In her reels, she said one of the most annoying parts of her job was dealing with people who would forget their passwords.
In one video, she said: “I can’t wait to get yelled at by old people who don’t know their own password.”
She echoed the sentiment in a second post, stating: “Millions of years ago dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and now I’m forced to smile as old people yell at me because they forgot their own password.”
Together, the videos received more than 12,000 likes and dozens of comments from fellow TikTok users.
“I once asked for my grandma’s wifi password and she said ‘I don’t have a wifi’…she did indeed have wifi,” one user joked.
“I spent three hours trying to reset this lady’s password and she complained. she said when she goes to Tmobile that she doesn’t have to wait this long,” a second person shared.
“FACTS. ESPECIALLY AS THE MICROSOFT EXPERT,” a third person exclaimed.
“LITERALLY like it’s not my fault y’all can’t remember your mobile carrier pin. I make them leave the store,” a fourth person said.
According to Ellie, dealing with rude customers wasn’t the only problem with working at Best Buy.
In one video, she revealed that working at the establishment “physically and mentally drained” her.
She also shared in that same clip that she was leaving Best Buy for good.
And in another reel, she slammed shoppers for waiting outside the entrance before a store opens, saying they should be “embarrassed” for lurking outside.
“Can someone please tell me if this is just a Best Buy thing or does this happen to other stores?” Ellie explained in the since-deleted TikTok post, according to Daily Dot.
Ellie continued: “People will literally stand outside the door 20 minutes before we’re supposed to open.
“Are you not embarrassed standing right outside the door, waiting for someone to open the door?”
