A young woman with facial tattoos and piercings confronted TJ Maxx employees after she was rejected a job.
“HR supervisor here. There is no way any company would put you in front of customers like TJ maxx.”
“I worked at TJ Maxx and they will hire just about anyone that comes off the street it’s definitely the tattoos and piercings”
“I don’t think it’s because you have tattoos…I think it’s WHERE you have tattoos ”
Putnam appears to think it’s her tattoos as well.
“I absolutely do think it’s about my tattoos because apparently my tattoos are demonic and scary to a lot of people,” she said in an interview with the Daily Star.
“TJ Maxx did not say anything to me; those are just some of the responses I’ve received on my video. People are being incredibly rude on my TikTok, claiming I should work at a circus or a Halloween store.”
Even if her body art was the reason she was rejected a position at the retailer, she feels businesses should reconsider their hiring practices.
