The trend of “quiet quitting” has been a hot topic of conversation online and a Liquorland employee is just the most recent person to hop on the trend by taking a nap on the floor behind the cash register.
According to a September Gallup Poll, “Quiet quitters” make up at least 50% of the U.S. workforce. The study also found that everyone else is either engaged (32%) or actively disengaged (18%). The latter are “loud quitters.”
In the video, TikToker @.kuhtreena asked viewers, “Do you guys want to see some quiet quitting?” The camera then pans out, showing her laying down on the floor using a roll of receipt paper as a pillow behind the counter. All while on the clock at Liquorland.
“The shop is open right now,” she says. “This is the quietest quitting you can ever see. I’m gonna take a nap.” In the text overlay of the video, she wrote, “quiet quitting in retail.” Evanescence’s song “Bring Me to Life” can be heard playing in the background.
She then added in the caption, “the grind doesn’t stop but this bitch does.” The video reached over 300,000 views before being removed.
Viewers including many fellow Liquorland employees shared their thoughts.
“As a fellow Liquorland employee…. same,” a fellow Liquorland employee wrote.
“Ayooo fellow Liquorland employee!! the number of times I’ve wanted to do this lmao,” another confirmed.
“Low-key thinking of doing that rn lol,” someone agreed.
Others revealed their way of “quietly quitting” their jobs.
“The number of hours I spent sitting on a milk crate in the cool room hungover when I worked at Liquorland AHAHA,” one viewer shared.
“I used to pretend I was cleaning out under the desk just so I could sit on the floor,” another added.
“I think I spend at least half on my shifts at Liquorland sitting on the yellow safety step,” one viewer said.
Some workers called out @.kuhtreena for her actions noting potential consequences for what she did.
“My boss caught me sitting down. I suggest doing it in front of an open cupboard. lol,” one viewer said.
“I sat down on the job for 5 minutes and a customer sent pictures to [corporate] to complain,” another shared.
“i got fired for literally just having a 5 min break,” a third revealed.
