Handling everyday customer interactions while expressing alternative style through hair, makeup, or outfits often comes with an unwritten tax. More often than not, workers have to endure side eyes, passive-aggressive jokes, and even invasive questions from strangers.
TikTok creator and retail worker Van (@virtualvan) recently walked his audience through one such alleged encounter.
