Zoomer claims she was denied TJMaxx job because of her head-to-toe tattoos

Idiot cunt. Letting women vote and move out of the kitchen will be looked back upon in history as one of the greatest mistakes ever made. Although probably won’t be an issue much longer, once our incoming Islamic overlords take over.

And now she’s Tik-Tok famous, as planned.

Ugh, so sick of these bitches.

Tattoos are not a protected class. You can be denied employment for having one especially when client facing.

Disgusting TJ Maxx is anti pentagram!

Imagine being this pretty and choosing to disfigure yourself. Victim of sex abuse trying to be unappealing.

She should try looking for warehouse work where she won't be in front of the public.

If she got an automated email doesn’t that mean she applied online?

I work with high profile clients, and there is no way I would hire her to be the face of my business. Doesn't she realize many people are turned off by her body art? She made her choices. Why should I risk losing business to satisfy her need to express herself.

Wait a second - The manager told her that it/the tattoos “wasn’t the reason,” but Putnam didn’t feel like “that’s true.”

So she actually wasn't denied for that reason. She just FEELS like it was the reason. Okayyy...

She is probably correct regardless what the company says

I just wonder what goes on at the NYP if someone's unsubstantiated feeling makes a story that they think needs to be published. I know the NYP has an agenda. They probably wanted to highlight some girl's exaggerated sense of entitlement to make their conservative readers a bit more upset about the world. But still... all this based on a feeling only? Man, they really run out of actual events, don't they?

[quote]Letting women vote and move out of the kitchen will be looked back upon in history as one of the greatest mistakes ever made

What does voting have to do with body piercing?

Oh, you’re a loser who can’t get dick, thinks all gay men are just like you and are envious of the women who attract the straight men that you want to harass so you blame them for everything that’s wrong in the world.

One of “those”.

You don’t say.

Gain 75 lbs, laser off those tattoos, and stock up on wardrobe essentials @Walmart, and she'd be a dead ringer for Rep. Katie Porter.

I can't wait for our new Islamic overlords to shit in my mouth.

R8 I believe all companies have on-line applications these days. However, I've been on Zoom interviews and then made it to second-round and third-round of in-person interviews, and gotten auto-generated emails declining me for the positions. So, she may have made it to a Zoom interview, at least.

Still, no employer owes her any explanation as to why she didn't get the job.

R11 She probably is correct. So let this be a 'teachable moment' (as Zoomers say) and let her learn from this experience. It's going to be a tough road ahead for her if she really wants a job interacting face-to-face with the public.

Maybe they’d be afraid Inventory would mistake her for actual store merchandise, because the tats make her resemble some sort of a barcode!?

She has a face for radio.

She must have gotten sober or has a jealous boyfriend, because those tattoos would be perfectly fine in rock clubs, bars, strip clubs. She probably make a fortune bartending in some Coyote Ugly-style places.

I'd never hire anyone like that. Gross.

IMO, she aimed low. Too low. TJMaxx ? Really ? She needs to apply to Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus. That's more her caliber - those stores would appreciate her artistry and individuality.

The comments on the article are surprisingly tame, with most saying neck/face/hand tattoos are a deal breaker for a customer facing job, and I don’t disagree.

She should get her job collecting carts from the TJ Maxx parking lot and her tattoo artist(s) should get life at Guantanamo

It's a shame Tower Records is no longer around. Tattoos, piercings, odd hairstyles, weird clothing, etc. seem to have been a requirement to work there.

She can't be too proud of those facial tattoos. That selfie photo used in the OP thumbnail is filtered to Neptune.

R13 took the words out of my mouth. It’s funny, because in every country where women have rights, so do gays. So many dumb cocksuckers think of themselves as equal to straight men yet straight men think of them as equal to women.

Go work at Hot Topic.

She can always make a living by suing companies for discrimination.

You can't paint yourself up like a demented goth meme from the underworld and expect your appearance to be found satisfactory by the business world.

She can probably get a job at any big-city public library, or progressive academic library. THIS is exactly what they are looking for and hiring, to show how 'cool and cutting edge' libraries are these days, as they try to appeal to Zoomers. It's quite disgusting. I've been on many hiring committees over the past 10 years at such libraries, and trust me - this is what they want.

I wouldn't hire her either. She's disgusting.

If I needed help with anything at TJ Maxx and she showed up, I'd leave the store. Yes, because the tattoos are off-putting. Work online, bitch.

Did she really think all that ink was a good idea ? Did she really think there would be no consequences later on in life ?

This is happening to all the "non-binaries" with the blue hair and nose rings, too. All these idiot kids who thought following the latest trends made them "special." The truth is, companies today don't want to deal with their drama if they accidentally call the youngster who is clearly a she a she.

And I wouldn't hire her either. The sad thing is, you can tell she was beautiful before the ink and the stupid cow ring hanging out of her nose. A person like that is advertising, "I'm a fucking idiot" to everyone loud and clear.

I feel bad for people who wear their damage so visibly.

The Ross warehouse is hiring, honey. Try that.

That's a valid reason. My last job, for about a 10 year period, I had final say in just about any hire except for a few lab positions. You would not be hired if you had: danger hair, special pronouns, or a female ghetto name. All these tattoos just scream a once a week trip to HR.

She should try a Starbucks.

"body art"

What R32 says. There are places where her look will be welcomed. Dear God the average TJMaxx customer would have a Grand "Maul" Seizure crossing her path.

she should go to bartending school, straight guys will love tipping her

[quote] Tattoos are not a protected class.

It will be. Democrats already made people with ridiculous hairstyles a protected class.

[R44] is an idiot troll and MAGA moron

Attention Boomer : Your time is up, retire, and stop bugging generation Z kids with unwanted advices.

Not much sympathy for her on Bored Panda

Wow, that woman at r15 looks like someone from the 1930s.

R1 Didn't know gay men could be incel losers

I bought something for one of my nieces at a fashion chain store a few months ago and was served by a woman in her 30s with tattoos all over her arms, which were bare. Tattoos are everywhere on a lot of people in their teens to their 30s in Australia. I'd live to have the money to invest in a tattoo removal clinic, as I can see people will be getting them removed and then tattooed again.

Simplicity (and for a while, Butterick) Patterns = used models with tattoos for about ten years now. Their big thing at the moment is more about obesity, though.

I wonder what she looks like without the filters... I kind of think the hideous tattoos are an improvement.

She looks ghastly.

She should tell them she's trans - then they'll be afraid not to hire her.

Nose rings are so trashy.

Phone room

I don’t see the problem. You don’t want obviously bizarre looking people in sales or customer service positions. Facing the public looking like they are rejects from a sci-fi movie. Maybe a tattoo or piercing parlor would that weird look work, but nowhere else.

I know I am old, but I just think any tattoo work neck on up is trashy.

Same with hand tattoos.

I work on a college campus and see all of these young kids with promising futures and parents to bankroll them. So many of them have very stupid neck tattoos or thigs inked on their hands.

It is a trend. It will go away. Rhianna will be able to afford expensive, painful ink removal. You might not. Stop.

I have worked with college kids for the past ten years, as they are student workers in my department. I have to agree with some of the above posters.

Those with tattoos, face piercings and rainbow hair = constant, exhausting, personal drama. It's just not worth hiring them (but I don't have final say).

Those without the above are the opposite - a pleasure to work with, energetic, and work-focused.

Ummm, yeah. TJ Maxx got how many applicants for the job, most without an appearance that won’t scare little children. And this bitch is crying about it. Life choices have consequences.

She's 23 years old and has never held a job in her life ? Really ?

She wants attention any way she can get it. She doesn't really want a job. This was a move for more attention. She knew she would not get hired.

If you insist on ugly tats and piercings, make sure you can cover then up with business attire.

[quote] It is a trend. It will go away

If only, but I've been telling myself that for twenty years and it's just gotten worse. All I know is I'd never hire a secretary or an associate with visible tattoos, much less satanic tattoos. What they have on their butt or the small of their back would not reflect on the office so is none of my business.

It would be wonderful if employers could tell people why they weren't being hired, but it would only open them to massive discrimination lawsuits. If I were the hiring manager, I'd simply say to her, "Moderation in all things."

I'm old. Let's just get that out of the way.

I've hired hundreds of people over the years, and I would not even consider someone who had a facial tattoo. Ever. It's a sign of mental instability. I've accepted that you can't disregard anyone with tattoos elsewhere, but damn I wish people would think about what they're doing to their bodies.

On the personal side, what kills me is when you see a stunningly handsome man with an incredible body, hairy in all the right places... and then has some hideous, elaborate art that is a total boner-killer.

The roles have completely been reversed. When I see a man without tattoos, he stands out.

My niece was lovely until she got tattoos on her arm and neck.

She wasn’t denied the job because of the tattoos, she was denied the job because she’s the kind of person who wanted to get those tattoos.

Why do people do this to themselves?

Mental illness or personality disorder, r67

Can she cook? Michael Voltaggio is one tatted-up chef but he's mostly back of the house. I think being overly-tattoed is gross.

For the poster who thinks the trend is dying, I don't think so. I live in the suburbs where there are at least 5 tattoo parlors within walking distance of my house.

For the past three years, I have had Easter dinner with a friend of mine I've know for quite a few years. She has brought her cute, sexy son (mid-30s) and his wife of the past three years, 'Emily', who turns 30 this year. Emily is quite pretty, great personality and very intelligent (she's quite knowledgeable about everything, easy to have a conversation with). I really enjoy her company at the dinner table, and always sit next to her.

Two years ago, when she first joined us for dinner, I remember she had a beautiful dress on which was sleeveless. Her shoulders and upper arms were tattooed. It through her off. Last year, the tattoos went down her arms and covered her hands - gross. This year, her neck and throat were covered, as well as her upper chest (she had a short-sleeve V-neck sweater on) and one cheek had a 'spiderweb'. She added a bull-ring to her nose and a lip ring. She has completely destroyed her looks. (Meanwhile, her hubby is gorgeous).

She was telling me she works in the 'back room' of Barnes and Noble, where she's been working for the past couple of years unloading stock / inventory as it comes in on the dock. It's labor intensive and she's not happy there anymore (but she's an avid reader and gets free copies of new books which come in damaged - like the book cover corner is bent). She's applied for promotions such as assistant store manager, night manager, children's department manager, cashier supervisor, etc. which she's qualified for - but always gets passed up.

She told me 'she can't figure out' why she keeps getting passed up, while others who have been there less than she has keep getting promotions. Hmmmmmm.

As I looked at the spider-web on her left cheek and her throat covered in blue / black ink, I simply responded, "I can't imagine why".

I wouldn't hire her for anything.

Those tattoos and piercings tell me she has poor impulse control and bad decision making skills. And I can never take anyone seriously with that shit all over their face.

She ruined her own life. TJ Maxx isn't doing anything wrong, or even anything unexpected.

Smart, R70. Were you to tell her the truth, she would undoubtedly look at you and reply that the olds just don't get it.

The irony being that SHE'S the one that just doesn't get it.

What's crazy is that the whole tattoo craze started with maybe one or two meaningful ones, like MOM on a sailor's bicep. But that became mainstream so now they are trying out-tattoo each other to be unique but it's backfired/ They now look like freaks or walking comic book characters and don't understand why that's a bad thing. Wait until they turn 50 or more and the colors become muted.

I always thought they were popularized by Cher in the late 80s with her music videos. I remember by the 2000s she started removing them because 'everyone copied her' (according to an interview).

She is a really beautiful girl. I can't imagine why she would disfigure herself that way. Very sad. So many of us would die to be that beautiful.

She does porn online. That's probably why she can't get hired. Employers can easily search her name and see sex videos.

She can just continue making porn.

R77 She conveniently left that out, now didn't she ?

Tattoos essentially stamp a person’s feelings from a moment in time permanently on their skin, which is either poignant or pathetic if you think about it. Some things are best left in the past instead of advertised daily on your flesh for the rest of your life.

I'm so out of step with my generation over the whole tattoo thing. I think they look hideous and trashy but I keep my opinions to myself because everybody and their brother who is my age or younger have them now.

Same R81. Can’t say anything or you get accused of being a bigot or close minded.

However I will say that many uggos get them so it’s not as great a beauty loss as it seems.

What always surprised me is when dark-skin people get them as you can hardly see the black and blue ink on dark skin.

R11

Great point I am sure tats are the only reason this person was not hired. I bet just looking at her that she aced the interview, and the reference checks with no problem.

She should have gotten a Baphomet pendant instead of a tattoo on her chest because she’ll inevitably convert to other religions, jumping from one cult to another after she gets bored with each one after the pink cloud dissipates.

There's a young woman at my gym who I'm friendly with and she's supermodel-level gorgeous. She has a body that most women would kill for. She recently got a dragon tattoo that covers half of her left arm. Of course I had to tell her something about it and of course I didn't want to be rude so I said to her "that tattoo is really good work. The person who did it is very skilled." The whole time I was thinking "why would a woman as gorgeous as you are want to have that hideous thing on your arm?"

Face tattoos just scream "Hire me!"

The Woman With Half a Dragon Tattoo?

It's SO ugly r88.

Imagine your receptionist doing this

the funniest tattoo is the one some gay men get around their hole.

Maybe Clown Burger or Dollar Circus. Something with Clown 🤡 or Circus 🎪 in the title.

[quote]R86 The whole time I was thinking "why would a woman as gorgeous as you are want to have that hideous thing on your arm?"

You can tell her your real reaction.

Maybe you’ll end up closer?

Whenever I see a woman with a cow ring in her nose, it's a MAJOR turn off. I'm a lesbian. I can look past a few tasteful tats maybe, but the nose ring is a deal breaker for me. It's so fucking gross and stupid looking. Both of my nieces have them and one of them is studying to be a lawyer and is going to have a rude awakening if she passes the bar but can't get hired because of her stupid choices.

Maybe it's her U-Haul key ring?

R94, you'd be astonished at the number of tat-spattered young associate attorneys strutting around out there, vinyl briefcases swinging!

My dad was in the Army and served in Vietnam. He hated tattoos, but several of his military friends had one or two military related tattoos. When I was in college around 2005 to 2006, one of my dad's close friends was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. My parents and other friends took turns helping him and he would sometimes stay at different houses because he didn't want to be alone. One weekend, I went up to visit my parents and he was with them. The conversation of tattoos came up and he said he hated how people went overboard with tattoos. He didn't regret the tattoos he had because they were up on his upper arms and were easily hidden by clothes. But, he didn't like people doing full-sleeve arm tattoos or neck tattoos.

[quote]the funniest tattoo is the one some gay men get around their hole.

Depending on your line of work, something like that is not likely to be visible.

ahem.

Cough.

NEW LAW PROPOSED TO PREVENT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOPLE WITH TATTOOS IN NEW YORK CITY

Hair and now tattoo protection being pushed by Democrats.

R63, even saying that would leave you/the company open to the nonsense she is pulling now. If the position was filled and something had to be said, then mentioning how there were a lot of qualified candidates who had applied would be the best course.

When dealing with unskilled employees in casual positions, it's best never to give a reason for firing/not hiring them. This woman has likely finally spat it because she's endured rejection after rejection, and rather than admit that the tattoos were a colossal mistake, she feels she the right to publicly castigate the latest source of rejection. Emotionally, it's easier for her to lash out and demonise the latest company who have declined to use her services.

There are plenty of unskilled people applying for or working in shit-kicking positions who are dysfunctional enough that they can't manage to remain consistently employed. Their biggest problem is usually an inability to examine their own behaviour and acknowledge that they need to work/interact with others differently in the workplace. They always blame someone/everyone else for the turbulence.

This kind of (low) functioning is why so many workplaces using unskilled workers keep the pay low and put little effort into improving the conditions. Those factors make it easier to churn through so many workers and get shot of the people like this woman, who will eventually get taken on by a company so desperate for workers that they'll take anyone. It will be an utter shithole of a workplace and that will likely lead to a further rant from her. There are also "lifers" in these workplaces who can hang in there for years, even decades. They can be brutal to anyone coming in who they just don't like or who they feel isn't pulling their weight.

NY Post out of Datalounge

R103 Very well said.

I wonder if she will wander onto a college campus and start protesting (without knowing what she's protesting) ?

Medicate or get psychiatric care before destroying yourself.

R90 he was Hot before his alien transformation.

Tattoos and piercings are common place, she looks normal. Average.

So long as the tats aren't on the face it's a little different with men.

[quote]She looks normal. Average.

Among carnies, maybe.

Considering the recent plethora of NY Post-linked submissions, I suspect OP is on the payroll.

Actually, yes…

It’s clickbait.

Black Hair discrimination is a real thing, and it's racist as hell.

Sorry, you can't equate the needed and necessary Crown Act with "tattoos".

Don't even try.

I hope that New York bill fails. The last thing we need as a society is a ban on discrimination based on tattoos. There's literally no more justifiable discrimination based on looks.

It will be hard to prove discrimination based on 'appearance' when the employer can always justify with 'we chose a better candidate'.

She needs to find a job where she can work from home.

They must have pierced her brain while they were tattooing her forehead.

Guys in the Navy would get them overseas. We had a warrant officer who had them all over his body - including his tongue and genitalia. And this was in the middle eighties!

It's a clear sign of mental illness and VISIBLE tattoos are clear statements that "I don't want a regular job or any kind of career".

R118. Exactly - it's their way of playing perpetual victim and 'no one wants to hire me'.

"There's literally no more justifiable discrimination based on looks."

You're so cute in your innocence. People are discriminated all the time based on their looks. They are promoted based on their looks. I work for a company that hired a girl to be a scheduler which was a pretty basic job. She didn't have much experience BUT she is fucking beautiful and within 2 years she was promoted to a management position and is now one of the higher ups in the company. No skills, but great looks gets you far.

And let's not even get started on the discrimination that happens every single day to obese people. I can testify to this, having been morbidly obese in the past to now being a normal weight. The way people interact with me on the daily is so different from when I had fat. It's been eye opening, to say the least.

It’s very sad. I’m sorry to say most people would see this elective disfigurement as a sign of more serious issues of identity and conformity.

For me, it’s another level of sadness. I have a red birthmark on my face that becomes more pronounced when I’m nervous or sweating. It’s something I don’t think often about, but remember when I look in the mirror or see photos.

So right, R117. My grandfather was in the British Navy during WW2. He and his shipmates would get tattoos on occasion when their ship went into port. He had one tattoo from Mombasa in Kenya on his left upper arm, one with a large elephant and "Ceylon" on his lower right arm, and one from Egypt after the ship went through the Suez Canal on his upper right arm. None were obnoxiously big. He was proud of them, and of his travels.

The ship once went to a Free French port in Senegal to treat the injured after a encounter with the Germans. The French refused to let them off the ship. Pop's attitude toward the French was sour for the rest of his life. We never brought the nation or the language up in conversation. We knew better.

Once afternoon after an operation on a broken hip in his 80s, he started hallucinating. He was panicked. "Cover the holes. Cover the holes. What about the deck below us? He never talked about the naval combat he may have faced. My Mom says he helped to evacuate Dunkirk on a small boat taken out by one of his neighbors on the English coast. They made four trips back and forth.

I see overly-tattooed people and I realize their ink may not bring memories or pride in the past, not like the brave men who went to war. Those men earned those tattoos. I also have no great feeling for the pampered, self-centered people in the latest generations, either. They have no concept of what it might be like if they are directed to war.

[quote]The way people interact with me on the daily is so different from when I had fat. It's been eye opening, to say the least.

You should write a memoir about your experience, titled “Fat Like Me.”

The whole point of getting all these tats is supposed to be saying "fuck you" to society, and basically that you don't and won't ever want a square job like that. So she's either a fucking idiot who just got these tats and doesn't understand the meaning, or she's a fucking liar and is just trying to get tik tok famous. Either of those options tell me she's an asshole and should be avoided at all costs. Whoever said it's a sign she's an HR nightmare and would be calling in for stupid reasons, or constantly complaining, is right. Thanks for branding yourself as being a pain in the ass, we might not have known otherwise and now we can avoid you.

The manager mistook her for a cenobite.

You couldn't make this up. Ashe Putnam?

Too bad Merry Go Round is long gone.

Says she doesn't need the money. Says she's in debt. Pick one.

She's got an annoying voice too. Too bad she's getting tik tok famous on this, I'm sure that was her intention.

Is there a GoFundMe?

Disney will hire her.

Eldergay in my late 50s-

When I was growing up the only people I ever saw with face tattoos were Hell’s Angels. They wanted to set themselves apart. Now we have people demanding equal opportunities when they look like personality disordered Skittles.

R125...

Perhaps you're teasing us.

Are you teasing us?

[quote] Black Hair discrimination is a real thing, and it's racist as hell.

No, is it not.

If your hair looks like this, you need to go.

She dodged a bullet. I've only been in a TJ Maxx once but it felt exactly like K-Mart.

If the hair at r133 is powered to spin around like a helicopter, it could spin until it breaks off.

You can't have an employee who scares people. PERIOD.

And? Are tattooed people now a protected class?

R136, you absolutely can.

R133, that's not what the fucking Crown Act is about and you know it.
