A young man noticed an elderly lady following him around while shopping in a supermarket. She stopped when he stopped and kept staring at him. Eventually, at the checkout, she approached him and said, “I hope I haven’t made you feel ill at ease; it’s just that you look so much like my late son.”
The man replied, “That’s okay.”
She then made an unusual request: “I know it’s silly, but if you’d call out, ‘Goodbye, Mom’ as I leave the store, it would make me so happy.”
Obligingly, as she left, the man called out, “Goodbye Mom!” She waved and smiled back.
Feeling pleased for brightening her day, the man proceeded to pay for his groceries. The clerk said, “That comes to $121.85.”
Surprised, the man exclaimed, “How come so much! I only bought 5 items.”
The clerk replied, “Yeah, but your mother said you’d be paying for her things too.”
Woman with Many Tattoos Upset Over Job Obstacles:
Ash Putnam, a 23-year-old with tattoos and piercings, was rejected for a job at TJ Maxx and accused the business of discrimination. This led to uproar. Putnam claimed she was turned down for a part-time job because of her appearance. She told her experience on TikTok. She was informed in person that she lacked experience after getting a rejection email.
In spite of this, she thought the rejection was primarily due to the Satanic imagery in her tattoos. Her TikTok video started a discussion on tattoos in the workplace, with some saying they can come across as unprofessional, particularly in jobs where you interact with customers. The incident highlights the need for more inclusive and equal recruiting processes and raises more general concerns about body alterations.
