Looping over Queryset does not append to list

Question

I have the following code in my view and when it is run it does not return the records from the queryset.

def pie_chart(request):
    labels = []
    data = []

    queryset = BBSO_Records.objects.all()
    for sos in queryset:
        labels.append(sos.observer_department_ID)
        data.append(sos.site_location_ID)
        print(sos.observer_department_ID)
    
    print("___________________")
    print(labels)

    return render(request, 'sos/charts/overall_records_chart.html', {
        'labels': labels,
        'data': data,
    })

When I run the code the following line "print(sos.observer_department_ID)" produces this is the console which is correct:

• Maintenance
• Maintenance
• SCM
• Maintenance
• Maintenance

However, when I print the list "print(labels)" the following comes out: [<Observer_Department: Maintenance>, <Observer_Department: Maintenance>, <Observer_Department: SCM>, <Observer_Department:t: Maintenance>, <Observer_Department: Maintenance>, <Observer_Department: Maintenance>]

When what should be produced is: [Maintenance, Maintenance, SCM, Maintenance, Maintenance>, Maintenance]

can someone give provide some guidance as to why this is happening?
