Fr it's Hella cringe 😂

I have a career in tech, and last year I was unexpectedly let go and had to work as a cashier to bring some money in. I worked harder in those 6 weeks than I did in the past year at my tech job. Retail workers have to be “on” and expected to be pleasant, helpful, and know everything for an entire 8 hour shift. The training was strenuous. There was more paperwork than I have ever had at any job. It takes literally zero effort to be respectful to the person who is cashing you out, yet people go out of their way to be awful. It’s sick.

fellow retail worker of 7 years, i still can’t believe people don’t understand we’re actually not robots, but *gasp* human beings

I'm an university student and it's already hard enough without working a full time job at the same time. It's incredible that you can manage to do both

I always make sure to ask how the person behind the register is doing, and see if i can make them smile. Your guys’ job is the hardest imo because you get all types of people. Just know without ya’ll the lines would be annoyingly long, and you are needed ❤️ im so sorry its shit, i do hope some people are able to make you smile sometimes!

*TRYING to be relatable.

*imagine intensifies

they weren’t trying nothing it was to promote their snack y’all are so unserious 😂😂😂

@@tusmuertospisados111clearly the promotion is not working lol. no one who has to work constantly at a minimum wage job is going to buy their product. Not everyone can be lana del ray lol

@@nanah846clearly the promotion is working literally everyone’s talking ab this walmart shit LMAO

Same! 😅

No but for real, that was on a different level of cringe.

What like was that anyways lol

@letsgoladies that makes it worse

Her "I think..." literally made me say out loud "thinky hurty?" because it truly seemed the mere act of thinking really was a painful struggle for her.. 🤦‍♀️

I love the use of cosplaying vs pretending. It does feel more cosplay because she has no idea whats going on But most cosplays people try very hard on so 😂 I don’t know

Yes 100%

⁠@@lindyloohoothe irony of being a cosplayer who is trying to get into competing but works in a terrible grocery store is not lost on me. I’m working on my contest piece as many hours as I’m working at my job, I’m so tired please send alani energy drinks and blankets 🤣

That's a great idea! 😊

Agreed, I think that comment was slightly out of touch too (although I know she meant well, but that KZfaqr money makes them out of touch too) Being a cashier is definitely a working class job. Dam, if it put me in a a middle class bracket, I'd be ecstatic.

Exactly, working full time in retail does not make enough to be considered middle class, it's the working poor 😢

Shit starvation wages severely unadjusted for inflation. Large companies bribed numerous members of congress to strongly oppose any significant economic and social reform to benefit the average individual. It’s absolutely disgusting

She wasn't given, she was born into wealth plus she's a talented dancer so she would've probably been famous without Tiktok or social media. I don't understand why people hyped her up because "oh she's cute and doesn't bother anyone" but once they're done with her it's "ok lets find something to cancel her over".

it sounds like you think if she never had money she would have chose to be a nurse or caretaker but i seriously doubt it, as far as i know she's never shown an interest in those fields and she doesnt owe it to anyone to pursue those fields anyways

Gandhi had a great quote about 'wealth without work'

I'm sorry you're going through this right now! I'm actually in a similar situation, but I really hope things look up for you soon and you find a good job!

Not even tiktok influencers, but mostly the everchanging algorithms that prefer the shittiest or most random content...🙃

I’m from Arizona and live in Victoria now. Yes and yes 😢 I hate seeing it happen to this beautiful country

And they wonder why people shoplift🤣

@Kryssee-Kurruption it's gone downhill so fast. The fact now Medicare doesn't cover skin checks but 1 in 2 people have skin cancer (185 dollar consultation, if you need anything removed that is more) papsmears aren't cover until you are 25 and you get one free one every five years... your meant to start getting them when becoming active!...

some people really never grow up. they just become very large babies. im sorry you and your colleagues even had to deal with that, on top of all the other stressors that come with working in the public.

@@DoveLady Thanks. It's not the first time and it surely won't be the last

No longer relating to, I should’ve been clearer, here means that she’s trying to act like she’s the same as everyone else. Before she blew up / before she started making $$$, it’s likelier she related to her audience to a different degree. Now the relatability seems to be zero (to me).

The D’Amelios were upper middle class in CT, one of the “wealthiest” states of the US.

@@urmamasmamasmamaI believe I’ve heard they were wealthy, but just so you know, not all people who live in CT are rich.. Like there are some rich areas, but most are just working & middle to lower income, same as everywhere else

@@colourfulsouls I’m well aware. Charlie went to a private school in Stamford, meanwhile the rest of us went to underfunded public schools

@@urmamasmamasmamaI live in ct, while there are wealthy parts, there are a lot of people living in poverty as well, and you see these extremes going from town to town. The state is unaffordable, to leave you have to be able to save, but you can’t when everything is so expensive, so many people are stuck here

😐- my face when working at Walmart 20 years ago

Fr

*in mainstream media/popular content

haha same!

True unfortunately. I'm not sure how the low income but still employed ppl are referred to in other countries, but here in canada we're often called the working poor. So far from middle class it's discouraging

That’s the thing. So many internet stars have tons of relevancy for maybe five years max (and even that is pushing it) and slowly become less and less popular

terrible take. she’s young but this behavior is unacceptable. she had many years as a normal person and knows this is gross. you need to have better standards for your favorite influencers.

​@@mjesns77Exactly. Getting sick of people defending rich people just because they might be younger as if they are exempt from criticism.

@@mjesns77 I think it’s distasteful and insensitive but I’d argue it’s not “unacceptable” when you look at the people she’s surrounded by. Her parents shove her in the limelight and her sister has capitalized on the silly dances and has become just as vapid. I think it’s a little more appropriate to educate rather than hate, especially when it’s a young girl who hasn’t been shown much different.

@@mjesns77 and I don’t need to have “better standards for my favorite influencers” because I don’t have favorite influencers… and I think everyone would benefit by following a similar route. I just think people are condemning this girl way too harshly and missing out on the bigger picture/issue that she’s actually stuck in.

I 1000% agree that parents on a general note shouldn’t push their kids into the spotlight, especially on social media as we’re seeing now. That being said, we also have to ask ourselves, when do said kids take responsibility for their own part? It’s a slippery slope because behind many critiqued celebrities etc there is some unhealthy family dynamic. When do we assign the responsibility to the kids that are now adults? It’s a difficult line to draw imo

There’s a difference between playing a teacher on an established set, and parading around a functioning Walmart, laughing at how menial and goofy being a retail worker is, while real employees are in the background making less money all day than the D’Amelios do in a minute

@@Mieslk2 You're reaching for something to be offended over because literally both Kim and Charli were acting in ads by pretending to be something they are not...like most celebrities and influencers do, wait until you find out 2 broke girls actually weren't broke.

@@terribleterri2738 I'm not offended, I'm just acknowledging that they are objectively different situations. Kim filmed in a studio setting, which not only shows professionalism/care for her product, but it gives work to everyone on the production team (environmental setters, camera crew, advertisement writers, director, etc.). The D'Amelios put on Walmart outfits and ran around the store laughing and frolicking, essentially diminishing the job that service workers rely on to pay their bills as some petty tasks. They did this half-assed advertisement for a brand they already made more money than these workers' salaries in front of the aforementioned workers, not only showing that it was a cash grab without any consideration, but flaunting their status ("we have a popcorn brand so thank god we only have to do this for 5 minutes at a time. Sucks y'all gotta do this to feed youselves and pay rent"). It doesn't take a genius to understand the nuance here

early tiktok dances

The same people hating on her made her famous like they do every young girlvon Tiktok. It's been a cycle since 2018.

I don’t expect a 19 year old to understand the ins and outs of the economy but to be somewhat aware of “prices are so high people can’t survive” I feel like she should know? Her team *definitely* fucked up here though, agreed.

@@READYTOGLARE Yeah I agree. I think it’s one of those situations where because of her immense wealth and fame at such a young age it is understandable for her to not realize beforehand that the ad is out of touch. Not to say she couldn’t have put in the effort to try and predict these things, but more that I don’t put nearly as much blame on her for an obtuse oversight as I think it’s super understandable for her to make these kinds of mistakes given her circumstances. And although I admittedly know little about her, from what I do know she seems like a genuinely kind person who got very lucky and needs time to grow in maturity to grasp the weight of these kinds of things.

Not really considering she's not the only one not impressed by the ad lmao
