“The manager was talking and had interviewed some people and was like, ‘I interviewed this candidate, and she didn’t have any tattoos or nose rings like I’m so excited!'” recalled Ellie.
Ellie then said that her manager had probably hired the only barista without a tattoo or a nose ring and questioned how having those things affected her ability to make coffee.
In the caption of the video, she revealed she had quit the job. Several TikTok users pointed out that companies like to dictate their employees’ lives, and some even claimed that having tattoos and piercings should be a requirement for any barista.
“She’s probably applying for the job so she can afford tattoos and a nose ring,” joked one user.
“I have a new rule for my life. Unless you are paying me $150k after taxes. You don’t get a say in what I do with my body,” commented another.
“I expect my barista to have tattoos and piercings in order to make quality coffee,” declared a third.
