If you’ve ever worked in retail before, you already know how excruciating it can be—and so does Holly Laing. She found viral fame thanks to her hilarious skits, where she’s seen recreating some of the strangest moments from her life as a retail worker.
Holly Laing describes herself as a “random 23-year-old from England who attempts to make people laugh on the internet.” She’s now followed by 1.6 million people on TikTok and her videos received over 100 million likes, but she had to go a long way before getting there.
Laing worked all over the British high street, everywhere from Poundland and Wilko to Domino’s Pizza and Sports Direct in her youth, but those times are still fresh in her memory. She often revisits them in her viral clips, which mostly feature hilarious stories of her time working in high street stores and dealing with all sorts of difficult customers.
From dealing with shoppers complaining about things costing more than £1 at Poundland to facing angry diners who didn’t get a sauce alongside their pizza order, Laing has truly seen it all. You’ll find her videos super relatable if you’ve worked in retail before and they’ll make you rethink how you treat retail workers in the future.
