New Coworker and SHEIN

Society/Culture

my new coworker was telling me how excited she was for her SHEIN order and before I could respond she told me how it’s great because you can use the stuff once and then throw it out. At first I immediately tried to state my case of how terrible it is for the earth and for your own well being but I could tell she didn’t care at all and I didn’t want to come off annoying or self righteous or anything. The next day, she mentioned it again how she was excited and I faked enthusiasm because I wanted to know what she bought lol. So I told her to pull it up. It was $50 of pure junk. This girl bought probably 10 different keychains one for her and one matching one for her friend all of different designs. It was hard to fake enthusiasm but looking at it from the lenses of someone who knows it’s all landfill junk vs getting in the mind of someone who thinks the stuff is cute and cheap is so stark.
