In today’s world, where looks can often shape opinions, Ariana Josephine, a dedicated employee at Home Depot, found herself in the middle of a big online debate. During her shift at the famous hardware store, Ariana took a selfie and posted it on social media, and it didn’t take long for it to get noticed. In the picture, Ariana looked confident, with her stylish makeup, glasses, and hair pulled back in a sleek style.
It was easy to tell from her bright orange apron—the signature look of Home Depot employees who help mix paint colors—that Ariana worked at one of the chain’s locations in Texas, where she’s from. But it wasn’t just the picture that got people talking. Her caption sparked quite a bit of conversation. She openly shared that she often hears she’s “too pretty” to be working at Home Depot.
Thanks to the power of social media, Ariana’s post quickly went viral, making her, and Home Depot, a trending topic for days. The photo gained an incredible thirty-five million views, with over one hundred thousand likes and thousands of people bookmarking it. The response to her post was split, revealing just how different people’s opinions can be.
A lot of people applauded Ariana for her hard work and perseverance. They admired how she could balance her job at Home Depot while pursuing a college degree. Supporters appreciated how dedicated she was to helping customers find the right paint for their home improvement projects. Some even humorously said they might stop shopping at other stores like Lowe’s.
One fan wrote, “Any girl with this mindset is serious,” acknowledging Ariana’s determination and dedication to her job.
But not everyone was on her side. Some people criticized her for saying she was “too pretty” to work at Home Depot, accusing her of seeking attention. Others even questioned her faith, saying that her profile picture didn’t seem to match her claim of being a Christian.
