How to get an early retirement: Work at Walmart for 5 years Make a list of everything the company does that even seems a little odd Talk to a lawyer on every single thing Court Profit
Ooh, this is good. Especially since I have absolutely no plans for the immediately or distant future, and I might find it an interesting study in psychosocial behavior for me. If I could actually hold on for 5 years, this could set me up comfortably for the remainder of my days.
Honestly it's insane, i mean they literally took life insurance policies out on employees and called it a dead peasant tax Just go to Costco, the company actually cares about employees, doesn't tolerate people pulling shit in the store and requiring members keeps out a lot of the crazies All these Walmart people represent like the absolute most nasty chunk of America, the south is so embarrassing hahah. & Yet with how voting is set up, small tiny populated states get as much say as the biggest states so lunatic bible thumping whackjobs can push things on the other 75% sane portion of the country hahaha
Do the general public not understand that poop is a biohazard? In my state you have to have a government certification to be allowed to clean up poop because of the chance of spreading disease.
@Jason's Storm or call in a hazmat team we had to call them twice because someone thought it was a good idea to put gallons of chemical on the bottom of the cart
I cleaned a lot of poop. Even violent diarrhea all over the walls,toilet and into 3 other stalls. I was in there for 4 hours. I started taking longer breaks after that.
Friendly reminder: violently shaking an infant is a good way to kill or permanently disable the infant. It's called Shaken Baby Syndrome. The 'mom' who was shaking her baby could very easily get taken to jail for her actions and permanently lose custody of any and all children.
Exactly, the first time I babysat, I was with my friend. The kid was really fussy and was crying for quite a bit. I Googled how to stop him crying and I remember the top of the website in the first result saying *UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO YOU SHAKE THE BABY*. I remember turning to my friend and being like "what kind of idiot would shake a baby lmao". About 45 mins of straight scream crying later at around 2 am I turned to my friend and said "okay, I kinda get why someone would want to shake a baby". We obviously didn't, and we eventually got him down, but my friend still makes fun of me for it time to time
@@ab1j00 while it's obvious inexcusable, I can understand why someone could get irrationally frustrated. A crying baby is one of the most stress inducing sounds I've ever heard. Its like taking a cheese grater to your nerves. I guess its a human evolutionary response but it quite literally almost sent me into a panic attack that first night.
@@sarahamira5732 I agree, you just gotta remember to take some deep breaths and walk away from the baby until you feel more ready to deal with it. No harm in letting a baby cry for a few minutes lol
This isn't just Walmart problems, this is big box retail problems. I have worked at Kroger (and 2 of it's subsidiaries. Ruler Foods and Fry's) and Meijer. People just have no respect for retail employees and what we do.
Honestly, it's a problem faced by any sort of large scale/public venue. You get such a wide assortment of people that it's an inevitability that you're going to get a TON of horror stories. 😐
Lots of this goes on in companies retail, food, etc. I try my best to express .y appreciation. People work hard. People, product, sevices et. Are taken forgranted, disrespected, and more. I know it angers me when people tear stuff up, have no regard for people etc
I worked in the Walmart electronics department. My final straw was when a customer that had been harassing and following all of us in the department tried to assault me while screaming that I was a racist and I was going to fix his cell phone come hell or high water. Needless to say, I ended up in such a bad anxiety attack with such horrible thoughts that my doctor and therapist were like two calls away from locking me in our local mental health ward. I had to take two weeks emergency leave and when I came back to work I tried to keep my doctor happy and my hours the same. My department manager was fantastic and understood how I needed it. But my general manager demanded a doctors note. Three weeks passed and I got a note from the doctor after a check up. She took one look at it and tossed it on a pile of trash papers. The next day she made my department manager tell me that I could either stay as I was and keep my hours, get my modified hours but get no work, or go to third shift. I quit the same day and they had him walk me to my car to take my vest and discount card. Turns out that the man who harassed all of us was never actually banned from the store after he tried to attack me and none of the managers had the balls to try and ban him for the shit he pulled. I have since developed major ptsd from Walmart and scratch myself if I get triggered. I have awful scars on my hands from it. Oh, and after I quit, the store manager began to spread rumors about me that I got his personal cell number and kept calling him, sobbing and begging for my job back. I fucking hate Walmart. TLDR: Walmart doesn’t care about their employees, just about the bottom line, and the managers are all shady af.
So one disgruntled customer tossed your life into this dramatic downward spiral? I’m sorry but if u cut yourself because of a Walmart shopper you’re a pathetic person.
I feel bad for the Sam's club employee because all of their products are sold in bulk. So if someone forgets to put the pork loin back in the freezer, that's a LOT of meat just wasted.
Even goodwill let me report a workplace injury and go home for the day when I dropped a sewing machine on my foot. Though that might have been because they didn’t want to let customers see me working with an obvious limp. Actually, that gives me an idea: if you work on the sales floor of Walmart and you get injured on the job, just don’t get up, even if you’re pretty sure you can. If you feel well enough to speak, then scream bloody murder as loud as you can. If not, just lay silent and still. The managers might not want to report an injury on their watch, but they’ll be even more reluctant to refuse help to an obviously injured worker in front of customers. I’ve never had to use this trick before, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
that one about the old man waiting for his wife after a kiss and giving her his ring made me almost cry. going through a breakup currently and I can only imagine how that poor old lady felt losing her person permanently.
and that one about the new chaser who got bitched out the spot on? I'd have fucked that customer up whether I was a passerby or that cashier. though dont get to hurt people physically or emotionally in my general vicinity and not catch a good asshole-gape.
I was a security guard at Walmart and they told me to stop reporting the thefts unless it was over a certain dollar amount because it was happening so often
I've never seen live lobster in a Walmart, but the stores vary from locale to locale. I have seen live lobster at a different grocery store, though, and in about 2009.
Damn, that old man dying while blood comes out of his mouth, eyes and nose is both disturbing and sad. I feel sorry for his wife. 15:46 I love the mom in this story. She reminds me of my mom. ‘Cause If there’s one thing she hates, it’s me and my sister running around like meth addicts in a grocery store.
44:15 at my local Walmart, those motorized carts have a weight sensor in the seat and won’t move unless there’s enough weight to trigger it, so that might be why it wasn’t moving. Source: when I worked at Walmart, I was not heavy enough to trigger the motor-cart’s weight sensor, so any time I found one that needed to be moved, I had to lift the entire front end of it and manually push it to the front. Those things are heavy!
Worked at Walmart, was in maintenance/ janitorial, I'm kind of a clean freak. I had just finished cleaning the bathroom at the front of the store before clock out, finished clocked out and went home. Next day I come in to be fired for not doing my job.... come to find out, someone had a mental breakdown in the bathroom after I cleaned it and left without a word. I got blamed for the mess.... the logic.... Best day of my life walking out of there... talk about relief 😌
Quitting a job on the spot is such a good feeling. I've done it once. It was the kitchen of a restaurant at a resort (I was a cook) and it was a Friday afternoon. I hated the job and they didn't treat people very well. I was burned out and in pain from the job and literally couldn't stand one more day. I only felt bad for my coworkers.
The one neat thing I saw at Walmart, albeit weird, was a couple that came in with a baby carrier. But inside was not a baby, but a cockatoo. Just chillin, wrapped in a blanket. Didnt make a single noise and just looked at everyone. I came back up front some time later and I saw the cockatoo again, Crest down, chewing on one of his toys.
For those saying they never see anything crazy at their Walmart…move to Florida, and visit any Walmart that’s close to a beach! I live on the Gulf, and I have seen more 70 yo hairy men, wearing speedos, than you’d see on the beach. Also overheard a 300+ pound woman, riding a scooter, w/o a bra on, (I know this bc I look over when she yelled across the meat section, and her boobs are laying in her lap,) “don’t get any hamburger here. I get the steaks!” Other person with her, “which ones?” Scooter lady, “not here! I get filets at the dollar tree!” I’ve also seen a family with a ton of kids, crying and whining, loudly. The one child complained of being tired, and the mom (?) told her to lay down on a couple big rolls of paper towels. Not a 3,4 yo child, but probably around 15, very obese and crushing the bounty paper towels. The commercials claim the paper towels are tougher than others. That day, Bounty lost. I saw a worker start to walk down the aisle, and I saw the biggest emotion of defeat. Their face fell, eyes rolled, and they turned around. I don’t blame them.
I go to walmart almost daily and honest to gosh its nothing like these horror shows in this video. The workers are usually very sweet and positive and customers are just plain nice to them and each other. I must live in some void.
Do you live in a smallish town? I live in Sierra Vista, AZ, about 29 minutes from the Mexico border, an hour from Tucson, and 3 hours from Phoenix. Our Walmart is nice, decently clean, and pretty civil. When I lived in central Florida, the Walmart’s were dirty, always busy and the customers were wild. Most Walmart stories happen at Walmart’s that are near/in a large population.
@@maddielee4217 i live in chandler. i have spent tons of time in sierra vista working and my son lives in herford(spelling may be wrong) and yes that walmart is wonderful. mine is very similar. not as crowded on the weekend, we have more options around here. Sierra vista is not a huge city, but its a well appointed one for its size.. Maybe the base close by. lots of amazing food choices. a wonderful park and people are so sweet it feels like a small friendly town.
I work at a Walmart and I swear my manager is literally one of the nicest people I've met lol. All my coworkers are great too. Never had a terrible experience with any customers either. Must be that Minnesota energy lol
I frequent the one outside of Savannah GA and it’s clean and civil, the only time I saw anything weird was the giant 1 arm guy who smelled like a water logged corpse, but he wasn’t bothering anybody
It’s amazing how many people throw the “I have aids card” like it’s 1: a joke and 2: that they won’t get in serious trouble for purposely giving someone a life long disease
Fun fact about walmart, you can bring any animal inside and the employees aren't allowed to ask you to leave or ask for papers for a support animal. Brought my kitties in when they were kittens, someone complained and we heard the manager tell them they cant do anything lol
I worked at Wal-Mart pretty much right out of college. It was just a job until I could find something in my field of study. I had someone get mad at me when I told them bathing suits were a seasonal item and that she wouldn't find any unless they were on the clearance rack at pretty much any big box store. She was looking for her young daughter and said in the middle of the girls department, "What am I supposed to do?! We are going to Hawaii!" I wanted to say, "Next time, shop earlier." I told her she could go to a sporting goods store (there was a local chain next door). That was her only option unless she ordered online and did expediated shipping. She wasn't happy with my answer. This was actually a tame situation. I only lasted 6 months and will never go back for any reason.
@@ILY1273 actually we can’t care. It’s company policy that only management and loss prevention people can confront people stealing. And most managers don’t care, and my store doesn’t have loss prevention so yeah people just take shit all the time and no one cares. It’s funny to see how obvious some people are about it
I currently work at Walmart, and it's pretty interesting. I'm mostly in the self-checkout. I see people stealing everything all the time. Sometimes they'll ring up a huge order and just leave without paying when my coworkers and I are all helping others. Sometimes they'll pretend to ring up things with their orders and pay for some of it. There's the whole "mis-scan detected" thing, but you might be surprised about how uppity people can get when they think you're even considering accusing them of something that they are absolutely doing. I've had an old dude scream at me and threaten me because I asked him to stop harassing (he was already screaming at and threatening my supervisor and then a teenage girl cashier) my coworkers. I've seen grown dudes almost come to blows over Pokemon cards. I've seen a dude just strut the fuck out of the main entrance with a 65" TV in a cart and get away with it. All these moments lost, like tears in the rain. Time to die.
Something about Walmart just seems to attract the low-level scum of humankind. Not your serial killers and true monsters, just the assholes and drug addict assholes. Maybe it’s the true evil of Walmart corporate drawing them to it like a necromancer attracts lesser undead to their lair.
That manager's aunt who was scamming the price matching system, I'd have called the police and pressed embezzling charges on the manager and fraud charges on her.
Idk if id call it a horror story, but i was fired from walmart as a stocker because I wasnt fast enough to keep up with my coworkers. Yeah, turns out that was because I had appendicitis and didn't know it. I thought I had just been constipated. But good riddance to them anyway because these were the same managers that asked me if i could finish my shift after getting my finger sliced open with a razor box knife. I would have too if I hadn't been bleeding a river all the way back to the closest first aid box, halfway across the store and in the back hall.
When I worked third a guy who has had heart issues before told them he thought he was having a heart attack, they asked if he could at least finish his freight first. He was legit having a heart attack, thankfully he told them to piss off and went to the hospital.
Honestly, the biggest bit of advice I have is to call 911 for any significant injuries straightaway. Don't ask if it's necessary or if you should or if anyone else is or etc, just call first, ask questions while calling because the dispatcher will want details.
The story about the person on third shift at Walmart dreaming about working happened to me when I did a third shift at a factory over the summer… can you imagine the mind numbing boredom of working in a factory and as soon as you get good and sleep you begin dreaming about being at work… talk about feeling like losing your mind… horrible I tell you!!! Just horrible!!!!
Not Walmart, but I worked nights for a logistics company back in the late 70's and early 80's. I still have dreams (nightmares) about working full shifts at that awful place. No heating in Winter and huge doors that had to be opened and closed by hand. Most drivers were too lazy to shut them.
Gamer? Nah that was nowhere near a gamer move, a gamer move is simply repositioning on the couch, what he did was a War Veteran Survival Instinct typa move y'all need out your quarantine if everything is a gamer move smh lol kinda funny tho ngl
@@CNinjaa I call em people of wall marts or wall creatures, they are beyond bat shit crazy, I halfway wouldn't be surprised if the clientele at wall marts being so bat shit crazy is because they are actually a SCP or something...
Guys, I have a weird story that may be a government breach. I don't even know if I should take about this lmao. I was at walmart (I was 14, my nephew was 11) with my nephews step dad. We were browsing for my nephew's mom (My sister) a crock pot (She's my half sister, different dads, so there's a 15 year age gap). A guy in front of us, seemingly maybe 70 or 80, definitely an older man, turned to us and said he needs to spread "The word." He started off by saying he is a retired air force colonel, and they actually have a bunch of uncovered information that the public isn't even told of. He had what seemed a gun holster on his right hip, and opened it, and I assumed me and my nephew, along with the step-dad, were going to die. I remember getting ready to run as he unlatched it, and I turned, and the man brought out a wad of slips of papers, held together by a rubber band. He handed my nephew and I a slip, and we read the names. Forgot the names, and trashed the paper when I got home (we did research the names first.) The man told us that the government has cars that can reach the moon in about 5-10 minutes. It was a project since the 70's and was called the "Bullet." He said space traveled has been a thing since the 40's, and said something about Hitler trying to commit to space travel. He told us that they've discovered aliens, UFO's are things, and that they're not just flying saucers, they can be really anything. We've been contacted by aliens multiple times, and the government has masked their signals. He began to tell us about the fact that the government is going to release some of this information soon. (Strangely enough, the information about Aliens, alien contacts and stuff got released about two or three months later.) Maybe a coincidence? He then asked us if we believed in god. I live in a southern state, and most people are Christian or catholic. We said yes. He said we have special powers that we haven't unlocked yet, and our brain isn't in use, not even close to being summoned close to its' full power. He told us to spread the word, and to research those people when we got home. Searched up the names, and at first it was just a bunch of news about space travel, but as I got further and further, I ran in to government consperacy theories and two out of the six people went missing. I've blocked out alot of details, as it was a disturbing encounter. My nephew and I were sure we were to die there that day. Walmart has always been threatening to my mind.
I work at walmart and I'm the only one in the meat department. Some lady came in and was mad that we didnt have Swiss steak and told me to get her the meat men and I told her there were no meat men just me. And she didnt grasp concept that we were in the middle of pandemic causing shortages on everything which is why we didn't have certain cuts of meat. She started demanding I open one of our packages of meat and cut it for her, which at my walmart is not allowed and I don't have that equipment. When I explained this she told me one of the meat men(who again dont fucking exist) did it for her 2 days before. So I looked at her and said if that's the case then somebody untrained in this area containmented your meat and everything that comes out of the deli because they are the only ones who have equipment to cut the meat. Now if you'd like I can get a manger so you can explain this and we can shut down the deli every thing that runs in it and we'll need the name employee. Or you can go find a manger but the manger for meats is a woman because there are no meat men. She tossed the pork chops back the wall and walked away pissed that I called her on her bullshit.
Tonight is my first shift at Walmart and I started watching this to hopefully get my anxiety down. My store isn't open 24/7 and I'm doing stocking, so I don't think I'll have too many stories like this
@@feraltaco4783 I know right, it seems like it has trouble with the word "time" idk if it's a key to some conspiracy theory, or just faulty programming for the robot reader?
I had the pleasure of having my 1st Karen encounter at Walmart a few wks ago. She came up to hubby & asked why on earth he was LETTING me push the buggy. We were like wtf?? I ended up finding her before we left & yelled down (not really yelled,more like said it loudly) an aisle at her, "u may wanna hold onto your panties for this, but I drive the car most of the time, too! It's not the 1950s anymore,Karen"! Her mouth dropped open & I just walked off lmao 🤣🤣🤣
I have haphephobia which is a phobia of being touched and while working at Wal-Mart all my managers knew all about it and I had to work Black Friday. I was basically forced to be in the middle of literally hundreds of people. I kept being touched non-stop and it caused me to have a panic attack and then the stress of it all triggered a small heart attack. It was horrible. After that night I was in the hospital for about a week. When I go out of the hospital I straight up quit. I was not going to go through that shit again. The managers at my store were complete assh*les and they didn't give a shit about any of their workers.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but you have a phobia of being TOUCHED? :O By anyone or anything in any context, or for any reason?! 💔 That must be so scary. :-(
Listening to this, I feel like I lucked out. I only injured myself once while I was employed at that place, and thankfully when my dept manager noticed I was favoring one arm over the other he gave me simple light-weight tasks that I could do one-handed until I got back to normal. I sprained my wrist really badly while roller-blading. Took a little over a month to go back to normal.
In Washington it is illegal for your manager to require you to clean up biohazards (blood, feces, urine, vomit etc) without proper biohazard training. They can get in a LOT of trouble for that
Honestly if I saw someone trying on stuff outside of the dressing room I would look around closely for a shoplifter. Exhibitionism seems like a great distraction.
_Walmart's Greatest Hits._ Even with a couple repeats, I still hear things I didn't hear the first go. How little do I pay attention? Tell me I'm not the only one. *ETA-* want to go back to the belief that nobody can see my purchases on the self checkout.
I know it might feel weird or whatever, but I really doubt most people care. That being said, I had to buy roach traps the other day (not even sure if I have an infestation but I'm taking no chances) and it made me feel like people think I'm dirty and disgusting for needing them.
I yelled at a walmart employee when I was heavily pregnant in FL in late October about them not having many swimsuits, in the guys defense I was at least able to get a swim bottom and he was very nice about it, and tried to be helpful, this was 7 years ago in Orlando and I still feel embarrassed about how I acted
Friendly reminder it’s illegal to force an employee to clean up a biohazard aka poop and blood if it’s not a part of their job conditions. Either the manager has to clean it or a biohazard cleaning team needs to be called. If you’re ever told to do this, call them out and refuse.
Regularly had people who would pry open our doors to go shopping at the location I worked at. even when the store was closed. One night lady pulled it open to use the bathroom because she declared it "to be legal since she had a bathroom emergency". Bet she would be singing a different tune if someone pulled that at her house. Side note in my store we aren't allowed to lock it if we have employees on site even though we did close from midnight and opened back up at 6am. One guy pulled them open to go in and use the ATM because the ATM said it was open.
Used to work at Walmart ad loss prevention. After about a month the GM threatened to fire me if I didn’t sleep with her. I quit about 4 1/2 years later
Had a lady get mad at me for not believing in Jesus then walked around the store waving arms all over the place blessing the store. Had other lady said my back would be healed if I quit worshiping a evil person had absolutely nothing wrong with my back. Another religious person get mad and had to be removed all because I refused a Bible
As a cashier. I am a bag packing goddess. Seriously. Brits have come through my line and wanted to take me home with them. Not sure why, unless they wanted their own private bag packer, as customers pack their own bags there. In a world where the only bags I had available were those limp t-shirt bags, most of the ones I packed could be pulled off the arms holding the bags open and be set on a flat surface... and would sit squarely, not spilling contents. With a structured reusable bag, I'm even better. Once at Dangerpath, I packed a single paper-double-plastic with milk, eggs, cans, boxes, and bread. Coworker was so tired, they paid and left without thinking about only having one bag. She mentioned it to me next time we worked together, as I'd broken the cardinal rule of bagging eggs: never put them on the bottom. When I asked if any of her eggs were broken, she admitted they were all fine. Told her smugly that's because I knew how to pack a bag. Which I do; had all the weigh-nothing boxes over the eggs, all cans on the milk, and the boxes kept the heavy stuff off the eggs. Also, their bags were the perfect size for the half gallon of milk to lay down, and the eggs to lay on the spine. Bag holds the eggs shut, and when you lift them out, YOU are holding them shut. It was one of my most perfectly packed bags ever. Back to WM. I packed about a dozen bags for one guy. Commented on a dog toy. He returned an hour later to demand a replacement dog toy because I didn't give it to him. I give him a sardonic look, and he threatens to make a scene. I shrug and summoned a manager. Manager listened and agreed he could have another toy, customer walks away. "You know how I pack bags," I reminded the manager. "He'd be missing a lot more than just the dog toy, if he didn't get that toy." Manager nodded wearily and walked off.
Bro don't put eggs at the bottom you definitely don't know how to bag you probably put All the chemicals in one bag n don't double bag man your story sounds like a laughhh
@@cloud67899 (shrugs) Whatever it sounds like to you, it does happen to be true. That 99% of all other cashiers can't match my bagging poweress? Hardly my fault. And is why I prefer to bag my own shopping.
i feel like the walmart i go to is just isolated from other walmarts in the world because honest to god ive never seen anything remotely weird enough in one
As a walmart employee myself, I can say with 100% certainty that this is *NOT* a universal thing. Bad experiences working for walmart are never *because* of working at walmart; it's either terrible management, terrible customers, or corporate deciding they want to implement some stupid policy that doesn't even make sense but you have to do it because corporate says so.
@@cloud67899 What I meant is that working at walmart, *by itself,* does not automatically result in bad experiences; it's always some added factor that does it.
7:23 I have heard that Japan is ahead of the curve in that business. You can buy used ones in stores. They are called "Burusera shops." When I can finally take my dream trip to Tokyo (Especially Akihabara and Harajuku) I want to take photos of burusera shops if I can. They used to even have vending machines, but that was made illegal. Tourists would sometimes ask to see the vending machine and not know that law. 13:20 If you crap in the urinal, that's bad, mmkay.
The panty thing doesn't surprise me and I would have quit on the spot if a manager had told me to process the return. I would have walked the fuck out.
I used to work at Kroger as a cashier shortly after I turned 18. After I got used to the regular check lane, I got them to train me on self check out. A few weeks after I was on my own I had this older man come to self check out because the lines were backed up and there was no one at uscan. He was able to successfully scan all of his items and when it came time to pay he couldn't get it to work right. As I was getting ready to walk over and offer assistance he said rather loudly "Fricking piece of 💩" punched the screen and take his stuff and walked away to a regular checklane. Had to call supervisor over to void the order and told them what happened, luckily he did not break anything.
I go to Walmart for be night. Me and my littles have food poisoning and we need Gatorade etc. No employees anywhere, just the bread guy who has not seen an employee either. I go to the self checkout and it isn’t working. So I look at the Gatorade and Pepto and just leave with it. By morning we are ok so I clean up and go back to the store to pay. I had a picture of all I took. Asked to see the Manager. I explained everything with the crying littles, no cashier, broken self checkout and I was back to pay. He looks puzzled so I explain again. He tells me he has worked for Walmart for over 20 years and NO ONE has ever come back to pay for anything. He thanked me and told me not to worry about it.
The Quartering outed himself as a "Walmartian" in a live stream - He told of a time he was shopping at Walmart and he felt like he really needed to go. But instead of heading straight for the restroom, he decided to go through the shoe section for some reason and left a brown trail. It kinda explains a lot.
Every Walmart has at least one person riding one of those electric chair/scooter things, it may as well be a Walmartian law. Istg I see one every time I go there
Not a Walmart caliber story, but I worked at a department store during the summer after high school, in prom/teen dresses, and many dresses were originally 99.99 dollars, then would get marked down 10% off, 20%, etc until they sold. At least a couple times a week customers would ask how much a 100 dollar dress was if 30% off, and were surprised when I could answer 70 dollars (or whatever). Didn’t mind at all, but I was kind of surprised that many had trouble with basic percents. While new, also once called security on a girl who came back to the department like 5 times in a day, staying 40 minutes at a time, never buying or trying anything on, seemed to be pretending to flip through clothes while looking all around and watching everyone, etc ), only to find out that she was plain clothes store security. We thought it was funny I called security on the security and were work friends from then on.
I worked at a pharmacy when 16. My job was to keep all Dipper and paper like products stocked, Including female products. Now can you imagine how I felt having to answer questions about feminine products, being a male ?
Being from STA (St Augustine) Florida I think I know the Walmart the commenter was talking about and I have seen a few things go down there. For example, man came in looking like if a leprechaun was a stereotypical 1970s pimp and I haven’t seen him since. Every singly piece of clothing he had was fuzzy, brightly colored, or had some strange pattern to it. I’m not sure if I had hallucinated this, but I’ll never forget it.
Worked the CS desk. Coworker accepted the return of a set of square dishes. A while later, I checked it prior to taping it shut. The =pattern= on the dishes was the same as on the box, only the dishes were round. We sold both, but round ones were cheaper. By about $20, iirc.
Worked at a discount department store in the US 1.5 years in the '70s. A lot of similar things happened there, but it wasn't as bad as all this. But it was bad enough, especially working the toy department in December.
I had a meltdown/panic attack over the fact that the Walmart had toilets that were automatic flushing. People gave my dad a look of "I'm so sorry" while he was waiting for my mom and I to come out the bathroom I was only eight and have definitely gotten over my fear of automatic toilets now but I was embarrassed about my behavior when I looked back on it
Didnt work there, but lived in a rough neighborhood with a walmart 5 minutes away (towards the direction of the worse neighborhoods) I was like 10 and right near the front there was caution tape and blood all over the floor, someone had gotten stabbed. We kept walking and there was more blood not in the caution tape, like all over the store. They have about 1 stabbing a month in that walmart alone but this was one where someone actually died. Me and my grandmother drove an extra 15 minutes from then on to a better safer walmart
As an ex-Walmart employed person, the security can not follow you to your car if you steal. Let alone throw you out of it. The most they can do after you get to the parking lot is use the cameras to get your license plate and vehicle description and call the police
In the Country I'm from, we don't have Walmart. The clips/videos I've seen really crack me up and truly shock me at times. I swear if I lived there I would take a chair to the parking lot and just watch the people whilst eating popcorn.😂😂😂
It's not always this eventful. Really, it's not. The only time I get anything like this is when the one guy who I guess has Tourette's Syndrome comes in, and starts loudly saying (but not quite yelling) incomprehensible things due to what seems to be a lack of impulse control. I don't see him there every time I'm in, though. Although you can hear him across 1/4 of the store, I don't think he's trying to bother anybody. He walks to and from the store, instead of driving.
@@101Volts aaahhh and here I thought you all got entertained like this all of the time. I find the videos soooooo amusing and funny. Esp when they dress up all funny.
Creepy husband flirting with 19 year old coworker, got shutdown (even if it was kinda weakly), then later gets caught cheating on his wife with his sister in law really needs a divorce served from his wife. Even if the underage stepdaughter story from him sounded like a lie, don't just discard it due to the stepchild being underage, since he did that to the commenter who is 2 years older than the stepchild. I wouldn't hold it above him that he'd do that type of thing to her (stepdaughter) too. That firing is the first step, I hope other steps followed as well after the firing and the wife quitting. The wife of that guy deserves better, the guy is a scumbag.
Former Meijer gm clerk here. I found raw ground beef abandoned in the bedding aisle, among the fitted sheets... yay Edit: and so much moldy cheese... in all its green glory
Work for the same company and once found an almost-empty bag of frozen raw shrimp in the toy department. The bag had juice in the bottom of it and the juice spilled on the floor when I tried to move it. (Thank frick it didn't spill on the toys.)
I work in retail, in the British version of Target. A kid pissed by the self checkout and the parents just left. Not even offering to clean it up, even if we aren’t allowed to let them. People were walking through the puddle of human urine. One guy tried to push past me to use the piss checkout while I was in the process of mopping it up. Fun times.
I worked at a grocery store in 1994. The store closed at 2330 and the night shift would come in to stock the shelves. At that time I worked a rotation schedule. 0600-1400, go home, come back, work 2300-0600, go home, come back, work 1400-2300, go home, come back, work 0600-1400…I did this everyday for six months until my body finally said it had enough and I got really sick. When I told the manager I either needed to work days or nights, the assistant manager told me I needed to be a man and suck it up. The manager looked at his and asked if he knew the schedule I had been working. Asst manager said he didn’t care because everyone has to put their time in and I needed to quite crying. Manager told the asst manager perhaps he should work my shift before saying anything else. Asst manager said no problem and asked what I was working. Once he saw the schedule, he just looked ay me and said I was insane for working that many hours. Manager said the asst manager was insane for not knowing the schedules of the employees. The asst manager took offense and he would try to mess with my schedule after it was printed for the month. I ended up moving a few months later.
5:32 My mom worked at Dillards way before I was born and when she was getting boxes, one fell on her head and she sorta blacked out for like two minutes and her co-workers was trying to tell her to lay her head down but I guess she was in shock and she kept trying to get up. She would've been rich by now if she just kept her head down.
1:19:30 The opposite happened to me. I was buying a new watch, tag said $30. Scan the tag, rings up as $12. I notify the cashier and basically get a "nothing I can do" response. So I pay $12 and walk out with my new watch. I tried to be honest and they weren't interested. So thanks Walmart, those $18 I saved bought a few laser tag rounds.
I'm not a Walmart employee but I can relate to crappy managment. Specifically from Whataburger. Cut my hours, wouldn't let me go home, and increased my hours when I told them I couldn't work those hours because I was in school. Basically, management sucks.

I cleaned a lot of poop. Even violent diarrhea all over the walls,toilet and into 3 other stalls. I was in there for 4 hours. I started taking longer breaks after that.
Friendly reminder: violently shaking an infant is a good way to kill or permanently disable the infant. It's called Shaken Baby Syndrome. The 'mom' who was shaking her baby could very easily get taken to jail for her actions and permanently lose custody of any and all children.
sad thing is, you don't even need to shake the baby very violently at all for it to cause brain damage.
Exactly, the first time I babysat, I was with my friend. The kid was really fussy and was crying for quite a bit. I Googled how to stop him crying and I remember the top of the website in the first result saying *UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO YOU SHAKE THE BABY*. I remember turning to my friend and being like "what kind of idiot would shake a baby lmao". About 45 mins of straight scream crying later at around 2 am I turned to my friend and said "okay, I kinda get why someone would want to shake a baby". We obviously didn't, and we eventually got him down, but my friend still makes fun of me for it time to time
@@ab1j00 while it's obvious inexcusable, I can understand why someone could get irrationally frustrated. A crying baby is one of the most stress inducing sounds I've ever heard.

This isn't just Walmart problems, this is big box retail problems. I have worked at Kroger (and 2 of it's subsidiaries. Ruler Foods and Fry's) and Meijer. People just have no respect for retail employees and what we do.
Honestly, it's a problem faced by any sort of large scale/public venue. You get such a wide assortment of people that it's an inevitability that you're going to get a TON of horror stories. 😐
Lots of this goes on in companies retail, food, etc. I try my best to express .y appreciation. People work hard. People, product, sevices et. Are taken forgranted, disrespected, and more. I know it angers me when people tear stuff up, have no regard for people etc

I worked in the Walmart electronics department. My final straw was when a customer that had been harassing and following all of us in the department tried to assault me while screaming that I was a racist and I was going to fix his cell phone come hell or high water. Needless to say, I ended up in such a bad anxiety attack with such horrible thoughts that my doctor and therapist were like two calls away from locking me in our local mental health ward. I had to take two weeks emergency leave and when I came back to work I tried to keep my doctor happy and my hours the same. My department manager was fantastic and understood how I needed it. But my general manager demanded a doctors note. Three weeks passed and I got a note from the doctor after a check up. She took one look at it and tossed it on a pile of trash papers. The next day she made my department manager tell me that I could either stay as I was and keep my hours, get my modified hours but get no work, or go to third shift. I quit the same day and they had him walk me to my car to take my vest and discount card. Turns out that the man who harassed all of us was never actually banned from the store after he tried to attack me and none of the managers had the balls to try and ban him for the shit he pulled. I have since developed major ptsd from Walmart and scratch myself if I get triggered. I have awful scars on my hands from it. Oh, and after I quit, the store manager began to spread rumors about me that I got his personal cell number and kept calling him, sobbing and begging for my job back. I fucking hate Walmart.
TLDR: Walmart doesn’t care about their employees, just about the bottom line, and the managers are all shady af.
That's absolutely no exaggeration
That's horrible. I'm so sorry you've had to go through all that...its so wrong...ugh. Just terrible.
Wow...glad you were able to vent.... never let anyone control you....

I feel bad for the Sam's club employee because all of their products are sold in bulk. So if someone forgets to put the pork loin back in the freezer, that's a LOT of meat just wasted.
Even goodwill let me report a workplace injury and go home for the day when I dropped a sewing machine on my foot. Though that might have been because they didn’t want to let customers see me working with an obvious limp.
Actually, that gives me an idea: if you work on the sales floor of Walmart and you get injured on the job, just don’t get up, even if you’re pretty sure you can. If you feel well enough to speak, then scream bloody murder as loud as you can. If not, just lay silent and still. The managers might not want to report an injury on their watch, but they’ll be even more reluctant to refuse help to an obviously injured worker in front of customers. I’ve never had to use this trick before, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.
that one about the old man waiting for his wife after a kiss and giving her his ring made me almost cry. going through a breakup currently and I can only imagine how that poor old lady felt losing her person permanently.

44:15 at my local Walmart, those motorized carts have a weight sensor in the seat and won’t move unless there’s enough weight to trigger it, so that might be why it wasn’t moving.
Source: when I worked at Walmart, I was not heavy enough to trigger the motor-cart’s weight sensor, so any time I found one that needed to be moved, I had to lift the entire front end of it and manually push it to the front. Those things are heavy!
Worked at Walmart, was in maintenance/ janitorial, I'm kind of a clean freak. I had just finished cleaning the bathroom at the front of the store before clock out, finished clocked out and went home. Next day I come in to be fired for not doing my job.... come to find out, someone had a mental breakdown in the bathroom after I cleaned it and left without a word. I got blamed for the mess.... the logic.... Best day of my life walking out of there... talk about relief 😌
Quitting a job on the spot is such a good feeling. I've done it once. It was the kitchen of a restaurant at a resort (I was a cook) and it was a Friday afternoon. I hated the job and they didn't treat people very well. I was burned out and in pain from the job and literally couldn't stand one more day. I only felt bad for my coworkers.
The one neat thing I saw at Walmart, albeit weird, was a couple that came in with a baby carrier. But inside was not a baby, but a cockatoo. Just chillin, wrapped in a blanket. Didnt make a single noise and just looked at everyone. I came back up front some time later and I saw the cockatoo again, Crest down, chewing on one of his toys.

For those saying they never see anything crazy at their Walmart…move to Florida, and visit any Walmart that’s close to a beach! I live on the Gulf, and I have seen more 70 yo hairy men, wearing speedos, than you’d see on the beach. Also overheard a 300+ pound woman, riding a scooter, w/o a bra on, (I know this bc I look over when she yelled across the meat section, and her boobs are laying in her lap,) “don’t get any hamburger here. I get the steaks!” Other person with her, “which ones?” Scooter lady, “not here! I get filets at the dollar tree!” I’ve also seen a family with a ton of kids, crying and whining, loudly. The one child complained of being tired, and the mom (?) told her to lay down on a couple big rolls of paper towels. Not a 3,4 yo child, but probably around 15, very obese and crushing the bounty paper towels. The commercials claim the paper towels are tougher than others. That day, Bounty lost. I saw a worker start to walk down the aisle, and I saw the biggest emotion of defeat. Their face fell, eyes rolled, and they turned around. I don’t blame them.
I worked at Dollar General. And I can believe _every one of these stories._
I go to walmart almost daily and honest to gosh its nothing like these horror shows in this video. The workers are usually very sweet and positive and customers are just plain nice to them and each other. I must live in some void.
Do you live in a smallish town? I live in Sierra Vista, AZ, about 29 minutes from the Mexico border, an hour from Tucson, and 3 hours from Phoenix.
Our Walmart is nice, decently clean, and pretty civil.
When I lived in central Florida, the Walmart’s were dirty, always busy and the customers were wild.

@@maddielee4217 i live in chandler. i have spent tons of time in sierra vista working and my son lives in herford(spelling may be wrong) and yes that walmart is wonderful. mine is very similar. not as crowded on the weekend, we have more options around here.

It’s amazing how many people throw the “I have aids card” like it’s 1: a joke and 2: that they won’t get in serious trouble for purposely giving someone a life long disease
Fun fact about walmart, you can bring any animal inside and the employees aren't allowed to ask you to leave or ask for papers for a support animal. Brought my kitties in when they were kittens, someone complained and we heard the manager tell them they cant do anything lol
Someone bought a puppy in and was getting his food, bed, and stuff. Lol
I worked at Wal-Mart pretty much right out of college. It was just a job until I could find something in my field of study. I had someone get mad at me when I told them bathing suits were a seasonal item and that she wouldn't find any unless they were on the clearance rack at pretty much any big box store. She was looking for her young daughter and said in the middle of the girls department, "What am I supposed to do?! We are going to Hawaii!" I wanted to say, "Next time, shop earlier." I told her she could go to a sporting goods store (there was a local chain next door). That was her only option unless she ordered online and did expediated shipping. She wasn't happy with my answer. This was actually a tame situation. I only lasted 6 months and will never go back for any reason.
This makes me feel better about stealing from Walmart as a teenager.

@@ILY1273 they simply kicked me out of the store. went back a few months later with literally no issues. same store.
@@ILY1273 actually we can’t care. It’s company policy that only management and loss prevention people can confront people stealing. And most managers don’t care, and my store doesn’t have loss prevention so yeah people just take shit all the time and no one cares. It’s funny to see how obvious some people are about it
I currently work at Walmart, and it's pretty interesting. I'm mostly in the self-checkout. I see people stealing everything all the time. Sometimes they'll ring up a huge order and just leave without paying when my coworkers and I are all helping others. Sometimes they'll pretend to ring up things with their orders and pay for some of it. There's the whole "mis-scan detected" thing, but you might be surprised about how uppity people can get when they think you're even considering accusing them of something that they are absolutely doing.
I've had an old dude scream at me and threaten me because I asked him to stop harassing (he was already screaming at and threatening my supervisor and then a teenage girl cashier) my coworkers. I've seen grown dudes almost come to blows over Pokemon cards. I've seen a dude just strut the fuck out of the main entrance with a 65" TV in a cart and get away with it. All these moments lost, like tears in the rain. Time to die.

These stories are so mental that I think I'd prefer living in a car again than work at Walmart.
Idk if id call it a horror story, but i was fired from walmart as a stocker because I wasnt fast enough to keep up with my coworkers. Yeah, turns out that was because I had appendicitis and didn't know it. I thought I had just been constipated. But good riddance to them anyway because these were the same managers that asked me if i could finish my shift after getting my finger sliced open with a razor box knife. I would have too if I hadn't been bleeding a river all the way back to the closest first aid box, halfway across the store and in the back hall.
When I worked third a guy who has had heart issues before told them he thought he was having a heart attack, they asked if he could at least finish his freight first. He was legit having a heart attack, thankfully he told them to piss off and went to the hospital.
Honestly, the biggest bit of advice I have is to call 911 for any significant injuries straightaway.
Don't ask if it's necessary or if you should or if anyone else is or etc, just call first, ask questions while calling because the dispatcher will want details.
OMG the old man who gave his wife back her ring thats so horrifying and tragic!!!
The story about the person on third shift at Walmart dreaming about working happened to me when I did a third shift at a factory over the summer… can you imagine the mind numbing boredom of working in a factory and as soon as you get good and sleep you begin dreaming about being at work… talk about feeling like losing your mind… horrible I tell you!!! Just horrible!!!!
Not Walmart, but I worked nights for a logistics company back in the late 70's and early 80's. I still have dreams (nightmares) about working full shifts at that awful place. No heating in Winter and huge doors that had to be opened and closed by hand. Most drivers were too lazy to shut them.

Guys, I have a weird story that may be a government breach. I don't even know if I should take about this lmao. I was at walmart (I was 14, my nephew was 11) with my nephews step dad. We were browsing for my nephew's mom (My sister) a crock pot (She's my half sister, different dads, so there's a 15 year age gap). A guy in front of us, seemingly maybe 70 or 80, definitely an older man, turned to us and said he needs to spread "The word." He started off by saying he is a retired air force colonel, and they actually have a bunch of uncovered information that the public isn't even told of. He had what seemed a gun holster on his right hip, and opened it, and I assumed me and my nephew, along with the step-dad, were going to die. I remember getting ready to run as he unlatched it, and I turned, and the man brought out a wad of slips of papers, held together by a rubber band. He handed my nephew and I a slip, and we read the names. Forgot the names, and trashed the paper when I got home (we did research the names first.) The man told us that the government has cars that can reach the moon in about 5-10 minutes. It was a project since the 70's and was called the "Bullet." He said space traveled has been a thing since the 40's, and said something about Hitler trying to commit to space travel. He told us that they've discovered aliens, UFO's are things, and that they're not just flying saucers, they can be really anything. We've been contacted by aliens multiple times, and the government has masked their signals. He began to tell us about the fact that the government is going to release some of this information soon. (Strangely enough, the information about Aliens, alien contacts and stuff got released about two or three months later.) Maybe a coincidence? He then asked us if we believed in god. I live in a southern state, and most people are Christian or catholic. We said yes. He said we have special powers that we haven't unlocked yet, and our brain isn't in use, not even close to being summoned close to its' full power. He told us to spread the word, and to research those people when we got home. Searched up the names, and at first it was just a bunch of news about space travel, but as I got further and further, I ran in to government consperacy theories and two out of the six people went missing. I've blocked out alot of details, as it was a disturbing encounter. My nephew and I were sure we were to die there that day. Walmart has always been threatening to my mind.
You forgot to mention the falling penises from the sky, how DickLess.
I work at walmart and I'm the only one in the meat department. Some lady came in and was mad that we didnt have Swiss steak and told me to get her the meat men and I told her there were no meat men just me. And she didnt grasp concept that we were in the middle of pandemic causing shortages on everything which is why we didn't have certain cuts of meat. She started demanding I open one of our packages of meat and cut it for her, which at my walmart is not allowed and I don't have that equipment. When I explained this she told me one of the meat men(who again dont fucking exist) did it for her 2 days before. So I looked at her and said if that's the case then somebody untrained in this area containmented your meat and everything that comes out of the deli because they are the only ones who have equipment to cut the meat. Now if you'd like I can get a manger so you can explain this and we can shut down the deli every thing that runs in it and we'll need the name employee. Or you can go find a manger but the manger for meats is a woman because there are no meat men. She tossed the pork chops back the wall and walked away pissed that I called her on her bullshit.
Oh
I don't know which is worse, that someone shit in the aisle at Walmart or someone wasn't repulsed enough by it and just pushed their cart through it

I have haphephobia which is a phobia of being touched and while working at Wal-Mart all my managers knew all about it and I had to work Black Friday. I was basically forced to be in the middle of literally hundreds of people. I kept being touched non-stop and it caused me to have a panic attack and then the stress of it all triggered a small heart attack. It was horrible. After that night I was in the hospital for about a week. When I go out of the hospital I straight up quit. I was not going to go through that shit again. The managers at my store were complete assh*les and they didn't give a shit about any of their workers.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but you have a phobia of being TOUCHED? :O By anyone or anything in any context, or for any reason?! 💔
That must be so scary. :-(

Listening to this, I feel like I lucked out. I only injured myself once while I was employed at that place, and thankfully when my dept manager noticed I was favoring one arm over the other he gave me simple light-weight tasks that I could do one-handed until I got back to normal. I sprained my wrist really badly while roller-blading. Took a little over a month to go back to normal.

I know it might feel weird or whatever, but I really doubt most people care. That being said, I had to buy roach traps the other day (not even sure if I have an infestation but I'm taking no chances) and it made me feel like people think I'm dirty and disgusting for needing them.
"Walmartians" XD best name ever
I love when a guy says I was loading up the pallets for the night workers and they were still talking some say they are still talking to this day. 🤣🤣🤣
Listening to this while on my Walmart night shift.
So glad I don't have to work around customers...
I yelled at a walmart employee when I was heavily pregnant in FL in late October about them not having many swimsuits, in the guys defense I was at least able to get a swim bottom and he was very nice about it, and tried to be helpful, this was 7 years ago in Orlando and I still feel embarrassed about how I acted
Friendly reminder it’s illegal to force an employee to clean up a biohazard aka poop and blood if it’s not a part of their job conditions. Either the manager has to clean it or a biohazard cleaning team needs to be called. If you’re ever told to do this, call them out and refuse.
Regularly had people who would pry open our doors to go shopping at the location I worked at. even when the store was closed. One night lady pulled it open to use the bathroom because she declared it "to be legal since she had a bathroom emergency". Bet she would be singing a different tune if someone pulled that at her house. Side note in my store we aren't allowed to lock it if we have employees on site even though we did close from midnight and opened back up at 6am. One guy pulled them open to go in and use the ATM because the ATM said it was open.
My mom works at Walmart and had a stroke while working and they wouldn't even let her sit down :/
she could've sued the shit out of them!
Used to work at Walmart ad loss prevention. After about a month the GM threatened to fire me if I didn’t sleep with her. I quit about 4 1/2 years later
I hope you reported them. I believe that falls under quid-pro-quo.
@@456puff . . . Actually I got a promotion out of it lol.
Had a lady get mad at me for not believing in Jesus then walked around the store waving arms all over the place blessing the store. Had other lady said my back would be healed if I quit worshiping a evil person had absolutely nothing wrong with my back. Another religious person get mad and had to be removed all because I refused a Bible
I once saw something similar happening to someone else but it was in a McDonald's in Toledo, OH.
As a cashier.
I am a bag packing goddess. Seriously. Brits have come through my line and wanted to take me home with them. Not sure why, unless they wanted their own private bag packer, as customers pack their own bags there. In a world where the only bags I had available were those limp t-shirt bags, most of the ones I packed could be pulled off the arms holding the bags open and be set on a flat surface... and would sit squarely, not spilling contents. With a structured reusable bag, I'm even better. Once at Dangerpath, I packed a single paper-double-plastic with milk, eggs, cans, boxes, and bread. Coworker was so tired, they paid and left without thinking about only having one bag. She mentioned it to me next time we worked together, as I'd broken the cardinal rule of bagging eggs: never put them on the bottom. When I asked if any of her eggs were broken, she admitted they were all fine. Told her smugly that's because I knew how to pack a bag. Which I do; had all the weigh-nothing boxes over the eggs, all cans on the milk, and the boxes kept the heavy stuff off the eggs. Also, their bags were the perfect size for the half gallon of milk to lay down, and the eggs to lay on the spine. Bag holds the eggs shut, and when you lift them out, YOU are holding them shut. It was one of my most perfectly packed bags ever.
Back to WM. I packed about a dozen bags for one guy. Commented on a dog toy. He returned an hour later to demand a replacement dog toy because I didn't give it to him. I give him a sardonic look, and he threatens to make a scene. I shrug and summoned a manager. Manager listened and agreed he could have another toy, customer walks away.
"You know how I pack bags," I reminded the manager. "He'd be missing a lot more than just the dog toy, if he didn't get that toy." Manager nodded wearily and walked off.
Bro don't put eggs at the bottom you definitely don't know how to bag you probably put All the chemicals in one bag n don't double bag man your story sounds like a laughhh
@@cloud67899
(shrugs) Whatever it sounds like to you, it does happen to be true. That 99% of all other cashiers can't match my bagging poweress? Hardly my fault. And is why I prefer to bag my own shopping.
i feel like the walmart i go to is just isolated from other walmarts in the world because honest to god ive never seen anything remotely weird enough in one
I thought the same thing, my local Walmart was pretty good... Then I started working there... Now I've seen some weird shit here and there.
As a walmart employee myself, I can say with 100% certainty that this is *NOT* a universal thing.
Bad experiences working for walmart are never *because* of working at walmart; it's either terrible management, terrible customers, or corporate deciding they want to implement some stupid policy that doesn't even make sense but you have to do it because corporate says so.
All that involves working for Walmart dude 🥴 please read your paragraph after the 1st one, begins after the ; don't believe me? Read it dude
@@cloud67899 What I meant is that working at walmart, *by itself,* does not automatically result in bad experiences; it's always some added factor that does it.
I sometimes go to Walmart, and I often say that the sequel to Idiocracy and the next episode of 600lb life at the same time.
In my whole life I have managed to never step foot inside Walmart
so you're from eu or above average brain
Nobody cares, DollarStore shopper

As a black woman....that was 100% a black mom at 55:01
7:23 I have heard that Japan is ahead of the curve in that business. You can buy used ones in stores. They are called "Burusera shops." When I can finally take my dream trip to Tokyo (Especially Akihabara and Harajuku) I want to take photos of burusera shops if I can. They used to even have vending machines, but that was made illegal. Tourists would sometimes ask to see the vending machine and not know that law.
13:20 If you crap in the urinal, that's bad, mmkay.
1:24:07 This entire post has me in tears of laughter. Especially part 6.
The panty thing doesn't surprise me and I would have quit on the spot if a manager had told me to process the return. I would have walked the fuck out.
I used to work at Kroger as a cashier shortly after I turned 18. After I got used to the regular check lane, I got them to train me on self check out. A few weeks after I was on my own I had this older man come to self check out because the lines were backed up and there was no one at uscan. He was able to successfully scan all of his items and when it came time to pay he couldn't get it to work right. As I was getting ready to walk over and offer assistance he said rather loudly "Fricking piece of 💩" punched the screen and take his stuff and walked away to a regular checklane. Had to call supervisor over to void the order and told them what happened, luckily he did not break anything.
Bro the girl trying shirts on in the store without going to the booth. Wow, can only imagine how many people got in on it lmao

I go to Walmart for be night. Me and my littles have food poisoning and we need Gatorade etc. No employees anywhere, just the bread guy who has not seen an employee either.
I go to the self checkout and it isn’t working. So I look at the Gatorade and Pepto and just leave with it.
By morning we are ok so I clean up and go back to the store to pay. I had a picture of all I took.
Asked to see the Manager. I explained everything with the crying littles, no cashier, broken self checkout and I was back to pay.
He looks puzzled so I explain again. He tells me he has worked for Walmart for over 20 years and NO ONE has ever come back to pay for anything.
He thanked me and told me not to worry about it.
The Quartering outed himself as a "Walmartian" in a live stream - He told of a time he was shopping at Walmart and he felt like he really needed to go. But instead of heading straight for the restroom, he decided to go through the shoe section for some reason and left a brown trail.
It kinda explains a lot.
Listening to this while I stock shelves at Walmart all night 🤣
Every Walmart has at least one person riding one of those electric chair/scooter things, it may as well be a Walmartian law. Istg I see one every time I go there
Cracked at fort it’s my guy UHUHUHUH
What?
What?
😂😂🗿
let this compilation be a reminder to us all : you NEVER need approval from your workplace to call 911
I live in Finland and the weirdest thing I've seen in a store is a guy wearing a pyjama.
It's wild out here...
That’s almost a daily occurrence here (America). As in, pajama bottoms and shirt.
Not a Walmart caliber story, but I worked at a department store during the summer after high school, in prom/teen dresses, and many dresses were originally 99.99 dollars, then would get marked down 10% off, 20%, etc until they sold. At least a couple times a week customers would ask how much a 100 dollar dress was if 30% off, and were surprised when I could answer 70 dollars (or whatever). Didn’t mind at all, but I was kind of surprised that many had trouble with basic percents. While new, also once called security on a girl who came back to the department like 5 times in a day, staying 40 minutes at a time, never buying or trying anything on, seemed to be pretending to flip through clothes while looking all around and watching everyone, etc ), only to find out that she was plain clothes store security. We thought it was funny I called security on the security and were work friends from then on.
I worked at a pharmacy when 16. My job was to keep all Dipper and paper like products stocked, Including female products. Now can you imagine how I felt having to answer questions about feminine products, being a male ?
Which brand of vampire teabags has the smoothest insertion?
Being from STA (St Augustine) Florida I think I know the Walmart the commenter was talking about and I have seen a few things go down there. For example, man came in looking like if a leprechaun was a stereotypical 1970s pimp and I haven’t seen him since. Every singly piece of clothing he had was fuzzy, brightly colored, or had some strange pattern to it. I’m not sure if I had hallucinated this, but I’ll never forget it.
Worked the CS desk. Coworker accepted the return of a set of square dishes. A while later, I checked it prior to taping it shut. The =pattern= on the dishes was the same as on the box, only the dishes were round. We sold both, but round ones were cheaper. By about $20, iirc.
Worked at a discount department store in the US 1.5 years in the '70s. A lot of similar things happened there, but it wasn't as bad as all this. But it was bad enough, especially working the toy department in December.
I had a meltdown/panic attack over the fact that the Walmart had toilets that were automatic flushing. People gave my dad a look of "I'm so sorry" while he was waiting for my mom and I to come out the bathroom
I was only eight and have definitely gotten over my fear of automatic toilets now but I was embarrassed about my behavior when I looked back on it
Didnt work there, but lived in a rough neighborhood with a walmart 5 minutes away (towards the direction of the worse neighborhoods) I was like 10 and right near the front there was caution tape and blood all over the floor, someone had gotten stabbed. We kept walking and there was more blood not in the caution tape, like all over the store. They have about 1 stabbing a month in that walmart alone but this was one where someone actually died. Me and my grandmother drove an extra 15 minutes from then on to a better safer walmart
As an ex-Walmart employed person, the security can not follow you to your car if you steal. Let alone throw you out of it. The most they can do after you get to the parking lot is use the cameras to get your license plate and vehicle description and call the police
I just love the fact that stories were reused like 3 or 4 times over -.- definitely quality content -.-
In the Country I'm from, we don't have Walmart. The clips/videos I've seen really crack me up and truly shock me at times. I swear if I lived there I would take a chair to the parking lot and just watch the people whilst eating popcorn.😂😂😂
It's not always this eventful. Really, it's not. The only time I get anything like this is when the one guy who I guess has Tourette's Syndrome comes in, and starts loudly saying (but not quite yelling) incomprehensible things due to what seems to be a lack of impulse control. I don't see him there every time I'm in, though.
Although you can hear him across 1/4 of the store, I don't think he's trying to bother anybody. He walks to and from the store, instead of driving.
@@101Volts aaahhh and here I thought you all got entertained like this all of the time. I find the videos soooooo amusing and funny. Esp when they dress up all funny.
58:00...... I nearly threw up in my mouth. Seriously. I started gagging and almost lost it. 🤢
I love when these say stuff like “what are your horror stories”. Then the 1st post will say “not a horror story”
These are my favorite stories.
Creepy husband flirting with 19 year old coworker, got shutdown (even if it was kinda weakly), then later gets caught cheating on his wife with his sister in law really needs a divorce served from his wife. Even if the underage stepdaughter story from him sounded like a lie, don't just discard it due to the stepchild being underage, since he did that to the commenter who is 2 years older than the stepchild. I wouldn't hold it above him that he'd do that type of thing to her (stepdaughter) too.
That firing is the first step, I hope other steps followed as well after the firing and the wife quitting. The wife of that guy deserves better, the guy is a scumbag.

Former Meijer gm clerk here. I found raw ground beef abandoned in the bedding aisle, among the fitted sheets... yay
Edit: and so much moldy cheese... in all its green glory
Work for the same company and once found an almost-empty bag of frozen raw shrimp in the toy department. The bag had juice in the bottom of it and the juice spilled on the floor when I tried to move it. (Thank frick it didn't spill on the toys.)
29:08 thankfully she was civil about it 🤣🤣🤣lmao
I work in retail, in the British version of Target. A kid pissed by the self checkout and the parents just left. Not even offering to clean it up, even if we aren’t allowed to let them. People were walking through the puddle of human urine. One guy tried to push past me to use the piss checkout while I was in the process of mopping it up. Fun times.
U repeat stories in the same video get the feeling u just set Siri to read screen an record
I worked at a grocery store in 1994. The store closed at 2330 and the night shift would come in to stock the shelves. At that time I worked a rotation schedule. 0600-1400, go home, come back, work 2300-0600, go home, come back, work 1400-2300, go home, come back, work 0600-1400…I did this everyday for six months until my body finally said it had enough and I got really sick. When I told the manager I either needed to work days or nights, the assistant manager told me I needed to be a man and suck it up. The manager looked at his and asked if he knew the schedule I had been working. Asst manager said he didn’t care because everyone has to put their time in and I needed to quite crying. Manager told the asst manager perhaps he should work my shift before saying anything else. Asst manager said no problem and asked what I was working. Once he saw the schedule, he just looked ay me and said I was insane for working that many hours. Manager said the asst manager was insane for not knowing the schedules of the employees. The asst manager took offense and he would try to mess with my schedule after it was printed for the month. I ended up moving a few months later.
3:50 That one really is a special kind of awful. I work at Walmart and that would be an endless nightmare.

My mom worked at Dillards way before I was born and when she was getting boxes, one fell on her head and she sorta blacked out for like two minutes and her co-workers was trying to tell her to lay her head down but I guess she was in shock and she kept trying to get up.
She would've been rich by now if she just kept her head down.
1:19:30 The opposite happened to me. I was buying a new watch, tag said $30. Scan the tag, rings up as $12.
I notify the cashier and basically get a "nothing I can do" response. So I pay $12 and walk out with my new watch. I tried to be honest and they weren't interested.
So thanks Walmart, those $18 I saved bought a few laser tag rounds.
1:14:44 clean af bars
Big ol turd it the floor, she continued on to the door
I'm not a Walmart employee but I can relate to crappy managment. Specifically from Whataburger. Cut my hours, wouldn't let me go home, and increased my hours when I told them I couldn't work those hours because I was in school. Basically, management sucks.
Crusty pants: if you are the kind of person to bring in crusty pants for 8 dollars, the manager is just paying for her to go away with minimal fuss
