At a Walmart in North East, Maryland, a woman works there whom no one hired as a model, but who acts as if she were one. Her name is Charlene, and her secret weapon is never smiling.
The store started posting photos of her on Facebook posing next to random products: there she is, lying on bags of birdseed with a pose any fashion magazine would envy. In other photos, she appears with cabbages, milk, cookies, and even car tires, always with the same expression that says “this is serious, don’t laugh”.
The effect is devastating: people can’t stop sharing it. The comments filled up with people asking them to raise her salary, and they even hailed her as an absolute legend. Charlene never asked to go viral, but she achieved what no influencer can get by paying for it: an entire country wanting her to get a raise. 😂
