As someone who works in a grocery store stocking shelves, if a vendor comes into the store and helps stock your shelves for you, its never an inconvenience, in fact, giving them access to the product saves time AND effort. Outside vendors are appreciated for the work that they do in helping stores.
Exactly! Plus I’d be stoked lol even if I didn’t know who they were
Worked as a vendor and every store I went into was *thrilled* I was there because it meant freeing up space in their stockroom.
when I worked at Walmart my favorite person to see was the woman who stocked frito-lays 🥲she'd help me pick groceries and use her ladder 💪
If Mr beast showed and your not getting a crazy prize, I'd be a little disappointed
Yes!! I'm a vendor, and none of the CEOs for the companies I've worked for would EVER get in a Walmart to find the root cause like that. I'm actually pretty impressed with Mr. Beast by this one
My daughter’s wonderful wife had a bad experience over the Holidays in Atlanta, Ga. They have been together 21 years this year and while at a large mall, SHE went to use the women’s bathroom. She was born female, she doesn’t try and pass as male, she just has a more masculine appearance. The police were called, tracked them down in a different store, police demanded she identify her “real” gender…they weren’t even going to accept her drivers license ..until my daughter showed up and began causing a scene. The GOOD thing, the crowd that gathered were mostly on their side. But police took both of their names to “check them out”. They even accused my daughter of being on alcohol or other substances…she hasn’t had a drink or any other substances in probably 20yrs and they’re both health nuts. In fact, my daughter was the main model for a certain gym around the country-for over 10yrs! 🙄. They’re continuing to look over their shoulders though because police took their names.
Sad how I can't help but feel how bad such actions are going to make a person feel ugly.
Because that's basically what they're saying. You're so ugly must be a man.
I have a daughter, so I can understand them not wanting a male in the bathroom, like they're not going to want a single dad in the woman's bathroom with their toddler daughter regardless of reason.
Messed up times this happens to people.
Sorry to hear that she went though that, though it's hardly shocking with the rhetoric being pushed by far right outlets.
File a complaint with the PD. What those cops did was a violation of APD policy. They need to be reprimanded, but it can't happen if you don't she doesn't file the complaint. If nothing happens from that, contact a lawyer and the ACLU. Make the cops scared of them, instead of the other way around.
This is literally always how it goes. I don't know very many trans friends who have had a bathroom interactions but I have actual friends that have. This stuff scares trans women but it doesn't affect them as much it makes people think of that dumb man in a dress trope which is so far from the truth of trans people. When will people realize that you should support trans people and if you want to protect kids then monitor all the cis, straight, men in your life since statistically they're 80% likely to be the one committing crimes against kids.
Source: I'm trans and have been dealing with this bullshit for over a decade.
Holy shit!
Whenever I hear stories about the unfair representation of events in Gaza, I'm reminded of a TikTok I saw recently of a young Jewish woman reminding everyone that hating the Israeli government's treatment of the conflict is not antisemitic.
She said that she empathizes with the plight of the Muslims more in this conflict, as she sees the stories her grandparents told her of WWII playing out in front of her at the expense of the Muslim communities both in the warzones and around the world.
Sometimes, it feels like some people are afraid to call out bad behaviour in certain groups, due to the thought of being labeled "anti-whatever".
Victims are victims. Regardless of race, religion, gender, creed or any other label. These victims of war deserve the same respect in reporting, regardless of what side of the fight you personally stand. Especially in the case of citizens. They didn't ask for any of this.
I think the biggest difference between the deaths on either side are that the Hamas attacks were specifically targeting civilians, hence they were massacred.
@@PaulFilmer the Israeli government is also specifically targeting civilians
@@loudemopsychic that's where you lose the debate. You can argue they are targeting anyone who MAY he hamas without due course. But not specifically civilians
@loudemopsychic no they're not, hamas is using human shields (which they have a proven track record of doing) and are now firing upon aid transports to facilitate the suffering of their own people.
You really need to do some research, history didn't start in 1948.
targeting those pesky, clever hamas that hide in schools and under hospitals - "cant catch us!" they say. Isreal : "not fair!"@@PaulFilmer
Gotta love how the policy for most schools is "we are a lawless wasteland, get over it"
Right? What’s the point of those resource officers and counselors and teachers having authority in the first place if none will bother to help kids? Not even incidents like this, but when’s the last time you heard any kid getting real help and support? To my experience, it’s always both kids getting punished and the harms continue regardless how severe that harm is
@@heath6802 my counselor tried to help me. Poor guy, his mind wasn't up to the challenge of dealing with me.
I made a hilarious meme about the Nex situation 😂
@@banquetoftheleviathan1404 ya. I got five day suspension for defending myself after someone tried to kick me down the stairs. Granted I dented a radiator with his face, but he started it!
While also having zero tolerance. Lawless wasteland and also if you defend yourself, you're getting expelled too.
Prior to my aunt's cancer diagnosis, she was a product restocker at a logistics company, and went to maybe 10-20 grocery stores in the area to stock certain products and manage placement. Its fairly common for larger brands to do this. The store employees really don't have time to micromanage each special brand, so its best to have someone work in tandem with them.
I was thinking the same thing. If Mr. Beast wants his stuff guaranteed on the shelves, he could hire restockers like the way companies like Coke and Lays does. Everyone at one time or another has had an interaction with these people asking, "Do you know where-" And with them finishing, "Sorry, I don't work here. I just restock (brand name)." With them usually pointing out the logo on their shirt. I understand that Mr. Beast is no where near as big as Coke but if he wants his products on the shelves all the time, it might be worth his company's time to invest on hiring restockers otherwise, he is going to have to rely on the store's restockers. And they're busy.
This is true even for Wal-Mart where the candy bars in question are sold. A lot of the time you do see product vendors from soda to chip vendors restocking the shelves where their product is. A lot of the time larger brands will also make deals with the stores for shelf placement to be at eye-level to hopefully be seen and purchased over their competitors.
@@mekkio77 Maybe that's what he realized when he did this. Maybe he will consider having dedicated employees to restock his stuff instead of relying on stores in doing it. Want your specific product to always have stock? Have people hired specifically to do that. Simple.
Yeah, I know Pepsi, Coke, and Frito Lay, anf others all send their own vendors to the stores to stocks the shelves themselves. That way they can directly manage product, track sales figures, and ensure availability. Only thing unusual in this situation is that the CEO showed up to do the minimum wage work instead of sending someone else.
While working in PR I noticed how the same story in print had a more inclusive and thoughtful headline online - print called Madonna old while online called her aging gracefully or along those lines. This is an obvious example of how editors cater to their perceived audience so while sad I am not surprised that traditional media still does this
It's the same traditional media that categorically refuses to call terrorism, terrorism.
Sorry they aren't biased enough to your perceived reality.
@@chaosking911 You guys actually listen to what they say at all?
madonna stuns in new selfie
@@Gnomezonbacon closing yourself off from one type of media or another only puts you at the mercy of whatever you do consume. I’d say pay attention to everything and then make your own conclusions about what is credible and what is not. And in PR yeah you’d have to read everything if that was the meaning behind your question
That’s really interesting! Especially because the online version is the one that will be used for quotes/information for ticktok/youtube.
I currently go to owasso high school, the school hasn’t even publicly acknowledged it, no moment or silence or anything. I feel like they tried their hardest to keep this under wraps. Now our school district is getting shooting and bomb threats. We have state troopers local PD and Swat Team at my highschool. It feels like a ticking time bomb. I also knew who nex was not personally they would appear in my 4th hour spanish class midway through and sit or talk with my teacher. They seemed like a very kind and quiet person, the type who wouldn’t get into trouble. Rest in peace Nex, sorry you had to die for a bullying incident that people can’t accept others because they aren’t “normal” in their eyes.
The 3 girls who beat nex’s skull are baddies 💅💅💅💅💅💅
@@ErmithOhright wing fools
I live in the area near Owasso, and it's well known the school/cops there downplay any incidents and try to get away with not reporting them if at all possible. Suspending victims of bullying is super common as well.
Stitt, and our education superintendent, both decided they want to use their positions to push the most extreme views possible to audition for national republican offices. Their constant anti trans, anti lgbtq+, anti immigrant, anti poor rhetoric is absolutely responsible for a rise in hate crimes in the state towards many groups.
They just shrug it off because they're "protecting kids and families" from the hypothetical dangers they made up in their heads.
Yeah, any reasonable person knows that they're just trying to cover their ass, it's what administrations do you know. I think most victims of bullying know how it goes.
my high school also suspended the victims of bullying as opposed to the perpetrators. i’m just glad that none of my trans friends had this kinda problem bc i may have had charges against me by the end of it
@@rileyfuckingrifleWhen I was pushed to the brink and beat myself up when no one wanted to fight me. I was recorded and out on the internet. Punching myself in the face, headbutting a metal door, headbutting my football helmet and a few other things. My coach found out. He went to the player who recorded it, forced him to delete it from UA-cam, his phone and called his mother to have him remove any and all files regarding the incident. Then suspended him from a couple games. I miss that man. First two time winner of Mr. West Virginia. He was once in the runnings to become a pitcher for the Boston Red Socks. He was also a great leader. Only one other coach earned my upmost respect (I respect all but those that earn my top most level are those that have shown great compassion). The other coach knew I was concussed. I was swapping emotions after a game. He came over looked at my eyes, shook his head, and grabbed my hand. I was in tears, and was losing it. He never told a soul that I was concussed. He just made sure I had an easy couple weeks of practice. The head coach also made the entire team run all practice when he found out. Those two coaches I talked about the one that comforted me, Wales in that day, looked at my coach and asked, "What are we doing today coach?" His response was "We're gonna run." OC: After that? HC: Run Some more. OC: what about after that? HC: Run some more. Eventually the other coach asked my head coach why, and he explained it to him. The other coach was mad and made them run a county fair drill non stop for an hour. County fair drills are where we swap stations and do different types of running. Snake drills on a hill, crawls through pads, high knees/wind sprints, hitting the pad, running 300 yard striders, etc. in other words a bad time.
@@nyahtonks3914 Nex got a 14 day suspension after her being beaten, the 3 cunts that murdered her did not face any suspension.
As someone who has been following the Israel-Palestine news since October…yeah. I was reading an article referring to a 5 year old Palestinian girl as a “young woman”. The coverage of the war on Gaza by major outlets have been insane to say the least and it breaks my heart.
Thank you for the comment
The passive voice and general dismissal of the extreme number of deaths has made me very disillusioned with mainstream media. Don't even get me started on the Australian mainstream - they've been just as bad as the US and it's infuriating.
It's always so shocking when someone would come on and would explain how several of their family members had died in the bombings, but instead of sympathy they got "but do you condem Hamas?" The implications in my eyes is that Hamas was to blame and there for that family member if they do not condem them. That, or the implication is that the deaths of Israelis were more tragic and more important, so all Palestinians must mourn the Israeli first before their own family.
It's so sick, these people are treated like they aren't human.
Agreed. And don’t get me started on iirc the goddamn New York Times referring to Palestinian children as “minors” in a headline. Bc Palestinians can only be minors, women, or Hamas, I guess.
it's deeply frustrating... i completely agree
I graduated from Owasso High School & while what happened to Nex is sickening, I’m not surprised. From personal experience, the higher ups couldn’t care less about bullying, especially bullying towards LGBTQIA+ kids. They play obvious favoritism towards the straight, white, rich, athletic, christian kids & disregard everyone else. As much as I want Nex’s story to be a wake up call to the Owass parents & school staff, christian right-wing beliefs are so deeply rooted in this town, I don’t think they’re going to change. Rest in power, Nex. You deserved so much better.
Speak for yourself me and my friends are giggling over Nex situation
I’m celebrating cuz non binary is fake 🤣
HeII is hot. Hope Nex likes it.
Those 3 girls are heros
@@AmenahBestVldeosEver I'm sorry you hate yourself so much you have to lash out at people who are happy with themselves. I hope one day you learn to love yourself so you can grow up and not feel the need to take your self hate out on others.
We have REALLY stretched our definition of bullying these days. I'm sorry, but if something has escalated to the point of such intense violence that it's fatal, then we left the realm of bullying a long time ago. That's just organized crime at that point, plan and simple. Bullying is giving someone an undesirable nickname and pranking them regularly, not beating them to death.
Exactly!
That's exactly what 'bullying' has always been. You clearly were only name-called in school, not truly bullied. You think homosexuals during the aids epidemic were just name called??
100% agree💯kids today are evil and show no remorse
Organised crime doesn't sound like the right fit, but I think hate crime perfectly describes it. There's no reason for things to ever go that far unless you hate them, and there's no deep reasons for hatred amongst teenagers so it's almost always based on race/gender/sexuality/religion etc.
@@patientking3005 It's not "kids today." This has been happening for years. Their grandparents probably felt and did the same.
Blows my mind how as a society we put in "power" people that do the opposite of what we ask. and we just sit back and say "omg thats insane" then go about our day till it happens again tomorrow.
Welcome to life and two party democracy
I live in a red state with a blue Governor, so any time anti-trans legislation hits his desk he has to sign it or possibly lose re-election.
@@Omni0404his political career is more important than the safety of trans folks. /S
Fuck him and any other politician or public figure that puts their career/bank account above human lives.
I was just thinking this
And yet voter turnout is still woeful. Despite younger people being so engaged with politics online it doesn’t translate to the polls, hoping people learn sooner rather than later that tweets don’t matter if you don’t do the work.
Thank you so much for talking about Nex, Phil. We’re burying our babies because of the same people screaming “protect our kids”. That school is coving their ass now.
I made a hilarious meme about the Nex situation 😂
@@IAmAQueenCryAbtItcool. Do you want a reaction? Because we’re not giving it to you. Rest in peace Nex. This country will continue to progress in your name. Fly high angel🕊️🕊️🕊️

For real. The same people screaming "protect our kids" are seemingly okay with non cisgender kids being murdered. It's fuckin gross
wow....I live like 20 miles away from there and you literally told us more info on this than our local news has. (the Nex story)
most of what phil said was baseless conjecture, clickbait and speculation. We don't know anything about the Nex story yet, but he's going to get those clicks.
@@daviddowney717 they died on the 8th and their grandmother and several personal witnesses of the events have all described exactly what happened. Even the statement the school gave trying Ryu DESPERATELY tone down the situation admitted that they recommended one student to the hosiptal from that "fight" and numerous sources have stated the three girls who attacked them got Detention while Nex was Suspended for two weeks. We know fucking plenty, a child is dead. Where is your respect for their life?
@@daviddowney717I'm curious how you feel about non-binary people.
@kittinthecreator5790 probably using his respect for life to read the autopsy report which was released about 30 minutes after Phil's show. It states unequivocally trauma did not cause the dearh of nex. If you respect life you care about what caused it to end not just how it can be used as a political cudgel.
The student was not killed as part of a bullying incident, we also don't have statements from the other students as far as I could find them.
Law said nex couldn't use that bathroom, I disagree with that law but it's the law. Again doesn't excuse the bullying incident, but it does explain the suspension.
@@daviddowney717 Should we assume you're one of those using this murder to further your hateful ideas?
little insight into a grocery store backroom.
Whenever a new product is brought in, the shelf plan needs to be altered. In most chains this is done at the cooperate level. What happens from there is the product comes in before the spot is made on the shelf, and is put aside as new product or NOF (not on file). Afterwards depending on how many items are going in, the pricing department or a 3rd party company will come in and move the product around to the new spot and if they can find it in the backroom, stock the new product.
That's the tricky bit, most of the time the NOF spot isn't well kept and sometimes the new product simply gets put away with the run of the mill overstock. Or if whoever does the shelf reset never looks for the product in the back, nobody else is going to go dig it out because we don't notice what's on those pallets, most things take months to get to the shelf due to the planning. Remember he specified he went to stores with 0 sales, those were never put on the shelf for sale.
Mr. Beast isn't the bad guy. He was just a smaller businessman wanting to make sure his product was out there. We have a ton of local/small business items on our shelves and nobody would bat an eye if one of them came into make sure their product was on shelves. And yes compared to Mars and Hershey, even Mr. Beast is TINY.
TL;DR
Things get missed when putting new products into a shelf plan. It's fine that he came in to check on his items, that's what any small business would do, and he was right to do it as it was never put up.

Nex’s death feels like manslaughter at the lightest. Those three girls who attacked them made sure it wasn’t a fight
Likely will be manslaughter though I think the hospital holds much of the blame for failing to diagnose the head trauma
Likely the fight isn't the cause and the massive amount of drugs the guys takes to force an natural change at such a delicate age is the cauae. There's a fight every hour of everyday im HS and a healthy person dying a week later doesn't just happen. You know what does happen complications from such serious procedures. This isn't about right or wrong in this dudes choice rather a child just hitting puberty using chemicals meant to castrate felons and counteract every naturally occurring change the boys going thru. If u think u are a girl why would u need to do this u can wait ur already beleive it nothing gonna change letting u atleast become stable physically and emotionally then take all the drugs u want. This boy dying had nothing to do with the fight the fight just gives it a narrative to exploit this person' and their issues to drain every dollar from the community that thinks the world's after them. U don't need to go shit in a girl's room the schools already had to spend enough time dealing with ur drama get in ur car go home come back. Ur in a underage girl's bathroom as a boy taking a man crap and everything else gross guys do going thru puberty. Maybe the girls were lucky none were alone cause juat like always it be hidden due to a narrative he same way its being exploited as one. Kid had problems his grandma had to adopt him who knows what he really needed the attention for

As a fellow queer okie, my heart breaks for Nex. The way politicians like Ryan Walters and Kevin Stitt continue to target the LGBTQ+ community is sickening. I love my home state but I continue to be disappointed again and again.
Bro all they did was ban biological men from competing against women and their restrooms that’s not targeting that’s looking for girls
Honestly if I weren't in the country I am, or married and a parent I'd be the next Guy Fawkes.

@@Bliipear yes you can rest in it
The segment breaking down the media coverage of Gaza was extremely well done
It kept making my jaw drop each time. I was blown away at how naked it was
Should also be noted that Phil’s coverage of the war had also been lacking. He parroted many of the unsubstantiated claims made by the IDF during the early months of the war, and did not either critically examine them when they were made, nor walk them back when they have been proven to be lies. 40 beheaded babies, mass rape, and the massacres at the music festival have turned out to either be outright lies or far more complicated than initially publicized.
I’m so confused on the so situation but Phil always make it clearer
@@jimmytyson6726 Phil was DEFINITELY guilty of the same thing he's reporting.

The KC Parade shooting is probably the single greatest counter example to one of the most common claims made about guns. This is the "good guy with a gun" approach in action. It doesn't minimize damage. It maximizes collateral damage. My heart goes out to the family of the woman who was killed and everyone else who was wounded.
100% it does and its what I tell people who give that as a reason for guns. I get guns i grew up around them. I even am ok with some gun ownership for hunting or sport shooting but with reasonable limits ex no need for easily made almost automatic rifles with 100 round drums etc. But the current climate in the US or this good guy with a gun narrative is just such a pathetic and terrible logic gun nuts have. In multiple cases the "good guy with a gun" ends up dead, or is part of the damage done, or does nothing in so many of the cases they exist in.
@@zazuchseems I'm going to be following you around and debunking your CNN ladened bullshit.
One, your whole first paragraph is your opinion and in no way reflects the 2A and all of its contexts. You even mentioned hunting, which is the epitome of gun grabber bullshit in that it has nothing to do with 2A rights.
Two, I already debunked your good guy with a gun bullshit in another post, but to address your disdain for gun ownership as a whole, self defense usage vastly outweighs illegal actions.. Average 11-12k murders versus over 2 million instances of self defense... Go ahead and look it up, the FBI and DOJ back those numbers. So people are using guns as intended way more than not.
Except they were all gang members and criminals who legally cannot posses guns but hey, you do you and believe your bullshit.
RIP Nex Benedict, it's a shame that the world loses those who are themselves authentically. Rest easy kiddo.
Yes!! RIP Nex. I went to a vigil and it was really upsetting. There was a slideshow of pictures and Nex looked so happy in all of them :(

As a previous GM of a retail store, we were visited by representatives of brands fairly regularly to make sure stuff was setup properly on shelf. Though, in our case, it was mostly making sure that all signage was up to date and the latest models of stuff was display rather than old ones, I can see the same happening in a market that sells food. My favorite representatives were the ones who brought us donuts 🙂
I've heard a number of times the position that "having more people with guns makes people more safe"...except when people draw and start firing in a crowd because someone else is shooting. Given there are already more guns than poeple in the US, how many guns does it take before that "more safe" point arrives? So far it doesn't seem that approach is working.
My question about the parade shooting is: why did a bunch of people pull out their guns and start shooting wildly? Were all of them trying to be the mythical "good guy with a gun" or something?
The US sounds more and more like an SNL sketch by the day.
yes they where trying to be that, and proves that more often then not a "good guy with a gun" doesnt in fact help.
They were trying to jump into a fight to help their friends
@@zazuchThe FBI found that over 60% of public shootings not inside of a federal gun-free zone (school, hospital, etc.) have been stopped or prevented by the proverbial good guy with a gun. That's more than half, so yes, they are in fact more helpful than harmful.
@@EvanDizasterous or here me out. If we just had some sensible gun laws you wouldnt need a "good guy" with a gun if there was even less bad guys with guns ;) Also every good guy with a gun can turn to a bad guy real quick this is the problem. Or they turn into a dead good guy with a gun. Fact is MORE guns into this already volatile situation isn't the rational or logical solution you all seem to think it is. I like guns, I get their purpose and fun around them. But the current mindset of gun culture in this country isnt the way it should be.
@@zazuch @zazuch if you were correct, then after Bruen.. And after more and more states enacted constitutional carry.. Gun violence would be on the rise. You guys said it'd be the wild west. What happened? As of q4 2023, overall gun violence has dropped. There was, however, an increase in self defense shootings in places like Philly where it was near impossible to obtain a CCW.
We already have over 30,000 gun laws on the books. What "sensible gun legislation" would have prevented this shooting? Everyone involved weren't allowed to own guns, two of them being kids. Yet here we are. What part of criminals not giving a fuck about your gun laws aren't the left grasping here?
WOW, I live in Owasso, Oklahoma and I heard about this case but didn't know it happened here...it just said Oklahoma 😢 it's so sad and terrible how Owasso High School handled this 😡🤬😡

there's such a massive organized campaign to derail conversation "do you condemn hamas tho? what about the israeli babies? you are an antisemite" it's legitimately so exhausting to speak publicly about it. so thank you for covering this topic...
Thank you Phil for covering the Intercept report about Gaza. They were able to quantify what some of us have been seeing the entire time. This is Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent in action. The media coverage is strongly affecting the perspectives of their viewers.

Big ups to The Intercept for using data to show media bias. Ground News and AllSides are pretty good at aggregating what's in the headlines too. People need to see this stuff. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for covering the Nex story. 😢 tragic death due to an environment of hate in OK
Nex died the day after being beat, and they can’t confirm if one has to do with the other…come on! This is ridiculous! #JusticeForNex
As someone who just left working at Walgreens because of poor management and understaffing, extra vendors coming in (if they come in) is normal, but the vendors are rarely helpful (at this store at least). It’s very possible that this store is an outlier due to its distance from other stores.
Thank you for not revealing Nex's birthname
I have no words for Nex's story. Just enrages me so much.
it’s insane to think this happened. i live in owasso right by the high school and i just drove by a bunch of students holding signs as justice for nex. what a loss 💔
As someone from Owasso class 09, this is the best, unbiased, non local news update on Nex Benedict. Thank you for that. There's a lot of emotion driven exaggeration going on and believe me, I get it! This is an absolute tragedy and nothing will bring Nex back and there's blööd on many hands and at upsettingly high levels of authority. I'm queer af in a very rural area these days and was in the closet all through school in a class of 700ish. I'm fing furious and I hope beyond hope that this opens eyes that you can't say you wanna save the kids but actively harm trans kids with these laws. Simply unacceptable. Trans kids: we see you, you are loved, and you matter. Have hope and know that you're not alone. We've got to do better and VOTE!!
Working in Retail this is literally common for representatives to come in and check on their product, But the Owner of the company himself coming in is insanely respectable!
In regards to the mr beast story, as someone who worked at walmart they have systems in place where it knows how many of an item fits on a shelf and creates a "pick list" to pick those items when so many are sold. There are dozens of reasons it could have been empty. People stealing, people trolling and hiding merchandise, or someone recently came and bought them all. The pick list isn't generated every few minutes. When I worked it was more like every 6 hours or so. Lots of companies have people come in and stock their own products at walmarts like coke, Pepsi, frito lay. So him coming in and doing it would not have affected a workers day at all.
In some cases he went in and it was just that the bars where sitting in their original shipping packing in the back and just flat out never got stocked where they where suppose to be. I dont think he was to shocked of being sold out(which he did find in some places). But was imho rightfully a bit annoyed of them just sitting in the back for days never being put out.
I used to be a merchandiser and my job was to go in on behalf of both the companies and the stores corporate HQ in order to make sure the product got on the shelves so it can be sold and I had store managers yell at me among other things but the employees loved me because I didn't just order them to put out the product, I helped stock the shelves and everything
As a trans teacher with a few trans student, Nex’s death hit terrifyingly close to home. I spent an extra hour after school holding space for my trans students to cry and vent about their own fears. In general, there is a lot of concern going into this election year not only for trans rights but trans safety. RIP Nex
That fact you happen to have a few trans students is concerning
They`re not even hiding their expectation some of the world has to be trans...well of course a trans teacher just so happens to have trans students! LIke a Jehovah`s Witness teacher just happens to have a few Jehovah`s Witness students...pure coincidence.@@jaycon6919
@@jaycon6919 why? At least they’re allowed around children.
Two head injuries (ex concussions) within a short period of time can absolutely cause death.
Nex's death is a tragedy and many of Oklahoma's state officials absolutely have blood on their hands. Dehumanizing and demonizing rhetoric from the top is taken as marching orders at the bottom.
Nex R.I.P
Oklahoma keeps sliding further backwards and our lawmakers only care about WASP residents. Between what was allowed to happen to Nex, the destroying of LGBT book stores, the anti-drag laws they try to pass, the school partnership with PragerU, the superintendent of Tulsa schools being forced out of her position because she was pro teaching kids about the Tulsa Race Massacre, and other important history, it's terrifying. Oklahoma has a joke of a State Superintendent, except its not a funny joke, its a scary one. With Ryan Walters, Oklahoma State Superintendent, and Kevin Stitt, Oklahoma Govenor, in charge, I doubt there will be any accountability for school officials that allowed Nex's death. They will find some way to protect those that didnt protect the kids they were in charge of.
Whether or not Nex was a victim of a hate crime, they were still assaulted and the perpetrators should be charged as such.
Yes!!
Except Nex started the fight apparently, so should she as the perpetrator be charged?
@@andymeier7708 hearsay from bigot monster children and police with no evidence to back it up try again?

Rest in Power Nex. As a trans person who was bullied through all of elementary and high school and never felt they could come out when they were younger, I hope they actually hold these bullies accountable.
So you weren`t bullied for being trans then, if you hadn`t come out. And bullied in elementary school? Wow, that must have been tough, give us an example of being bullied in elementary school. Don`t be so vague...it`s the only way to work together for a better, bullying-free world.

Regarding the Nex situation:
As a parent, Nex's situation resonates with me, reminding me of my own children. I want to emphasize that the loss of a child is an experience no parent should endure. Since this news emerged, there has been widespread misinformation surrounding the circumstances. It's crucial for everyone to await the complete investigation findings. While it's important to express support for Nex and their family during this tragedy, it's equally vital not to jump to conclusions and exacerbate the situation.
There have been disturbing posts on the OPS X site targeting young students, with some labeling them as "future murderers." This is deeply inappropriate. We cannot make assumptions about these students' backgrounds or identities, just as we cannot assume this incident is automatically a hate crime due to its occurrence in conservative Oklahoma.
Regarding Nex's involvement, they have stated that they didn't even know the other students involved, as they are a sophomore and the others students are freshmen. The altercation reportedly began when someone made a comment that Nex found offensive, leading to Nex pouring water on them. While pouring water shouldn't escalate to physical violence, the situation unfolded unpredictably.
Looking at the facts, Nex initiated physical aggression, which escalated matters. At this point, it doesn't seem to be a hate crime against a transgender person as Nex started it - and what we don't know is the identity of the other students (race, gender, sexuality) as it could easily be turned around as being a racial hate crime on Nex's part for the assault (as benign as it was). WE DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN THAT RABBIT HOLE!
The Medical Examiner's office concluded that the death wasn't related to trauma. I speculate that Nex may have had an allergic reaction to a pain shot, leading to anaphylactic shock.
Let's honor the life of the child lost and refrain from making baseless assumptions or spreading divisive narratives. We must wait for all the facts to surface before forming opinions or sharing content that could perpetuate unfounded claims.
The intercept segment was eye opening, thank you!
Thank you for talking about Nex. I appreciate this coverage so much
I made a hilarious meme about the Nex situation 😂

I hate all the news reporting it was a "fight" and the "death" of Nex. No, 3 bullies beat her in the bathroom giving her injuries that led to her death. It was a beating, not a fight. It was murder
yes.
I'm so glad there was a study done to compare the coverage in Gaza. While I sat here horrified seeing the reality of what's going on, understanding the historical contexts of everything that led to October 7th I found myself constantly wondering if I'm missing something important, because the media I was consuming seemed to be painting a different story. I feel relieved to know that I wasnt going crazy that I wasn't somehow too far gone to see the "truth" that mainstream media was putting out, but there really was an inherent bias in the coverage. It's such a disservice to both sides when media that is meant to present a neutral reporting starts to let their personal opinions seep through
It is tragic for both sides. The fact remains, Hamas initiated this current conflict with an act of terror. Don't complain when there are brutal consequences to such terror. Were you this confused when the disgraced Harvard president made her insensitive anti-semitic remarks!? Anti-semitic bias in the establishments is real.
@@funkspinna okay but i never said anything about hamas not being brutal in their onslaught. if anything this reporting is saying that thats all world media is focusing on. nothing before nothing after. personally, im not one to side behind tit for tat, but by your own logic, then what did israel expect after years of oppression and occupation? but thats not right either is it? its not about who started it or how they started it or how anyone continues it, its about the people suffering through it through no fault of their own. babies and young children and innocent civilians can and should complain because they shouldnt have any consequences from terrors NOT commited by them. and anyone who says they should is on the side of collective punishment, and has completely lost the plot.
@@meineandi Agreed about the innocents. Free Palestine...from Hamas.
@@funkspinna bro... what even
@@meineandi You just assumed my gender. How dare you. LOL
As some who, while not trans himself, has a trans sibling, and has been an lgbtq ally for half a decade (literally since I learned the nuances at 15), what happened to Nex scares me. My sister is such an important figure in my life, and the idea of her being *murdered* just for being who she is infuriates me. Let me make one thing clear: I am not a lawyer, and even I can tell that this was hate-based murder.
Your sister`s pretending to be a man? Well, that`s not being who she is.
Anybody can say such nonsense So Gen Z will lead a revolution in consciousness? It`s pretty fascistic to say a generation is superior to a previous one and is more intelligent. If Gen Z was intelligent, nonsense like gender ideology and trans wouldn`t have taken such a hold.@@voidaccount12345
Thank you for covering the Nex Benedict story. They deserve to get justice and we need to do better by lgbtqia+ students, especially in Oklahoma.
They? More than one person was beat?
Your lack of understanding of using singular they isn't cute, it's pathetic.

Focus on that. @@TalibanSymphonyOrchestra
@@TalibanSymphonyOrchestra I know odds are you're just a troll but Nex Benedict used they/them pronouns.

Hell, even outside grocery stores, it's not uncommon to have a rep come in and ensure their product is being presented well. On top of that, brand ambassadors have been some of the most knowledgeable employees when it comes to products, which, depending on the industry, is extremely important. Many can imagine how important that is for smaller, less well-known brands. Because of this, I've made so many connections with people in the northeast snowboarding scene.
Why is it that there isn't more news channels like you. You are hands down the best source for a news outlet. I don't know what we would do without you, thank you!!!
Turns out he lied about nex. So now what u gonna say
@@billyford2262so call him out. Correct him. Message him. He has corrected himself when evidence has been provided. Let him know. He even had a text line. Provide proof he got it wrong with evidence.
Nex Benedict was a young woman who was a victim of gender ideology. Facts!
Triggered by victims?
Definitely triggered by victims 😂
UPDATE: Nex was the one who instigated the fight by throwing water on one of the girls (which by legal definition is assault). In response, the girl grabbed Nex's hair. Nex then threw that girl into a hand-dryer, and that started the full on fight. Also, as the autopsy has shown, Nex committed suicide.
I used to like DeFranco, but he doesn't care about waiting for facts anymore, and simply wants that clickbait for views. Sad.

@@Super-BallSharpit wasnt a coverup died on anti depressants
While I didn’t work at Walmart I have worked at Kohls and there were a few times my manager had me help various brand representatives restock shelves or put out displays. It’s literally part of the job and there are processes in place to get it done efficiently. I very much doubt Jimmy was just walking into their backroom and ordering employees to drop what they’re doing and get his merch out, that’s not how that works.
I've never worked at a grocery store before so I can't speak for scheduling stocking - but as someone who works in a retail store and whose primary responsibility is opening shipment and stocking the toy department, I can totally understand why/how the Feastibles are sitting in the back room. We get so much shipped to us (most of which we don't even need) and absolutely NO help to get product on the shelves. I'm constantly drowning in boxes because I can only do so much on my own. So, yeah, them getting left in the back? Can totally see how they ends up happening.
Nex killed herself, update the title
You know he'll just delete this
Thats a He. Or at the very least, a They. And no, we don't know this. The OMEO has not been a credible association or up to national standards for 15 years.
It's a good thing the body cam footage and facts are coming out about Nex. It's sad when anyone passes especially someone so young but it's good to get the facts straight. The media spun this one really hard and that's the real hate crime.
They were trying for a LGBT George Floyd
I'm one of the people who go into Walmarts and restocks the items from the manufacturers I represent. There isn't often a lot of issue with going in the back to get merchandise to put on shelves provided he got permission beforehand. I'm sure he didn't just go into stores and demand employees stock his products. It sounds like they've given him access to the vendor app so he can track sales, out scans, deliveries, etc. so he can see where the issues are and if there is stock of each variety in the store.
As a butcher, but one in a supermarkets, I have been in stores that hire and hold staff well and those that dont. At one store I kept getting told "well get new staff after the quiet season" that never happened. The store was used to prop up or build newer flagship stores and all the resources built by us were funnelled away. The distribution system broke on a regular basis leaving us with either no delivery or delivery showing up at 3pm when we started at 6am, then copped it from higher ups about shelves being empty
I feel so bad for her parents. They lost their daughter twice.😢

Thanks again Phil, for saying nothing of value
I worked in walmart for 8 years or so as an overnight stalker. We did have reps form Sarah Lee and Pepsi for example who would come in and stock their own product and face it. It was super nice to not have to deal with some of it.

I raised my eyebrow for a second reading stalker! 🤣

So if your kid gets the sh*t kicked out of them at school but doesn’t die right away no harm, no foul. If your kid is the target of an on going bullying campaign they cannot depend on the many layers of the system put in place to protect them but can count on that system to also fail them after death.

He’s been far left for years now. It was kinda sad, he wasn’t unbiased for a bit then around 2016 he drifted into the cesspool.
Love the 30 minute videos! Thank you!
In regards to Mr. Beast going in to stock his candy bars my husband works for frito lay and a lot of vendors at Walmart and other stores do this exact thing. Show up and have their product scanned in and then put it on the shelves themselves. This ensures their product is being put out how they want and some stores they even go back multiple times a day to ensure stock doesn’t run out like on Super Bowl Sunday.
I didn’t realize this was a thing until my husband got this job. There are obviously still a lot stocked by Walmart employees but I’m sure they’re overloaded most days.
I never realized this until my husband got this job so
Love these long videos
I used to run a chain corner store in Canada. We had reps for jerky, Coke, Pepsi, 2 different Chips, 3 different tobacco, a snack cake company and probably more I'm forgetting. 90% of those would help stock up their products because it's in the company's best interest. Product only sells when its on the floor.
I worked as a merchandiser for a “large chip brand” so just my two cents on the feastables sitch- he’s not making more work for Walmart employees likely, he’s more likely figuring out if he is going to hire merchandisers (which from what I understand he at least doesn’t have any in my area) and if that cost is going to allow him to still be profitable. A lot of products you see on shelves are put there by reps, pop, chips, even plants. I have also freelanced on an app for merchandising, I’ve seen feastables on that app looking for people to restock/audit shelves but honestly if this is such a big issue- I’m sure if he has anyone advising his business moves, he’s looking into hiring more merchandisers countrywide. And side note to people who didn’t know about merchandisers - please stop getting upset at people you see stocking the shelves lol 1) just out of decency, but 2) some of them DONT WORK FOR THE STORE so no I *cant* help you find something in the craft section halfway across the store. 😂
The whole Kansas City situation really just shows how impractical the entire argument of "good guys with a gun" really is. Once everybody starts shooting and nobody know what they're shooting at, there are no more good guys in that situation. It's just chaos. That certainly applies for assault weapons, but it applies to small caliber firearms just the same as we see in this case. Somebody uninvolved lost their life over a man's hurt ego (whole other topic) and if these people hadn't had the broad access they did, it would NOT have happened.
@@voidaccount12345not really, because that 1 guy with a gun doesn’t control the situation. If everyone has a gun and no one saw the shot, everyone is going to panic and look for people aiming.
@@MrT-hs6su precisely. in a situation like that even tactical training does little to nothing to alleviate the absolute chaos that ensues once *everyone* starts blasting because they think they know who the "bad guy" is and see themselves as the good guy. that mantra is actively harmful.
Your vessi advertising game just leveled up, i think 😂😂
It baffles me that there's any debate whatsoever about gun violence being about the guns, and hate crimes being about hate.
the first story about nex, I can't even fathom the fear and sadness their family is enduring. whether you support lgbtq+ people or you're against it this was a CHILD, a baby, this poor child lost their life. rest in peace.
Yeah, and the family is receiving hate too. It’s really upsetting:(
16 is a grown adult
I worked at Walmart for 5 years through college. If the owner of a brand came in I'd prioritize their product over anything else. And be happy to do it. I sold cell phones and companies demand crazy stuff and expect brand promotion for nothing.
I appreciate your input on pretty much all topics you remain the only non biased news source left it seems
Justice for Nex Benedict!
As someone who’s worked retail I’ve had people come up to me arguing asking why their products aren’t on the shelves meanwhile my name tag still said “new employee”, Mr beast doesn’t seem to be someone who would do that and if he did restock himself I don’t take issue with how he handled this
27:26 - Thank you for covering this, Phil. I don’t understand how people out there don’t think that this bias is actually happening or existent. Your coverage makes it unmistakable.
I used to work at a grocery store and specific vendors used to come in and restock their products on the shelf regularly. Pretty standard. I remember a manager got fired for taking kick backs from a vendor for letting them put their products in certain parts of the store that were high traffic/visibility.
Another great show. Cheers!
Regarding the Mr Beast stuff, I used to work as a vendor for a major soda company, which basically involves going to Walmarts, Safeways, etc, creating orders for the products they are running low on and actually breaking down pallets and stocking items ourselves from the back. It's actually like a well established thing and certain brands don't get put out on the shelves at all by employees because vendors would be the ones to handle it. Coca Cola, Lays, Pepsi, Canada Dry, Wonder Bread, Entenmanns, all have vendors that basically have routes of stores they visit every week or so to fill orders and help stock their shelves. It's a little bit different in each store and which brand you work for, but I personally stocked Walmart shelves many times without ever being a Walmart employee.
thank you for talking about nex. i hear all kinds of "protect the children" bs but now that it's a trans kid dead on the ground? they couldn't care less
Having been a Walmart employee, restocking at my store only occurred by the night staff at the end of the day. There was a whole crew responsible for just restocking. The regular sales staff didn't check or bring out stock unless asked by a customer.
first of all, no matter where your stance on "bathroom politics" no one should lose their child due to bullying .really sad to see such a lively kid pass alway.
I'm an overnight stocker at Walmart and the truth is that we won't push product as much as we should. Sadly, what gets stocked is based on management and what happens to be on our pallets as we work them. I love these chocolate bars so I've been advocating them in my store, and that's why they are stocked at my store, but I can imagine how frustrating it can be if you have a less amicable store owner or team lead who just sees freight times and man-hours rather than sales and customers.
Why aren't those candy bars called "Beastables"????
