BOUTIQUE WORKER SAYS OWNER FORCED HER TO TAKE TAGS OFF NEW SHEIN CLOTHING BEFORE DISPLAYING THEM ON RACKS

In a recent TikTok, the worker, Karalynn (@kara_lynn33), said that this incident was one of her “final straws.” She also said that the boutique, which she did not mention by name, had been “taking advantage” of her. Currently her clip has more than 7 million views.

Karalynn said the incident began when a Shein package arrived at her workplace. She said she noted that the box had 16 of the same dresses in various sizes. Not knowing what to do, Karalynn said she texted her store’s owner.

“She said, ‘Cut the shein tags off, put our tags on it, take a pic of you wearing it and put it on the website,’” Karalynn wrote.

The worker said she ignored the text “for obvious reasons.” The next day, however, she said she noticed that the Shein tags were removed from the dresses and thrown in the trash.

People who watched Karalynn’s video mainly took issue with the fact that the worker’s boutique would likely upcharge the retail company’s clothes. “They will charge $65 for a $5 tshirt and I think that’s insane,” one viewer wrote.
