Selena: The Series actor Hunter Reese Peña candidly shared their experience working at Chipotle and being fired as a result of “not smiling.” Their past working at a fast-food chain encouraged other employees to share similar stories. The TV star has since opened up to Bored Panda about their professional transition into showbiz, highlighting their Latinx identity and the social injustices they have observed.
Taking to their Instagram Threads page on June 6, Hunter, who identifies as gender-fluid and uses they/them pronouns, recalled the only time they ever lost a job.
“I was a nerd, I read the entire employee guide in an effort to do a good job,” they wrote. “A month into being there, the regional manager came in & interviewed everyone.”
