She expressed outrage at what she calls “bad customer service” in a new video.
“Nobody that works in the stores is saying hello anymore,” she claimed.
“Almost about 90 percent of the stores that I went in yesterday, the person working did not even say hello.”
She explained that she has worked in the service industry – greeting people became an involuntary act when she was on the other side of retail.
She expressed particular dismay with some shoe store employees who didn’t end the collegial conversation when she was clearly seeking help.
“I just want to try on this f***ing shoe,” she said in the video.
She offers her own interpretation of what may be going wrong in retail.
“Have we lost it? Has COVID changed us? Or are the people that are hiring just not trained right?” she asked.
The TikToker also called herself a “Karen” in the caption hashtags.
Plenty of commenters were similarly upset over how they’ve been treated this holiday shopping season.
“Yesss I noticed this as well!!” one follower said.
Another responded: “I was out with my son an hubby and I literally stood there for 10 mins with a snow boot for kids in my hand waiting to get a size and there two people standing there talking to each other not doing nothing, I had to walk up to them even tho they looked at me twice.”
Shaw posted another video reviewing her Louis Vuitton belt the same day.
According to the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the unemployment rate has remained at 3.7 percent the past two months.
Low unemployment numbers (defined as anything under 5 percent) suggest employees are not changing jobs.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average retail worker in the US makes less than $30,000 per year.

Canny shopper shares ‘clever’ hack to save cash when booking holidays and buying goods online
A CANNY shopper has shared his clever hack to save money when booking holidays and shopping online.
Brian who runs TikTok account Frugal Spender, has explained how retailers charge more online – and how shoppers can get around it.
In one video, the crafty shopper explains that shops use cookies while you are browsing online to get an idea of what you are likely to buy.
He said: “Here’s a hack I just learnt that could save you a ton of money when shopping online. Genuinely blew my mind.
“When you shop online you generate cookies that are tracked.
“I think we all kind of know it that by now. But did you know they are tracked to the extent, they know exactly how much the item you last looked at and in particular flights cost?

“So if you leave and then you come back to that same website, the price goes up.”
But he says there is a way around it and all you need to do is to ensure you are on incognito or private browsing when you shop.
“That way you ensure you’re getting the best deals,” he adds.
Brian’s followers praised him for the helpful hack and said they would try it straight away.

One said: “I hate it when they track you. I clicked on an email and browsing for a certain item, next minute an email came asking if I wanted to buy it.”
Another viewer wrote: “It is called dynamic pricing, it is actually used on a lot of sites. Best thing to do is clear cookies before going incognito.”
One added: “Wow I thought this was an Urban Myth… blew my mind.”
