In a viral video, TikToker Felicity (@fxlixity) shared that she is overlooked as a supervisor at Starbucks and boiled it down to looks.
“It just happens so often. I even have ‘shift supervisor’ embroidered under my name,” she added in the caption.
“It has happened, once again, that I have been overlooked as a point of contact,” she says in the clip.
Felicity explained that she knows she doesn’t look like a supervisor as she’s not that tall and has purple hair. Furthermore, the creator displayed how she walks around the store.
“I take it back. After I watched that video, I understand why I get overlooked,” she jokes.
