I work at Walmart, but nothing really interesting happens. Well, except today when a co-worker found a 2-year-old outdated food product on the shelf. Like, ew.
I worked for WalMart for over three years in the garden dept. When I was first hired, we were remodeling the store. As I am breaking down cardboard to take to the back, one of the managers runs by at a full sprint. Behind him is a customer waving a baseball bat at the manager. One of the other customers wants to know if I am going to do anything to stop the baseball wielding customer. I said "Nope, Not being paid near enough to interfere. The manager knows where security is". I would have been fired if I had tried to do anything. I was merely a floor associate. A 5' 3" 45 year old female floor associate.
I watched a woman push her completely loaded up cart through the self-check out area and through the doors with two WalMart associates chasing after her, and the woman just ignored her as she tried to load up her car. By the time I finished with my check out the woman was crying about a "misunderstanding" as the cops spoke to her. The same week a dude sprinted through the front doors with a case of beer under his arm and the elderly greeted chased after him until he hopped into his buddy's car. This particular WalMart now has a designated parking area just for the cops with a blue flashing light.
I actively avoid walmart. Always people trolling the parking lots soliciting, shit is crowded as fuck, merchandise always busted out, etc. If the only place to get something is from walmart then I will go without, straight up.
I don’t work at Walmart (but I do merchandising and we were in a Walmart) this random guy walks up to me and says “you work here??” I said “no.. I don’t” he said “I was finna cuss you out” I was confused but headed back to work. I hope that guy is okay. What a rebel.
I was a truck unloader, once we found a pallet of Plasma Tv's stacked face up (which you are not supposed to do with Plasma) that was not the bad part, what was, was the approximate 2000lb pallet of Dog food placed directly on top of the Tv's...which were then all placed on the shelf to sell. I did quite a lot of "customer carry outs" which were almost always stupid people which ranged in stupid from trying to put a 50" TV into a Beetle, to four frat guys buying too many things and trying to figure out which frat bro to leave behind..but worst one was a guy who asked me to bring out his 65" TV to the front, when i did, he pulled up on a motorcycle with a hand full of bungee cords and wanted me to "strap the TV" to it....I'm like "dude, the TV is bigger than you and your motorcycle there's absolutely no way this works"...he then says "Damn, I guess I'll go get my truck"....people of Walmart, if you have larger cars bring them and quit impulse buying. I have so many, but it's not strictly "Walmart" so much as it is retail in general..the general public are about 60 to 70% retarded, we're talking full adults who struggle to read, navigate, understand signing and basic etiquette, bad parents, over reactions etc...working retail will make you hate Holidays and people in general.
I feel you on the too small a vehicle thing. I didn't work at Wal-Mart but at my old store, we supplied cookies, donuts, fruits and cases of bottled water for a charity thing associated with a major sporting event and the dipshit picking up, I shit thee not, 12,000 donuts, 50,000 cookies, 4,000 apples and a fucking _pallet_ of water bottles shows up in a goddamn PT Cruiser! Are you shitting me?! 😆
I've been working in a maximum security correctional facility for the last 12 years and I find the inmates to on average be much easier to deal with than retail customers. My time in retail changed me forever and I've hated people ever since. I don't talk to strangers, despise small talk and avoid everyone unless I know them already.
"they general public..." Yes, it certainly feels that way sometimes. The most idealistic people I know have never worked retail or customer service. I think everyone should do retail work in their youth.
@@japanpanda2179 Yes. Women came running out of the bathroom and told us what was happening in there. Called 911 and got help. Co worker held her wounds to keep the blood from gushing out.
My third day on the job I was working in seasonal and I was walking down the isle when I heard it. Two old ladies are beating the living daylights out of each other with Winnie the Pooh wrapping paper. It was nuts! Another time,about a week later,I was on an isle in pets and I stepped around the corner,onto the dog bed isle,and some lady is laying on one in the middle of the floor. I couldn't help it and I asked,"Why?" She told me she was trying to see if it was comfortable enough for her dog. (I suggested she bing him in,let him test it and ask.)
I worked at Walmart for 3 months when I was 19 and my managers were actually very nice, I would even venture to say they were parental to me. But this one coworker was always on my case, telling me I wasn't folding the clothes fast enough. I can't really remember what else she said to me, but I often came home crying because of something she said.
Former Meijer employee here (walmart but red instead of blue). There was a guy that came in dressed in a full gorilla costume and started acting like a damn gorilla to the customers and staff. He ended buying 10 bunches of bananas before leaving. There was also this one time a guy got fired and ran down the soup can aisle arms outstretched and knocked over as much stuff as he could and ran out the door. Wasn't working that day so I didn't have to clean it up. There was also a woman that looked like a living corpse that lived at the store for 3 days. Was awake for 3 days straight made a mess of the shoes and fashion departments ending paying $1000 dollars for Christmas decor and left. 2 black chicks put $300 dollars worth of groceries in a sterilite container and tried to pay for the container. Off-duty cop was there, they got arrested.
I'm friends with sisters, one works at WalMart, the other worked at Meijer. WM sister has far more horror stories, but her store wasn't regularly set on fire like M sister's. M sis was shocked at how many customers insisted on buying their full carts of merch before evacuating, even though the place is full of smoke.
A lady got mad at me because we didn't have a particular dog food in stock. I worked in the garden center. I knew nothing about the pet products and yet I went through the trouble of figuring out if we had any and still got yelled at. Found moldy popcorn chicken from the warm dinner foods way back behind products in the Lawn and Garden department. Like it was more mold than chicken. Cup of Pink and grey fluffy mold.
I didn't necessarily "work" at Wal-Mart but rather a remodling company that did a full store remodel, found a dude who literally was sitting crisscross on the floor in front of a aisle of charging banks and phone chargers using an exacto knife to cut apart a bunch of boxes. Funny thing was he had his hands stuffed beneath the bottom shelf so the security cams wouldnt see him. I just happened to be placing items on the other side and dropped something under it.
I worked in dairy as an overnight stocker. One night looked over my shoulder to see a drunk man pissing in the water fountain. I'll never drink out of a public water fountain again.
I used to work at walmart several years ago. register-work was a mixed bag at the best of times, but some of the higher-ups were the epitome of asinine at times. First 3 weeks of me being there, one of those people that walk around and seem to do pretty much nothing grabbed a bunch of our department's people and sent us up front. I used to work in electronics, and our registers were different from the ones up front. I was trained to use a register with a screen on it, which had pretty much all of the procedure steps shown to you, and if you made a mistake, you could see where you screwed up and fix it in seconds. Well, the lady tossed me on one that did not have one of those screens. I tried to explain to her that I'd never been trained to use one of those, but she gave me a look of disgust and said I'd be fine and then walked away. I spent 20 minutes trying to ring up a single customer. When the lady I was ringing up asked why 1. I was taking so long and 2. why'd I look nervous when I turned the register on. I explained that I had been there less than a month and that I had no idea how to use this model of register as this one wasn't used in electronics and had no screen on it. She sighed and looked a little impatient, but thankfully didn't grouch-out at me. Now, the Asian-looking dude behind her had listened in too, and he started laughing his butt off. Eventually the useless-walker-lady came back and asked why I was still ringing up the same customer as before. I once more explained to her what I'd said before, this time with the laughing guy laughing again and the woman glaring at her. I was sent back to electronics and she took over instead.
I used to race the scooters through the toy aisle while I waited for family. Did that until I was like 24. I think the employees were just glad I went and put it back when I was done and didn't make a mess. 😂
Never worked at Walmart. One time I go grocery shopping. An older person walks into the bathroom. An hour later, a manager runs out and says "D*mn it, someone died in the bathroom again"....
I am retired Navy. I did 20 years. I took a job at the Target. I worked on the overnight shift. I got a job on a military base making $14 an hour making ID cards. I told the supervisor that would be my last day. He threatened me that I'd never work at a Target again. Turns out that he was fired for making people work "off the clock".
Everyone is always talking about someone pooping at Walmart. When I worked there never happened once thank heavens, but there were some real weirdos that visited the one that I worked at. I used to stock products and I had this creepy guy and his GF stock me. I told management but they did not take me seriously.They even made us employees park where they did not light the parking lot to make matters worse. Forget that ended up calling cops and had a family member pick me up from work everyday. I quit because my manager screamed me in front of customers. Even customers said he was ridiculous.
That walmart one where the manger was doing discounts for his aunt would get him fired if reported to corp could have gotten him fired and stopped her stealing from the store with her discounts
I worked in the shoe department (because walmart doesnt care where they put you), and I had some people put fish sticks in a pair of boots. We didnt know this. Cut to several days later, and I now know. I search for hours for a dead mouse, or something - cant find anything. I start tearing apart the display boxes looking for something... anything. My 'im done' moment came when people started reporting me to management that I need to be reprimanded for not bathing. I take my hygiene very seriously, but on top of that, the smell was nothing like what an unclean human smells like. Customers are idiots. So are people that intentionally put fish sticks in shoes. So are people in general. Ultimately, they had put some fish sticks in a pair of boots then packed it back up and put it on the shelf. 100% intentionally done. We didnt know exactly what it was, so finding it was that much harder.
I accidentally stole like 68 cents when I worked at a Walmart five years ago. A customer only wanted the paper part of their change and not the coins so I set them aside, forgot to put them in the drawer, and later picked them up without thinking.
I worked in photo at the Great Bend store. Young girl, maybe 18 or 19. She told me that she had a roll that she was working on and the manager and police had to be called. I told her that I needed to double check. She then told me it was child porn. I called the manager and the manager and I looked at the pictures to double check. It was a woman giving birth and some of the pictures was as the baby was coming out of her. It was bloody and gross, but they were personal and a memory that the lady wanted to remember. I was told to explain the difference between birth pics and child porn. Jeez!
At my local Walmart a couple months ago, some old lady died after she got backed over in the parking lot by another old lady who didn't even know she did it
The management was a FUCKING DISGRACE, and I'm being the Messiah for putting it that way. It was a miracle how the store didn't go under with that management. I had a college diploma in accounting with a 2.67 GPA, and I am almost certain that I could've run that store better than the management.
On the cart dude that found half a chicken, I can top it. In maintenance every night we had to go out and round up carts twice on our shifts, and I found a bag full of rotting shrimp/crawdads. They were obviously out there all day, in the florida heat, and probably rotting before they were put there.
I've got that beat! We had a, presumably, homeless guy walk in and go to the deli fridge by the entrance, where the chill blasted chickens were, opened an eight piece of fried chicken, sat down and ate it all, closed the package back up, put it back and walked out!
Not me- but a close friend worked at a WalMart for a while, his slogan was "We don't get paid enough to care" Anyways- he set up a HUGE phone display, like hundreds of cards. And his boss made him take it all down because it was THREE PEGS OFF. Not shelves, not aisles, PEGS. He was like three centimeters off. That was when he started looking for a better job.
My Mom worked at Walmart for some thirty years. She always had a story to tell but one that stands out was back during Black Friday sales, there was a queue for people wanting one of the new 50-inch TVs. Now, keep in mind, this was in the days BEFORE plasma and flatscreens, so these TVs were MASSIVE and the boxes they came in just as big. Now, my Mom, God Bless her, was a big woman and she was the overseer of this queue when another large woman basically charged past her to try and, I guess, cut in line for one of the TVs. Well, the woman went past Mom and she fell backwards, clipboard in one hand, hand radio in the other, right into the empty box of the 50-in TV they had been using for display. Packing peanuts flew everywhere and Mom was on the radio yelling for anyone to get to her area and help out. Luckily my Dad, who was the Assistant Chief of City Police, had brought me with him to see how Mom was doing so he came running over and helped two others pull Mom out of the box. Turns out the woman who had pushed Mom had tried to cut in another line for something else and had been warned that if she did it again, she would be removed from the building. Needless to say, she left without a TV or anything else she had wanted that day. In the end, Mom was alright, just embarrassed as heck and Dad and a few of Mom's co-workers got a good laugh over it. Next year though, they had stricter security measures in place.
Used to work at Walmart. Had a lady with a huge Raiders (the football team) logo tattooed on her throat. I'm talking where her neck meets chest, all the way to her chin, and wrapping around underneath her ears. She asked me where something was (don't really remember what), and I just so happened to be stocking it. I kinda shuffled a foot or two and said right here. She looked at me like I was the idiot. Lmao.
A morbidly obese elderly woman around 450lbs plus was on an electric scooter. Well we get a complaint that there is a trail of blood going around to store. This lady had started having a massive bout of diarrhea and just kept driving around. We heard a bang and a display had been taken down by this woman ramming it. There is red shirt everywhere. We never officially learned what happened but apparently she suffered a massive intestinal rupture from well being 450lbs at 70 and diarrhea. She shot herself to death all over the store and died crashing into the display. On one hand it's sad but also sad in another way.
I've (thankfully) never witnessed anything *Walmart*. I think the closest thing to that was when this little boy (had to be about 2 or three) was walking down a main aisle by toys without a parent. I and my mom stood there for about 7 minutes and his family came out an aisle and went "Oh. there you are, come one" And he toddled off towards them. This kid had been missing for at least 10 minutes and they never called his name. And when they found him they were like "Oh ok".
My wife works at a grocery store and she’s told me some stories like this one guy stuffed those starkist tuna packs down his pant got caught pulled them out of pants along with a bunch of hypodermic needles got all over the potatoes had to clean the whole rack
Worked at a sams club as a parking lot attendant (aka Cart guy), worst customers were the food truck guys. They'd fill up the trucks in the lot and leave the packaging tossed about the area. Had customers who would buy oversized electronics and get mad when I couldnt fit them in their car for them, I mean where exactly where you thinking of putting that 50 inch plasma in that honda civic? Or customers who would buy these hundred pound plus generators and had noone to help them unload them at home. Also one time had one of them take one of the flatbed carts for bulk orders and they slammed into a old lady at the entrance of the store, she fell, hit her head and died. I was nowhere nearby and got a very panicked call from the store manager who flat out thought I was responsible.
So sad that the family of the special needs woman would rather dump her and get her into pesky situations than to be bothered helping her with her life.
A drunk texan with a *strong* southern accent to prove it was walking around the children's toys section ranting about some backpacks he's buying and needing help at checkout. This walmart is in Missouri. Toys is nowhere near checkout. This was my first day out on floor training as a cashier. At least this pays more than fast food....
My story would be when I worked at sams club as a cart pusher. We have one of those electrical cart pushers to help with large loads, anyway as the day goes on I find out my morning help called in sick so I’d be out there by myself for my entire shift. Ok so I’d just have to buckle down you would think, then it starts to rain and I mean torrential downpour, so I have managers asking me over the walkie talkie why were out of carts and I basically told them “I’m the only one out here and it’s looking like a hurricane out here” and their reply was basically “so?” Never have I had a job that made me go to and come from so furiously angry than that place. Fuck wal-Mart and it’s affiliated stores
I'm Canadian and the worst I've seen is a clogged toilet with some nasty stuff in there, but I've seen that in many a public bathroom........ Wtf is going on in the states I swear....
Not a worker, but there was this old guy with a giant cart completely full of nerf guns. He was wearing what looked like an employee uniform and putting them back on the shelves, so several people-including me and my dad-asked him all kinds of questions. He just said, “I don’t work here.” We wondered what he was doing, but just walked away and didn’t question it.
Can’t go to Walmart without having to hear the story about how my mom almost lost her religion over oyster crackers at self-checkout I was there It was terrifying
Please start your own comment thread. Or at least find something who actually supports Walmart to argue with. We only go on occasion because of the aforementioned incident because we’re rural and don’t have much of a choice.
At the Walmart near where I live this huge group of forengers would come in ever week and get 10+ carts of candy and pop and over 5ge counter meds and want to price match it. The store was stupid and let them just tell them what the prices the things were in other stores. They just let them tell them fake prices and basically steel things. Because they supposedly didn't speak English to well. (which is a lie). They legit own a store not even a mile down the road. Then would re sell everything for 4 times the price they got it. They got away with it till Walmart stopped price matching. But they did this for years. They would completely run walmart out of certain items so they were forced to go to their shitty store and buy over priced crap
I used to work at Cracker Barrel . I remember when I had only been there a month or so. My manger asked me check the Men's room. So I did. When I walked in one of the bathroom stalls Somebody had left a pile of skid marked stained whity tighties . Nobody wanted to touch them. On another occurance. Actually, not long after the white tighty incident . I went out to clean the front porch and man looked at me, crapped his pants, and tried to run away. The feces ran down his legs and out his shorts. He left a trail of poop down the porch , to the far end of the parking lot .
Was working self-checkout and there was a kid sitting in the cart while her mom scanned all their stuff. The kid stands up and just starts peeing; obviously runs through the cart and onto the floor. Luckily I didn't have to clean it up, but I did get to stand in front of the puddle and direct people around it, trying not to say what the puddle actually was so they wouldn't freak out. Thinking back I don't remember what we did with the cart. Lord I hope somebody cleaned it.
Working at Walmart is hell. You do not get accommodations for a disability until 1 year into working there for example and they refuse all doctors notes unless it comes with legal issues if they do. I left after almost 4 months. I was a Customer Host and worked the front doors. Some highlights include: - Guys trying to steal 3 dollars worth of cereal my first day - Customers constantly getting angry about not having electric riding carts when the store was built 15-20 years ago and wasn't made with those in mind. - Some guy grabbing something off a shelf, walking up to us, and saying I told him he could return it when I walked over to replace the worker on duty. - Police every 3 days. - People abusing the self checkout to steal. - People getting pissy at me because I had to stop and scam them because of the theft from the self checkout, claiming I should do a real job and we should all be on cash registers so nobody would steal. - Someone trying to get a worker fired for not checking a 1 USD bag of chips. - Worker yelling he quits and throwing his badge on the ground after being told he was a racist by the customers for no reason. There is a lot more, like someone got hit by a car in the lot in front of me basically and I had to be the first responder, but there was some fun. I got to dump out a Home City Ice cooler because an Assistant Manager let me after it flooded. I liked hanging with the cart pushers and helping them, did that for at least 20-30 of the hours I was there. Seriously though, never work there.
Actually the swimsuits come in during the winter (late Jan early Feb) and the snowsuits come in during the summer (late July early Aug) it depends on store to store when we start to put it on the shelf. Most of the time it just sits in the back till closer to spring/fall. You tend to get screamed at close to the end of the season because Walmart clearances seasonal stuff in the middle of the season.
My time to shine. Fiance worked frozen. He watched a woman open a carton of dibs ice cream, eat one and put it back on the shelf. When he asked if she was going to pay for that she told him "no, they're disgusting" I worked clothes. They used to just pile returns into carts and dump them at fittingroom for us to sort and restock. I stick my hand in to get stuff out and it comes out bloody. They had accepted a return of woman's pants soaked in menstrual blood. Someone took a dump in the fittingroom stall. We closed it off and called for maintenance because they're the ones that have the ppe etc for biohazardy stuff like this. But our maintenance guy was special needs. So days later it's still sitting there and each time we report it to a manager we get told "*special need maintenance* said he did it already just open the stall" Later joined ap team/greater. I watched two women right over who was getting the ride on scooter next as an ambulance worker was attempting to work with the elderly woman who was sitting on it having some type of heart episode/attack. I watched a woman come in wearing a crop top with an open hoodie, odd choice given it was single digits outside. Little while later she leaves 9 months , 'pregnant' hoodie zipped up. Really committed to it to. Ran out saying she needed to get home because the baby was kicking her so bad. We had to spider wrap the adult toy section because people were stealing them I was in charge of wraps. Go to the section and find a box were they literally chewed off the corner of the box to bypass the wrap so they could get the dildo. They must have been really lonely.
One of the maintenance workers told me and some friends in the break room how there was period blood smeared on a toilet seat and used 3 tampons thrown on the floor by it and another time there was a dried tampon stuck to the ceiling. One time i used the bathroom in the mens and saw shit in the sink and wanted to quit and never return.
The vomit incident, oh no. No, no, no. I used to work for a Walmart, never tf again. That incident would’ve made me scream at the top of my lungs for someone to get cleaning supplies and get over here if I wasn’t close enough to a phone or other employee. Not because I’d want to embarrass the guy but because they didn’t pay me enough and that’s one of those times where if you don’t feel safe dealing with customer’s body fluids you are not legally required to. Unless you’re maintenance because you literally get paid for that. Blood is a different story even for them though.
That thing about the lines in garden center getting long is a real thing. Customers see the shorter lines in the front and automatically think GARDEN CENTER. And there will be that one butthole customer who's going to cause a tie-up/scene/ arguement with anyone they think they can. Try being the only cashier there, and this one guy insists that the price on this strawberry pot is nine cents, while the line is trailing back into the store, a vendor is trying to get a delivery checked in, and your assistant manager is new, doesn't know his job, and you're dying to pee/haven't had a break since opening.
That one about the guy going behind the counter to look at ammo is too true. When I worked sporting goods I had to tell people not to go behind the counter almost nightly. One guy said that that manager allowed it which was bullshit. After arguing with him for a few minutes I said: "Get the fuck out from behind my counter." He did, side eying me while I put out fishing lures. One of two times I dropped an f-bomb there and didn't get in trouble. The other time there were these college guys who always caused a ton of trouble whenever they were there. They would come in after midnight and wander around doing dumb shit. One night I'm working and suddenly a tennis ball flies out of an aisle and hits the automotive case. I stomp over to the isle to see them with an open can of tennis balls and a racket. I yell "Get the fuck out of my store!" They ran off and I never saw them again
I taught my friends who complained about customer service at Walmart's sporting goods counter that going behind the counter usually got someone to show up right quick. Every time they do it, I get a LOL email. Works in electronics, too. And at Target, Meijers, etc. At Dick's, the guy there threatened to beat me. I laughed, and he saved his life by not doing that.
I was shopping at Walmart and I went to the toy department, grabbed about 10 to 15 fake snakes and then I took them over to the women's underwear department and proceeded to hide them in different places. I finished my shopping and went home.
I currently work at Walmart in the parking lot as a cart pusher. Since I’ve been there (3 months) I’ve witnessed 2 shoplifting attempts (one of them tried to get away from the police on a bike, obviously didn’t work) and the other one they tried to get away on mopeds they hid on one side of the parking lot but the shoplifter never made it to the stashed getaway mopeds. Also I saw a man get pulled over and arrested in the parking lot, and a naked cracked out crazy man get out of his car and start screaming and punching the ground before police and fire and an ambulance came. And I do not even work in that bad of an area. So I can only imagine what some of the other Walmart employees see that work in very bad areas.
My stepsister took a job at Walmart. I warned her that she would not last more than three months and that the pay is low and the demands high. I told her that Walmart can pay little and treat people poorly because there are many unfortunates waiting to take said jobs and that welfare and other subsidizes the wages. I went further and told her that she was only hired because she was not welfare eligible, and that Walmart only hired her so as to pad Walmart's wage-welfare stats. She called me an "idiot" and started the job. She was gone after 9 miserable weeks. She still thinks that I'm an idiot, though.
Working at Walmart is such a nightmare! We weren't allowed to use shopping carts that were pushed into the store for cardboard....we were expected to go into the parking lot to get the ones we needed! I had a department head tell me to go do a module,on the computer...a few minutes later the floor supervisor and his best buddy came into the training room and started cussing me and raising all sorts of hell ..because he decided I walked off the floor and didn't say anything to anyone! WTF? I had a store manager have a shit fit because I was wearing navy work pants and not wearing khakis....he told me I needed to shape up and they were trying to be lenient with me,even though they knew I had been living in my car for 4 months.
Had a woman steal hair dye and then go into the women's bathroom to dye her hair. She rinsed with toilet water and ended up staining the whole stall auburn. Another time a co-worker told me she walked into the bathroom to see a woman using the toilet with the stall door wide open. She also was holding a slice of pizza and singing. Another time I found a stolen mango on the shelf. Someone had eaten it like an apple (I found this particularly humorous considering the skin is inedible). And finally, I once walked into the family restroom only to discover that the floor was just about covered in feces. Welcome to Walmart lol
One time I was getting a few groceries, most of the groceries happened to be in cardboard boxes. It was really busy and the self checkout was full and a cashier was available. I walked up and started loading my groceries on the conveyor belt and was putting my groceries back in my cart after being bagged. After all of the unbagged groceries were out of the cart I grabbed the bags as she went. I was watching and noticed she was crushing the tops of the card board boxes... every...single...one... This made me unreasonably pissed. I didn’t say thank you afterward as revenge
Someone had a stapler war in 3/4 of the store Shopping carts were used for drive bys, blood everywhere, Alot of people died, someone even brought a bat, and it was the whole store
Stupid but true about Walmart Corp. WHEN SAM, the original owner of Walmart and Sam's Club, Died. all of his Loyal employees for years Recognizing there was no one to stop his kids from fricking up the company LEFT. Our store lost 40% of the Employees within the first 6 months of the Children owing the Company.
Used to work at Walmart. I have a few stories as I worked at night. Keep in mind I worked there for only 3 months. - One night I went to the bathroom in the back to find there was poop smeared on all of the walls, stalls, mirrors, ect. I closed the door walked to the restroom in the front of the store without another thought. Later figured out who was doing it. It was a middle aged white guy. Who I had talked to before. He was one of those people who always smelled weird. Turns out it was shit that I was smelling. How I caught him was I had diarrhea one day and was going to and from the RR. When I saw him walking out of the RR with a big glowing grin on him. I went into the bathroom and found shit everywhere (which had clearly not been before since I had used the RR not but 30 minutes before). He did it about once a week... -Next one was a drunk middle aged hairy white guy in a white tank top and worn bluejeans. I found passed out in the bedding/comforter aisle with a bottle of wine still clutched in his hand. -Lastly was two white guys in their early twenties hopped up on crack. The guys were riding around on a shopping cart one on the front and one on the back. Flying through the produce section squealing weee. I laughed and asked my manager what we should do to which she replied 'nothing so long as they aren't hurting anything'.
@Jessica Lizarraga there are worse jobs out there. I grumble about working there, just like anyone else, but at the same time I remind myself about the job I quit.
Worked the night shift at Walmart for Two Years, hated every second of it. 1. One of my coworkers looked like an elderly leper on a bad hair day. I don't know what was really wrong with her, only that I couldn't stand to look at her during lunch hour. 2. In the early weeks, the man in charge told us that we were getting a "refer" truck that night. Naturally, being the inexperienced associate that I was, my first question was "What the hell are you talking about?" Turns out "refer" was just short for "Refridgerated" 3. People kept leaving junk in the freezers on the floor. Everything from burnt out cigarettes to the boxes of things they had stolen. There were some TMNT toy boxes in there, and they didn't even take the whole thing. 4. Who takes their kids to Walmart at 4:30 in the friggin morning? Kids should be in bed. 5. Lady comes in with a monkey. It's then explained to me that service animals are allowed and I'm provided with a list. Under what circumstances would you need to bring a horse into Walmart? 6. No time off, not even Thanksgiving. As the holidays approached, you had to pray that God was smiling on you. 7. Homeless people sleeping on the benches in the store. 8. Homeless looking guy collapses on the floor and spills cigarettes everywhere. I'm sure they had to call an ambulance. 9. Gathering shopping carts when it's 50 below in a blizzard. 10. One night while I was working, some moron stole a bunch of electronics and covered his escape by setting the dressing rooms on fire. This is happening during winter, so we're standing out in the cold for over an hour before we're finally told to collect our things and go home. And one of the firemen that came was smoking on the job. That crook set us back over a million dollars. 11. I had my heart broken during this period of my life. Working the night shift at Walmart is not a good place for someone with this emotional turmoil. It took every ounce of willpower I had to keep from going crazy. 12. When I finally quit my job because I got a better one, on my last day, I was too exhausted to run out of the building screaming "I'M FREE!!!" like I would have liked. The only thing that would make me go back there would be if God promised me that he would fix all the horrible and evil things that have happened in the world since I left.
Not a worker but someone set multiple fires down different aisles & different parts of the store. One of which was near a display of fireworks. It didn’t reach the fireworks but it was still wild
Supposedly it's ridiculously easy to steal from Walmart. Can't tell you how many people at my high school had stolen various items and never got caught.
Oh this reminds me. I'm not an employee but I was at Walmart to get my prescription refilled, and to give an idea for the store it was the door, and to the left was the service desk, and to the left of that was the pharmacy, well, I started seeing two security guards and a few employees start to corral around the service desk, mumbling and muttering, like they knew something, then I saw this woman with her hand CLUTCHING the purse over her shoulder, the second her foot left the store she bolted down the lobby (It's a mall walmart) And the biggest guard chased and tackled her down. Turns out everything on her was stolen, the clothes she was wearing, the purse, the items in the purse etc etc
What shocks me the most about these stories is how many different things Walmart sells. How big are these stores?? How can they sell plants, electronics, food, clothes, AND hunting stuff?? That’s like five different stores in Australia!
I had a guy try to steal a broad head arrow by sticking it down his pants. He managed to get to self checkout before he collapsed from shock or fear i assume
23:55 While these cents might sound stupid to complain about many people shopping at Walmart are living below the poverty line so those cents actually count to them. Think about it.
The Secret Shopper in the first story probably thought she'd be less likely to get in trouble since she wasn't an official in-store employee and wasn't wearing a uniform or name badge. So there was no way of identifying her as a Walmart employee. So if the Mother had gotten upset and tried to report her to the Manager, the Secret Shopper could have simply walked out of the store and driven away, and no one would have known a thing. She stepped in and rescued the Employee from the situation.
It was only during the pandemic that I saw something I would never have thought I would see in my entire life. A man who walked through the store wearing women's underwear on his face, blue with pink flowers. The image is forever burned into my mind, and it haunts me every day. He used some kind of string around the crotch to make the... "eye holes"(?) open more.
I was working at express when this guy start going on and on about thirteen (which I’m working at) being his lucky number. I try to brush it off, but when I look up, I see him pointing his camera at me (not only was it REALLY uncomfortable, taking photos of the workers without their consent was not allowed),I pointed it out to a coworker and she went to talk to him (keeping him from going foward). I look up again and see him letting people pass him, trying to ensure he got served at register 13. Finally I couldn’t take his creepy behavior anymore and told my manager keep him away from me. He ended up going to someone else, but he still asked why I didn’t want to serve him. I later found out he said that he wanted a picture of the screen that announced what stall was free when it was saying 13. But I saw that phone pointed directly at me so I don’t believe that at all. (If you want to take anything from this, is that not all Walmart staff are jerks as they didn’t hesitate to help me)
Don't work there but I shop there if I have to. Went in to take a piss and the room smelled heavy like shit. The door to the singular stall was open and, when I looked in it, someone had shit. EVERYWHERE. In the toilet, ON the toilet, the floor, the stall walls. I went to Target.
My old store we had: one attempted unaliveing in our garden center, two attempted murders in our parking lot, two dead bodies (one person in a bathroom, another od-ed on inhalants in their car and wasn't discovered until a week later in the middle of summer), three fires.
My pet peeve us when people add race to a story when it's not necessary....like the one about the BLACK lady with the $2.00 off coupons for soap and the 8 bar pack of soap; does her race add to the story in any way? NO. The story with the idiot guys going around asking Hispanic people where the burritos, tacos, or whatever.....THAT made sense to add that the people were that race! If it adds nothing to the story, race is not important; and also the story about the group of young black people coming into the store and a fight breaking out amongst them. Their race had nothing to do with the story except maybe feed a stereotype of us being disruptive in some people's minds.
Man backed up his truck up to the Walmart entrance so the workers can pack a television and gazebo. Didn't know he could simply just park outside the store on the side of the road next to the entrance. I also saw a man purchase a cart full of dog food. Either he had a lot of dogs, or he just didn't want to return to purchase any for a while
Hahaha, one time my friend was working a shift at Walmart and (as young teens) we decided it would be funny to go down there and terrorize the store during her shift.... We were jumping into sales displays full of yarn, using baseball bats on bouncy balls and just generally being little sh*ts. It was actually pretty funny (we didn't damage anything, and no one told us to stop or noticed). The first story reminds me of a time I was working in a grocery store and this Dad with two little kids walks by and accidentally knocks some empty boxes off my cart. The one kid looks at me and says "Sorry!" Then the younger kid looks at me and yells "F*CK YOU!" His Dad was mortified, and I had to go into the back room after they walked away and laugh my guts out.
@@basillah7650 Perhaps... Although this is Canada and not many people here who have jobs are able to also get welfare since we have medical benefits and stuff. This Supercenter was in a small town with not many jobs to go around, and we kept moving around the store, I truly don't think they noticed lol. Who knows though!
Last shift I had at Walmart a customer ask if we could check the tag in the back of his pants... like we put our fingers in your pants to reveal the tag.... we sent him to the bathroom.
Had this at a supermarket where they once sold toy kitchen equipment for kids. One time, like a kid, had broken open a package for a toy microwave and put in a piece off his bread in. Was found a while later and it not only broken in places but breadcrumbs were everywhere.
I never worked at Walmart but when i was in there this dude had a tv set on his head . He took the heavy screen part out and had it around his head . I dunno what he was doing . Also very heavy lady in pjs with her children . Her pjs were too small and her stuff was hanging out . Lady in flesh colored leggings that were too tight . Eww and why?
current walmart worker- I have had threats made against me because we did not have the crockpot this lady wanted, we only had the display, SO MUCH LITERAL shit on the floor of the bathroom, people threating to fight, a racist trying to pick a fight with an interracial couple and got mad when i had to threaten that i would call the cops, lost children, some woman vomiting all over the bathroom. oh and a lady yelled at me for letting people steal when i could get fired for intervening.
They make me work multiple department. Stocking and zoning items in Home,Toys and stationary. Toys is the worse department. You have to work. The brats think it a playground. They ride scooter and bicycle in the store. Play basketball ball. Toss footballs. Skate on skateboards. Even ride in battery operated cars.
my (now estranged) dad worked at Walmart in 2007 and had beef with a co worker because he questioned my dad's masculinity. So for retaliation, my dad waited until he saw the dude at work and then proceeded to nearly kill the man at the Tire Center. He was obviously fired and then had his social security blacklisted from working at any establishment or company for the next 15 years. Resulting in us relying solely on my mom who worked full time and took care of 4 children. Now the wretched man is living out his days in Afghanistan, high on heroin, and married to a woman only 2 years older than my sister. I also worked at the Sam's Club food court and had an elderly customer throw her Diet Coke at me because the wait for hot dogs were going to be 10 minutes. ALSO unrelated to Walmart but when I worked at Macy's I was working in the Petite/Plus Size section and when I did a fitting room round after the holiday rush, my nose was immediately violated by the stench of ammonia, when I walked into one of the fitting rooms I saw a puddle of period piss on the floor with a Starbucks napkin soaked on top of it. I have plenty of customer service horror stories from: Chick Fil A, Target, Sam's Club, Jamba Juice, and Macy's lmao
Saw a worker at Walmart get arrested after being brought into what I assume was the employee lounge once. Left in handcuffs and everything. No idea what he did. Then there was the time I was shopping with my aunt. We both spot a worker there, and she asks if I wanted her to speak on my behalf (social awkwardness for the win). I told her not to worry about and I'd ask whatever the heck I wanted to ask back then. I ask my question, the employee just stares, and answers my question to my aunt right in front of me with an attitude. Absolutely rude and it pissed me off to high heaven. No idea why I didn't ask to speak to a manager. This was almost a decade ago. The worst one was me possibly seeing an older woman die in Walmart. Just stepped out into the rain outside and immediately dropped. Store employees had to cover her body in a gray shroud until the ambulance arrived. No sirens or anything when they drove off.
I go to Ralph’s weekly and there this old man who there everyday on a scooter provided by the store and he says “I’m here every day to make sure they open on time and close at correct hour because they close early some days.” What a life.
I found a bag of bagels in the DVD racks of a Wal Mart. They were a beautiful shade of blue/green.

I work at Walmart, but nothing really interesting happens. Well, except today when a co-worker found a 2-year-old outdated food product on the shelf. Like, ew.
I once worked for a commissary and had to remove an entire section of expired baking mixes.
During Black Friday, I once saw two elderly women literally fist fighting (blood and all) over 35 cent towels...
I worked for WalMart for over three years in the garden dept. When I was first hired, we were remodeling the store. As I am breaking down cardboard to take to the back, one of the managers runs by at a full sprint. Behind him is a customer waving a baseball bat at the manager. One of the other customers wants to know if I am going to do anything to stop the baseball wielding customer. I said "Nope, Not being paid near enough to interfere. The manager knows where security is". I would have been fired if I had tried to do anything. I was merely a floor associate. A 5' 3" 45 year old female floor associate.
Oh common youre telling me you arent going to sudently spawn a giant anime sword and fight the guy in a beautifull dress?
Ah, my favorite saying when I see stuff happening "I dont get paid enough to deal with that" lmao
I watched a woman push her completely loaded up cart through the self-check out area and through the doors with two WalMart associates chasing after her, and the woman just ignored her as she tried to load up her car. By the time I finished with my check out the woman was crying about a "misunderstanding" as the cops spoke to her. The same week a dude sprinted through the front doors with a case of beer under his arm and the elderly greeted chased after him until he hopped into his buddy's car.
This particular WalMart now has a designated parking area just for the cops with a blue flashing light.
It is a neighborhood market in Garland Tx? Because that sounds like the one near where I live. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was.
They have designated cop parking? That's amazing, it should be standard for all Walmart!

I actively avoid walmart. Always people trolling the parking lots soliciting, shit is crowded as fuck, merchandise always busted out, etc. If the only place to get something is from walmart then I will go without, straight up.
garchomp301 1209 Sound like a snob
I don’t work at Walmart (but I do merchandising and we were in a Walmart) this random guy walks up to me and says “you work here??” I said “no.. I don’t” he said “I was finna cuss you out” I was confused but headed back to work. I hope that guy is okay. What a rebel.
I was a truck unloader, once we found a pallet of Plasma Tv's stacked face up (which you are not supposed to do with Plasma) that was not the bad part, what was, was the approximate 2000lb pallet of Dog food placed directly on top of the Tv's...which were then all placed on the shelf to sell.
I did quite a lot of "customer carry outs" which were almost always stupid people which ranged in stupid from trying to put a 50" TV into a Beetle, to four frat guys buying too many things and trying to figure out which frat bro to leave behind..but worst one was a guy who asked me to bring out his 65" TV to the front, when i did, he pulled up on a motorcycle with a hand full of bungee cords and wanted me to "strap the TV" to it....I'm like "dude, the TV is bigger than you and your motorcycle there's absolutely no way this works"...he then says "Damn, I guess I'll go get my truck"....people of Walmart, if you have larger cars bring them and quit impulse buying.
I have so many, but it's not strictly "Walmart" so much as it is retail in general..the general public are about 60 to 70% retarded, we're talking full adults who struggle to read, navigate, understand signing and basic etiquette, bad parents, over reactions etc...working retail will make you hate Holidays and people in general.
I feel you on the too small a vehicle thing.
I didn't work at Wal-Mart but at my old store, we supplied cookies, donuts, fruits and cases of bottled water for a charity thing associated with a major sporting event and the dipshit picking up, I shit thee not, 12,000 donuts, 50,000 cookies, 4,000 apples and a fucking _pallet_ of water bottles shows up in a goddamn PT Cruiser!
Are you shitting me?!

I've been working in a maximum security correctional facility for the last 12 years and I find the inmates to on average be much easier to deal with than retail customers. My time in retail changed me forever and I've hated people ever since. I don't talk to strangers, despise small talk and avoid everyone unless I know them already.
"they general public..." Yes, it certainly feels that way sometimes. The most idealistic people I know have never worked retail or customer service. I think everyone should do retail work in their youth.
Lady took a knife from housewares and went into the bathroom and attempted suicide. Blood EVERYWHERE. Was wild

@@japanpanda2179 Yes. Women came running out of the bathroom and told us what was happening in there. Called 911 and got help. Co worker held her wounds to keep the blood from gushing out.
You ok?
My third day on the job I was working in seasonal and I was walking down the isle when I heard it. Two old ladies are beating the living daylights out of each other with Winnie the Pooh wrapping paper. It was nuts! Another time,about a week later,I was on an isle in pets and I stepped around the corner,onto the dog bed isle,and some lady is laying on one in the middle of the floor. I couldn't help it and I asked,"Why?" She told me she was trying to see if it was comfortable enough for her dog. (I suggested she bing him in,let him test it and ask.)
I worked at Walmart for 3 months when I was 19 and my managers were actually very nice, I would even venture to say they were parental to me. But this one coworker was always on my case, telling me I wasn't folding the clothes fast enough. I can't really remember what else she said to me, but I often came home crying because of something she said.
singer2be She isn't the boss. So she can't make you do.
A friend works at Walmart loves it better the local Mijers that she worked at for 15 years . And Mijers has a union . I guess it is what you make it.
@@ronaldblackburn2483 Yeah, you always hear about the shit stories, but rarely the good ones.
I hope you learn to stand up for yourself. There are lots of people like that in the world.
There's always someone who thinks she/he is a manager when she/he is not!
Former Meijer employee here (walmart but red instead of blue). There was a guy that came in dressed in a full gorilla costume and started acting like a damn gorilla to the customers and staff. He ended buying 10 bunches of bananas before leaving.
There was also this one time a guy got fired and ran down the soup can aisle arms outstretched and knocked over as much stuff as he could and ran out the door. Wasn't working that day so I didn't have to clean it up.
There was also a woman that looked like a living corpse that lived at the store for 3 days. Was awake for 3 days straight made a mess of the shoes and fashion departments ending paying $1000 dollars for Christmas decor and left.
2 black chicks put $300 dollars worth of groceries in a sterilite container and tried to pay for the container. Off-duty cop was there, they got arrested.
What was your reaction with the gorila guy? I find it funny in the way you describe him but for you it probably was stressfull
I'm friends with sisters, one works at WalMart, the other worked at Meijer. WM sister has far more horror stories, but her store wasn't regularly set on fire like M sister's. M sis was shocked at how many customers insisted on buying their full carts of merch before evacuating, even though the place is full of smoke.
A lady got mad at me because we didn't have a particular dog food in stock. I worked in the garden center. I knew nothing about the pet products and yet I went through the trouble of figuring out if we had any and still got yelled at.
Found moldy popcorn chicken from the warm dinner foods way back behind products in the Lawn and Garden department. Like it was more mold than chicken. Cup of Pink and grey fluffy mold.
I didn't necessarily "work" at Wal-Mart but rather a remodling company that did a full store remodel, found a dude who literally was sitting crisscross on the floor in front of a aisle of charging banks and phone chargers using an exacto knife to cut apart a bunch of boxes. Funny thing was he had his hands stuffed beneath the bottom shelf so the security cams wouldnt see him. I just happened to be placing items on the other side and dropped something under it.
They are quite clever for at least one thing:

I worked in dairy as an overnight stocker. One night looked over my shoulder to see a drunk man pissing in the water fountain. I'll never drink out of a public water fountain again.
I used to work at walmart several years ago.
register-work was a mixed bag at the best of times, but some of the higher-ups were the epitome of asinine at times. First 3 weeks of me being there, one of those people that walk around and seem to do pretty much nothing grabbed a bunch of our department's people and sent us up front. I used to work in electronics, and our registers were different from the ones up front. I was trained to use a register with a screen on it, which had pretty much all of the procedure steps shown to you, and if you made a mistake, you could see where you screwed up and fix it in seconds. Well, the lady tossed me on one that did not have one of those screens. I tried to explain to her that I'd never been trained to use one of those, but she gave me a look of disgust and said I'd be fine and then walked away. I spent 20 minutes trying to ring up a single customer. When the lady I was ringing up asked why
1. I was taking so long and
2. why'd I look nervous when I turned the register on.
I explained that I had been there less than a month and that I had no idea how to use this model of register as this one wasn't used in electronics and had no screen on it. She sighed and looked a little impatient, but thankfully didn't grouch-out at me. Now, the Asian-looking dude behind her had listened in too, and he started laughing his butt off. Eventually the useless-walker-lady came back and asked why I was still ringing up the same customer as before. I once more explained to her what I'd said before, this time with the laughing guy laughing again and the woman glaring at her. I was sent back to electronics and she took over instead.
I used to race the scooters through the toy aisle while I waited for family. Did that until I was like 24. I think the employees were just glad I went and put it back when I was done and didn't make a mess. 😂
Never worked at Walmart. One time I go grocery shopping. An older person walks into the bathroom. An hour later, a manager runs out and says "D*mn it, someone died in the bathroom again"....
I am retired Navy. I did 20 years. I took a job at the Target. I worked on the overnight shift. I got a job on a military base making $14 an hour making ID cards. I told the supervisor that would be my last day. He threatened me that I'd never work at a Target again. Turns out that he was fired for making people work "off the clock".
Everyone is always talking about someone pooping at Walmart. When I worked there never happened once thank heavens, but there were some real weirdos that visited the one that I worked at. I used to stock products and I had this creepy guy and his GF stock me. I told management but they did not take me seriously.They even made us employees park where they did not light the parking lot to make matters worse. Forget that ended up calling cops and had a family member pick me up from work everyday. I quit because my manager screamed me in front of customers. Even customers said he was ridiculous.
That walmart one where the manger was doing discounts for his aunt would get him fired if reported to corp could have gotten him fired and stopped her stealing from the store with her discounts
I was thinking the same thing he should've called corporate.
Indeed, Walmart even has an anonymous reporting line (1-800-265-9381 for reference) to report stuff like this to.
I worked in the shoe department (because walmart doesnt care where they put you), and I had some people put fish sticks in a pair of boots. We didnt know this. Cut to several days later, and I now know. I search for hours for a dead mouse, or something - cant find anything. I start tearing apart the display boxes looking for something... anything. My 'im done' moment came when people started reporting me to management that I need to be reprimanded for not bathing. I take my hygiene very seriously, but on top of that, the smell was nothing like what an unclean human smells like. Customers are idiots. So are people that intentionally put fish sticks in shoes. So are people in general.
Ultimately, they had put some fish sticks in a pair of boots then packed it back up and put it on the shelf. 100% intentionally done. We didnt know exactly what it was, so finding it was that much harder.
Why are people in general bad?
Wait wait..... what about your hygiene? I am a bit confused lol 😆
Tears are running down my face im laughing so hard
I hate Walmart and avoid at all cost. Sometimes you can't help but go because they're the only store in town that might carry a particular item
WALMART NEEDS TO BE STOP! & THE ONLY WAY WE CAN TOP THEM IS EVERYONE STOP SHOPPING THERE! WALMART SUPPORTS HUMAN TRAFFICKING LOOK IT UP! ITS NO JOKE!
I accidentally stole like 68 cents when I worked at a Walmart five years ago. A customer only wanted the paper part of their change and not the coins so I set them aside, forgot to put them in the drawer, and later picked them up without thinking.
idt walmart cares
I worked in photo at the Great Bend store. Young girl, maybe 18 or 19. She told me that she had a roll that she was working on and the manager and police had to be called. I told her that I needed to double check. She then told me it was child porn. I called the manager and the manager and I looked at the pictures to double check. It was a woman giving birth and some of the pictures was as the baby was coming out of her. It was bloody and gross, but they were personal and a memory that the lady wanted to remember. I was told to explain the difference between birth pics and child porn. Jeez!
At my local Walmart a couple months ago, some old lady died after she got backed over in the parking lot by another old lady who didn't even know she did it
The story with the guy who looked like the fake husband from the video about surveillance equipment was my favourite story.
The management was a FUCKING DISGRACE, and I'm being the Messiah for putting it that way. It was a miracle how the store didn't go under with that management. I had a college diploma in accounting with a 2.67 GPA, and I am almost certain that I could've run that store better than the management.
On the cart dude that found half a chicken, I can top it. In maintenance every night we had to go out and round up carts twice on our shifts, and I found a bag full of rotting shrimp/crawdads. They were obviously out there all day, in the florida heat, and probably rotting before they were put there.
I've got that beat!
We had a, presumably, homeless guy walk in and go to the deli fridge by the entrance, where the chill blasted chickens were, opened an eight piece of fried chicken, sat down and ate it all, closed the package back up, put it back and walked out!
Not me- but a close friend worked at a WalMart for a while, his slogan was "We don't get paid enough to care"
Anyways- he set up a HUGE phone display, like hundreds of cards. And his boss made him take it all down because it was THREE PEGS OFF. Not shelves, not aisles, PEGS. He was like three centimeters off. That was when he started looking for a better job.
My Mom worked at Walmart for some thirty years. She always had a story to tell but one that stands out was back during Black Friday sales, there was a queue for people wanting one of the new 50-inch TVs. Now, keep in mind, this was in the days BEFORE plasma and flatscreens, so these TVs were MASSIVE and the boxes they came in just as big. Now, my Mom, God Bless her, was a big woman and she was the overseer of this queue when another large woman basically charged past her to try and, I guess, cut in line for one of the TVs.
Well, the woman went past Mom and she fell backwards, clipboard in one hand, hand radio in the other, right into the empty box of the 50-in TV they had been using for display. Packing peanuts flew everywhere and Mom was on the radio yelling for anyone to get to her area and help out. Luckily my Dad, who was the Assistant Chief of City Police, had brought me with him to see how Mom was doing so he came running over and helped two others pull Mom out of the box.
Turns out the woman who had pushed Mom had tried to cut in another line for something else and had been warned that if she did it again, she would be removed from the building. Needless to say, she left without a TV or anything else she had wanted that day.
In the end, Mom was alright, just embarrassed as heck and Dad and a few of Mom's co-workers got a good laugh over it. Next year though, they had stricter security measures in place.
My local Walmart is sooooo boring! We just have normal shoplifters and other minor stuff!

Used to work at Walmart. Had a lady with a huge Raiders (the football team) logo tattooed on her throat. I'm talking where her neck meets chest, all the way to her chin, and wrapping around underneath her ears. She asked me where something was (don't really remember what), and I just so happened to be stocking it. I kinda shuffled a foot or two and said right here. She looked at me like I was the idiot. Lmao.
A morbidly obese elderly woman around 450lbs plus was on an electric scooter. Well we get a complaint that there is a trail of blood going around to store. This lady had started having a massive bout of diarrhea and just kept driving around. We heard a bang and a display had been taken down by this woman ramming it. There is red shirt everywhere. We never officially learned what happened but apparently she suffered a massive intestinal rupture from well being 450lbs at 70 and diarrhea. She shot herself to death all over the store and died crashing into the display. On one hand it's sad but also sad in another way.
Kinda funny 😂
I've (thankfully) never witnessed anything *Walmart*. I think the closest thing to that was when this little boy (had to be about 2 or three) was walking down a main aisle by toys without a parent. I and my mom stood there for about 7 minutes and his family came out an aisle and went "Oh. there you are, come one" And he toddled off towards them. This kid had been missing for at least 10 minutes and they never called his name. And when they found him they were like "Oh ok".
My wife works at a grocery store and she’s told me some stories like this one guy stuffed those starkist tuna packs down his pant got caught pulled them out of pants along with a bunch of hypodermic needles got all over the potatoes had to clean the whole rack
Worked at a sams club as a parking lot attendant (aka Cart guy), worst customers were the food truck guys. They'd fill up the trucks in the lot and leave the packaging tossed about the area. Had customers who would buy oversized electronics and get mad when I couldnt fit them in their car for them, I mean where exactly where you thinking of putting that 50 inch plasma in that honda civic? Or customers who would buy these hundred pound plus generators and had noone to help them unload them at home. Also one time had one of them take one of the flatbed carts for bulk orders and they slammed into a old lady at the entrance of the store, she fell, hit her head and died. I was nowhere nearby and got a very panicked call from the store manager who flat out thought I was responsible.
So sad that the family of the special needs woman would rather dump her and get her into pesky situations than to be bothered helping her with her life.
A drunk texan with a *strong* southern accent to prove it was walking around the children's toys section ranting about some backpacks he's buying and needing help at checkout.

At least this pays more than fast food....

We have one of those electrical cart pushers to help with large loads, anyway as the day goes on I find out my morning help called in sick so I’d be out there by myself for my entire shift. Ok so I’d just have to buckle down you would think, then it starts to rain and I mean torrential downpour, so I have managers asking me over the walkie talkie why were out of carts and I basically told them “I’m the only one out here and it’s looking like a hurricane out here” and their reply was basically “so?” Never have I had a job that made me go to and come from so furiously angry than that place. Fuck wal-Mart and it’s affiliated stores
Wouldnt that be health endangerment or something?
people can't seriously fall for the money pigeon thing, right? *checks comments* never mind then
gimme gimme
You assume they aren't doing it just because it's fun and quirky.
Gimme gimme! 🕊😂 hey, can't hurt to try!
GIMMIE GIMMIE NOW BIOTCH
I'm Canadian and the worst I've seen is a clogged toilet with some nasty stuff in there, but I've seen that in many a public bathroom........
Wtf is going on in the states I swear....
Not a worker, but there was this old guy with a giant cart completely full of nerf guns. He was wearing what looked like an employee uniform and putting them back on the shelves, so several people-including me and my dad-asked him all kinds of questions. He just said, “I don’t work here.” We wondered what he was doing, but just walked away and didn’t question it.
Can’t go to Walmart without having to hear the story about how my mom almost lost her religion over oyster crackers at self-checkout
I was there
It was terrifying
WALMART NEEDS TO BE STOP! & THE ONLY WAY WE CAN TOP THEM IS EVERYONE STOP SHOPPING THERE! WALMART SUPPORTS HUMAN TRAFFICKING LOOK IT UP! ITS NO JOKE!
Please start your own comment thread. Or at least find something who actually supports Walmart to argue with. We only go on occasion because of the aforementioned incident because we’re rural and don’t have much of a choice.
@@DeadHouseMouse No!
Did you skip your nap or something?
I wish it was harder to believe that there are grown-ass men out there who act like toddlers, but here we are…
At the Walmart near where I live this huge group of forengers would come in ever week and get 10+ carts of candy and pop and over 5ge counter meds and want to price match it. The store was stupid and let them just tell them what the prices the things were in other stores. They just let them tell them fake prices and basically steel things. Because they supposedly didn't speak English to well. (which is a lie). They legit own a store not even a mile down the road. Then would re sell everything for 4 times the price they got it. They got away with it till Walmart stopped price matching. But they did this for years. They would completely run walmart out of certain items so they were forced to go to their shitty store and buy over priced crap
Yeah, gotta hate those forengers. Rengfoers are even worse (and also pretend not to speak English)!
I used to work at Cracker Barrel . I remember when I had only been there a month or so. My manger asked me check the Men's room. So I did. When I walked in one of the bathroom stalls Somebody had left a pile of skid marked stained whity tighties . Nobody wanted to touch them.
On another occurance. Actually, not long after the white tighty incident . I went out to clean the front porch and man looked at me, crapped his pants, and tried to run away. The feces ran down his legs and out his shorts. He left a trail of poop down the porch , to the far end of the parking lot .
Was working self-checkout and there was a kid sitting in the cart while her mom scanned all their stuff. The kid stands up and just starts peeing; obviously runs through the cart and onto the floor. Luckily I didn't have to clean it up, but I did get to stand in front of the puddle and direct people around it, trying not to say what the puddle actually was so they wouldn't freak out. Thinking back I don't remember what we did with the cart. Lord I hope somebody cleaned it.
Working at Walmart is hell. You do not get accommodations for a disability until 1 year into working there for example and they refuse all doctors notes unless it comes with legal issues if they do. I left after almost 4 months. I was a Customer Host and worked the front doors. Some highlights include:
- Guys trying to steal 3 dollars worth of cereal my first day
- Customers constantly getting angry about not having electric riding carts when the store was built 15-20 years ago and wasn't made with those in mind.
- Some guy grabbing something off a shelf, walking up to us, and saying I told him he could return it when I walked over to replace the worker on duty.
- Police every 3 days.
- People abusing the self checkout to steal.
- People getting pissy at me because I had to stop and scam them because of the theft from the self checkout, claiming I should do a real job and we should all be on cash registers so nobody would steal.
- Someone trying to get a worker fired for not checking a 1 USD bag of chips.
- Worker yelling he quits and throwing his badge on the ground after being told he was a racist by the customers for no reason.
There is a lot more, like someone got hit by a car in the lot in front of me basically and I had to be the first responder, but there was some fun. I got to dump out a Home City Ice cooler because an Assistant Manager let me after it flooded. I liked hanging with the cart pushers and helping them, did that for at least 20-30 of the hours I was there. Seriously though, never work there.
Just Neptunia 3 dollars worth of cereal is like one regular sized box and one 50¢ cup where I’m from lol💀
Actually the swimsuits come in during the winter (late Jan early Feb) and the snowsuits come in during the summer (late July early Aug) it depends on store to store when we start to put it on the shelf. Most of the time it just sits in the back till closer to spring/fall. You tend to get screamed at close to the end of the season because Walmart clearances seasonal stuff in the middle of the season.
My time to shine. Fiance worked frozen. He watched a woman open a carton of dibs ice cream, eat one and put it back on the shelf. When he asked if she was going to pay for that she told him "no, they're disgusting"
I worked clothes. They used to just pile returns into carts and dump them at fittingroom for us to sort and restock. I stick my hand in to get stuff out and it comes out bloody. They had accepted a return of woman's pants soaked in menstrual blood. Someone took a dump in the fittingroom stall. We closed it off and called for maintenance because they're the ones that have the ppe etc for biohazardy stuff like this. But our maintenance guy was special needs. So days later it's still sitting there and each time we report it to a manager we get told "*special need maintenance* said he did it already just open the stall"
Later joined ap team/greater. I watched two women right over who was getting the ride on scooter next as an ambulance worker was attempting to work with the elderly woman who was sitting on it having some type of heart episode/attack. I watched a woman come in wearing a crop top with an open hoodie, odd choice given it was single digits outside. Little while later she leaves 9 months , 'pregnant' hoodie zipped up. Really committed to it to. Ran out saying she needed to get home because the baby was kicking her so bad. We had to spider wrap the adult toy section because people were stealing them
I was in charge of wraps. Go to the section and find a box were they literally chewed off the corner of the box to bypass the wrap so they could get the dildo. They must have been really lonely.
One of the maintenance workers told me and some friends in the break room how there was period blood smeared on a toilet seat and used 3 tampons thrown on the floor by it and another time there was a dried tampon stuck to the ceiling. One time i used the bathroom in the mens and saw shit in the sink and wanted to quit and never return.
The vomit incident, oh no. No, no, no. I used to work for a Walmart, never tf again. That incident would’ve made me scream at the top of my lungs for someone to get cleaning supplies and get over here if I wasn’t close enough to a phone or other employee. Not because I’d want to embarrass the guy but because they didn’t pay me enough and that’s one of those times where if you don’t feel safe dealing with customer’s body fluids you are not legally required to. Unless you’re maintenance because you literally get paid for that. Blood is a different story even for them though.
That thing about the lines in garden center getting long is a real thing. Customers see the shorter lines in the front and automatically think GARDEN CENTER. And there will be that one butthole customer who's going to cause a tie-up/scene/ arguement with anyone they think they can. Try being the only cashier there, and this one guy insists that the price on this strawberry pot is nine cents, while the line is trailing back into the store, a vendor is trying to get a delivery checked in, and your assistant manager is new, doesn't know his job, and you're dying to pee/haven't had a break since opening.
That one about the guy going behind the counter to look at ammo is too true. When I worked sporting goods I had to tell people not to go behind the counter almost nightly. One guy said that that manager allowed it which was bullshit. After arguing with him for a few minutes I said: "Get the fuck out from behind my counter." He did, side eying me while I put out fishing lures. One of two times I dropped an f-bomb there and didn't get in trouble.
The other time there were these college guys who always caused a ton of trouble whenever they were there. They would come in after midnight and wander around doing dumb shit. One night I'm working and suddenly a tennis ball flies out of an aisle and hits the automotive case. I stomp over to the isle to see them with an open can of tennis balls and a racket. I yell "Get the fuck out of my store!" They ran off and I never saw them again
I taught my friends who complained about customer service at Walmart's sporting goods counter that going behind the counter usually got someone to show up right quick. Every time they do it, I get a LOL email.
Works in electronics, too. And at Target, Meijers, etc. At Dick's, the guy there threatened to beat me. I laughed, and he saved his life by not doing that.
I was shopping at Walmart and I went to the toy department, grabbed about 10 to 15 fake snakes and then I took them over to the women's underwear department and proceeded to hide them in different places. I finished my shopping and went home.
😆😆😆👍👍👍👍
I currently work at Walmart in the parking lot as a cart pusher. Since I’ve been there (3 months) I’ve witnessed 2 shoplifting attempts (one of them tried to get away from the police on a bike, obviously didn’t work) and the other one they tried to get away on mopeds they hid on one side of the parking lot but the shoplifter never made it to the stashed getaway mopeds. Also I saw a man get pulled over and arrested in the parking lot, and a naked cracked out crazy man get out of his car and start screaming and punching the ground before police and fire and an ambulance came. And I do not even work in that bad of an area. So I can only imagine what some of the other Walmart employees see that work in very bad areas.
My stepsister took a job at Walmart. I warned her that she would not last more than three months and that the pay is low and the demands high. I told her that Walmart can pay little and treat people poorly because there are many unfortunates waiting to take said jobs and that welfare and other subsidizes the wages. I went further and told her that she was only hired because she was not welfare eligible, and that Walmart only hired her so as to pad Walmart's wage-welfare stats. She called me an "idiot" and started the job.
She was gone after 9 miserable weeks.
She still thinks that I'm an idiot, though.
Working at Walmart is such a nightmare! We weren't allowed to use shopping carts that were pushed into the store for cardboard....we were expected to go into the parking lot to get the ones we needed! I had a department head tell me to go do a module,on the computer...a few minutes later the floor supervisor and his best buddy came into the training room and started cussing me and raising all sorts of hell ..because he decided I walked off the floor and didn't say anything to anyone! WTF? I had a store manager have a shit fit because I was wearing navy work pants and not wearing khakis....he told me I needed to shape up and they were trying to be lenient with me,even though they knew I had been living in my car for 4 months.
Had a woman steal hair dye and then go into the women's bathroom to dye her hair. She rinsed with toilet water and ended up staining the whole stall auburn.
Another time a co-worker told me she walked into the bathroom to see a woman using the toilet with the stall door wide open. She also was holding a slice of pizza and singing.
Another time I found a stolen mango on the shelf. Someone had eaten it like an apple (I found this particularly humorous considering the skin is inedible).
And finally, I once walked into the family restroom only to discover that the floor was just about covered in feces.
Welcome to Walmart lol
Bad idea to eat the skin when it has been in a shit-filled place like walmart.
One time I was getting a few groceries, most of the groceries happened to be in cardboard boxes. It was really busy and the self checkout was full and a cashier was available. I walked up and started loading my groceries on the conveyor belt and was putting my groceries back in my cart after being bagged. After all of the unbagged groceries were out of the cart I grabbed the bags as she went. I was watching and noticed she was crushing the tops of the card board boxes... every...single...one... This made me unreasonably pissed. I didn’t say thank you afterward as revenge
"Walmart Workers, What's The Worst Thing You've Seen Happen In Your Store? r/AskReddit)": Longest video ever posted on You Tube.
When I worked at Walmart someone got arrested for stealing spoons lmfaoooo
Someone had a stapler war in 3/4 of the store
Shopping carts were used for drive bys, blood everywhere,
Alot of people died, someone even brought a bat, and it was the whole store
I wonder how many people continue working at Walmart after their court ordered probation is complete 😛
Stupid but true about Walmart Corp. WHEN SAM, the original owner of Walmart and Sam's Club, Died. all of his Loyal employees for years Recognizing there was no one to stop his kids from fricking up the company LEFT. Our store lost 40% of the Employees within the first 6 months of the Children owing the Company.
Used to work at Walmart. I have a few stories as I worked at night. Keep in mind I worked there for only 3 months.
- One night I went to the bathroom in the back to find there was poop smeared on all of the walls, stalls, mirrors, ect. I closed the door walked to the restroom in the front of the store without another thought. Later figured out who was doing it. It was a middle aged white guy. Who I had talked to before. He was one of those people who always smelled weird. Turns out it was shit that I was smelling. How I caught him was I had diarrhea one day and was going to and from the RR. When I saw him walking out of the RR with a big glowing grin on him. I went into the bathroom and found shit everywhere (which had clearly not been before since I had used the RR not but 30 minutes before). He did it about once a week...
-Next one was a drunk middle aged hairy white guy in a white tank top and worn bluejeans. I found passed out in the bedding/comforter aisle with a bottle of wine still clutched in his hand.
-Lastly was two white guys in their early twenties hopped up on crack. The guys were riding around on a shopping cart one on the front and one on the back. Flying through the produce section squealing weee. I laughed and asked my manager what we should do to which she replied 'nothing so long as they aren't hurting anything'.
Everybody "used to work at Walmart" i still work there -.-
Jessica Lizarraga I still work at the store in Canada.
There are worse jobs than being a storm trooper, it may be the evil empire but at least it is stable.
@@tenofprime that's a good point
@Jessica Lizarraga there are worse jobs out there. I grumble about working there, just like anyone else, but at the same time I remind myself about the job I quit.
Do you still work there ?
Worked the night shift at Walmart for Two Years, hated every second of it.
1. One of my coworkers looked like an elderly leper on a bad hair day. I don't know what was really wrong with her, only that I couldn't stand to look at her during lunch hour.
2. In the early weeks, the man in charge told us that we were getting a "refer" truck that night. Naturally, being the inexperienced associate that I was, my first question was "What the hell are you talking about?" Turns out "refer" was just short for "Refridgerated"
3. People kept leaving junk in the freezers on the floor. Everything from burnt out cigarettes to the boxes of things they had stolen. There were some TMNT toy boxes in there, and they didn't even take the whole thing.
4. Who takes their kids to Walmart at 4:30 in the friggin morning? Kids should be in bed.
5. Lady comes in with a monkey. It's then explained to me that service animals are allowed and I'm provided with a list. Under what circumstances would you need to bring a horse into Walmart?
6. No time off, not even Thanksgiving. As the holidays approached, you had to pray that God was smiling on you.
7. Homeless people sleeping on the benches in the store.
8. Homeless looking guy collapses on the floor and spills cigarettes everywhere. I'm sure they had to call an ambulance.
9. Gathering shopping carts when it's 50 below in a blizzard.
10. One night while I was working, some moron stole a bunch of electronics and covered his escape by setting the dressing rooms on fire. This is happening during winter, so we're standing out in the cold for over an hour before we're finally told to collect our things and go home. And one of the firemen that came was smoking on the job. That crook set us back over a million dollars.
11. I had my heart broken during this period of my life. Working the night shift at Walmart is not a good place for someone with this emotional turmoil. It took every ounce of willpower I had to keep from going crazy.
12. When I finally quit my job because I got a better one, on my last day, I was too exhausted to run out of the building screaming "I'M FREE!!!" like I would have liked.
The only thing that would make me go back there would be if God promised me that he would fix all the horrible and evil things that have happened in the world since I left.
Not a worker but someone set multiple fires down different aisles & different parts of the store. One of which was near a display of fireworks. It didn’t reach the fireworks but it was still wild
Supposedly it's ridiculously easy to steal from Walmart. Can't tell you how many people at my high school had stolen various items and never got caught.
Oh this reminds me. I'm not an employee but I was at Walmart to get my prescription refilled, and to give an idea for the store it was the door, and to the left was the service desk, and to the left of that was the pharmacy, well, I started seeing two security guards and a few employees start to corral around the service desk, mumbling and muttering, like they knew something, then I saw this woman with her hand CLUTCHING the purse over her shoulder, the second her foot left the store she bolted down the lobby (It's a mall walmart) And the biggest guard chased and tackled her down. Turns out everything on her was stolen, the clothes she was wearing, the purse, the items in the purse etc etc
What shocks me the most about these stories is how many different things Walmart sells. How big are these stores?? How can they sell plants, electronics, food, clothes, AND hunting stuff?? That’s like five different stores in Australia!
Lol I wonder how many shoplifters ran for Walmart the second they read about the fake and unwatched cameras lol
I had a guy try to steal a broad head arrow by sticking it down his pants. He managed to get to self checkout before he collapsed from shock or fear i assume
so we're just not gonna look into the robot emus thing, huh
23:55
While these cents might sound stupid to complain about many people shopping at Walmart are living below the poverty line so those cents actually count to them. Think about it.
The Secret Shopper in the first story probably thought she'd be less likely to get in trouble since she wasn't an official in-store employee and wasn't wearing a uniform or name badge. So there was no way of identifying her as a Walmart employee. So if the Mother had gotten upset and tried to report her to the Manager, the Secret Shopper could have simply walked out of the store and driven away, and no one would have known a thing. She stepped in and rescued the Employee from the situation.
It was only during the pandemic that I saw something I would never have thought I would see in my entire life. A man who walked through the store wearing women's underwear on his face, blue with pink flowers. The image is forever burned into my mind, and it haunts me every day. He used some kind of string around the crotch to make the... "eye holes"(?) open more.
I was working at express when this guy start going on and on about thirteen (which I’m working at) being his lucky number. I try to brush it off, but when I look up, I see him pointing his camera at me (not only was it REALLY uncomfortable, taking photos of the workers without their consent was not allowed),I pointed it out to a coworker and she went to talk to him (keeping him from going foward). I look up again and see him letting people pass him, trying to ensure he got served at register 13. Finally I couldn’t take his creepy behavior anymore and told my manager keep him away from me. He ended up going to someone else, but he still asked why I didn’t want to serve him.
I later found out he said that he wanted a picture of the screen that announced what stall was free when it was saying 13. But I saw that phone pointed directly at me so I don’t believe that at all.
(If you want to take anything from this, is that not all Walmart staff are jerks as they didn’t hesitate to help me)
Don't work there but I shop there if I have to.
Went in to take a piss and the room smelled heavy like shit.
The door to the singular stall was open and, when I looked in it, someone had shit. EVERYWHERE.
In the toilet, ON the toilet, the floor, the stall walls.
I went to Target.
My old store we had: one attempted unaliveing in our garden center, two attempted murders in our parking lot, two dead bodies (one person in a bathroom, another od-ed on inhalants in their car and wasn't discovered until a week later in the middle of summer), three fires.
dear pigeon: Gimme Gimme
This is why I shop at Kroger. I rarely go to Walmart.
My pet peeve us when people add race to a story when it's not necessary....like the one about the BLACK lady with the $2.00 off coupons for soap and the 8 bar pack of soap; does her race add to the story in any way? NO. The story with the idiot guys going around asking Hispanic people where the burritos, tacos, or whatever.....THAT made sense to add that the people were that race! If it adds nothing to the story, race is not important; and also the story about the group of young black people coming into the store and a fight breaking out amongst them. Their race had nothing to do with the story except maybe feed a stereotype of us being disruptive in some people's minds.
Man backed up his truck up to the Walmart entrance so the workers can pack a television and gazebo. Didn't know he could simply just park outside the store on the side of the road next to the entrance. I also saw a man purchase a cart full of dog food. Either he had a lot of dogs, or he just didn't want to return to purchase any for a while
Hahaha, one time my friend was working a shift at Walmart and (as young teens) we decided it would be funny to go down there and terrorize the store during her shift.... We were jumping into sales displays full of yarn, using baseball bats on bouncy balls and just generally being little sh*ts. It was actually pretty funny (we didn't damage anything, and no one told us to stop or noticed).
The first story reminds me of a time I was working in a grocery store and this Dad with two little kids walks by and accidentally knocks some empty boxes off my cart. The one kid looks at me and says "Sorry!"
Then the younger kid looks at me and yells "F*CK YOU!" His Dad was mortified, and I had to go into the back room after they walked away and laugh my guts out.
They noticed but did not care because walmart pays so little that you get walfare payments if you work there due to low pay.
@@basillah7650 Perhaps... Although this is Canada and not many people here who have jobs are able to also get welfare since we have medical benefits and stuff. This Supercenter was in a small town with not many jobs to go around, and we kept moving around the store, I truly don't think they noticed lol. Who knows though!
Last shift I had at Walmart a customer ask if we could check the tag in the back of his pants... like we put our fingers in your pants to reveal the tag.... we sent him to the bathroom.
Had this at a supermarket where they once sold toy kitchen equipment for kids.
One time, like a kid, had broken open a package for a toy microwave and put in a piece off his bread in. Was found a while later and it not only broken in places but breadcrumbs were everywhere.
“Robot emus”
The hell?! WE NEED MORE DETAILS!!
I’d have the poop from the toilet roll dispenser tested and have that person put on the watch list because they’re criminally insane!!!!!! 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮
I never worked at Walmart but when i was in there this dude had a tv set on his head . He took the heavy screen part out and had it around his head . I dunno what he was doing .
Also very heavy lady in pjs with her children . Her pjs were too small and her stuff was hanging out .
Lady in flesh colored leggings that were too tight . Eww and why?
current walmart worker- I have had threats made against me because we did not have the crockpot this lady wanted, we only had the display, SO MUCH LITERAL shit on the floor of the bathroom, people threating to fight, a racist trying to pick a fight with an interracial couple and got mad when i had to threaten that i would call the cops, lost children, some woman vomiting all over the bathroom. oh and a lady yelled at me for letting people steal when i could get fired for intervening.
They make me work multiple department. Stocking and zoning items in Home,Toys and stationary. Toys is the worse department. You have to work. The brats think it a playground. They ride scooter and bicycle in the store. Play basketball ball. Toss footballs. Skate on skateboards. Even ride in battery operated cars.
my (now estranged) dad worked at Walmart in 2007 and had beef with a co worker because he questioned my dad's masculinity. So for retaliation, my dad waited until he saw the dude at work and then proceeded to nearly kill the man at the Tire Center. He was obviously fired and then had his social security blacklisted from working at any establishment or company for the next 15 years. Resulting in us relying solely on my mom who worked full time and took care of 4 children. Now the wretched man is living out his days in Afghanistan, high on heroin, and married to a woman only 2 years older than my sister.
I also worked at the Sam's Club food court and had an elderly customer throw her Diet Coke at me because the wait for hot dogs were going to be 10 minutes.
ALSO unrelated to Walmart but when I worked at Macy's I was working in the Petite/Plus Size section and when I did a fitting room round after the holiday rush, my nose was immediately violated by the stench of ammonia, when I walked into one of the fitting rooms I saw a puddle of period piss on the floor with a Starbucks napkin soaked on top of it.
I have plenty of customer service horror stories from: Chick Fil A, Target, Sam's Club, Jamba Juice, and Macy's lmao
17:14 holy crap fellow Transformer fan here, and I know this rage well
Saw a worker at Walmart get arrested after being brought into what I assume was the employee lounge once. Left in handcuffs and everything. No idea what he did.
Then there was the time I was shopping with my aunt. We both spot a worker there, and she asks if I wanted her to speak on my behalf (social awkwardness for the win). I told her not to worry about and I'd ask whatever the heck I wanted to ask back then. I ask my question, the employee just stares, and answers my question to my aunt right in front of me with an attitude. Absolutely rude and it pissed me off to high heaven. No idea why I didn't ask to speak to a manager. This was almost a decade ago.
The worst one was me possibly seeing an older woman die in Walmart. Just stepped out into the rain outside and immediately dropped. Store employees had to cover her body in a gray shroud until the ambulance arrived. No sirens or anything when they drove off.
I go to Ralph’s weekly and there this old man who there everyday on a scooter provided by the store and he says “I’m here every day to make sure they open on time and close at correct hour because they close early some days.” What a life.
Gimmie Gimmie. I NEED MY MONEY NOW
