‘Rent kicking my a$$, i cant add groceries right now: Viewers defend hotel employee who ‘shops’ for food at work
A hotel worker claims her paycheck is so low she has to “grocery shop” at her job to make ends meet.
A creator who goes by the user name @neeshneshia on TikTok (stylizing her name on the platform at Neshiaaa, posted a video on June 20 that shows her putting food items from her job into a plastic bag.
"When my coworkers ask why I shop at work instead of the actual grocery store," the caption reads. "Rent kicking my a$$, i cant add groceries right now."
