording.
“Why did you bring that back?” she asks in the clip.
“You have to pay for bags…and it was self checkout,” Lane answers, unfazed.
Landry, stunned, later told News Of Losangeles exclusively, “I thought he must be joking, but then realized he rarely actually goes to the grocery store, so it kind of made sense.”
She posted the exchange on TikTok that evening. Within hours, views soared past a million; the count now exceeds 10 million, with more than 8,000 comments.
