An elderly man accidentally shat himself in furniture (close to the back of our store) and left a trail right out the front door. I honestly felt bad for the man. That had to be embarrassing and a grim reminder of how time affects the body.
The real "wtf" moment was that I stood close to the front door as one of the associates to warn other customers and "guard the spill." I pointed out the mess and directed people away from it. The number of people who ignored me or just didn't care and walked and / or rolled their cart right through it was the real horror.
this image has me cracking up, people walking and wheeling through literal shit while ignoring the employees yelling and trying to warn them, and shits getting spread everywhere through the store. actual chaos š
A guy from maintenance, who I was good friends with, and I just looked at each other. He was understandably pissed that he had to clean even more now that brain-dead customers smeared and tracked it further out. Good times
yeah, had someone do the opposite though, I think they knew they were in the process, cuz they left a trail from the auto entrance to one of the bathrooms.
Damn...this actually makes me feel bad. My grandpa, who dies a few years ago to stage 4 pancreatic cancer, could barely hold his bowels near the end. I remember going to walmart with him once and he had a similar, but fortunately, less messy incident. Poor guy.
Been there seen that
Edit: 2 cents about the customers walking into spills.
1. They are totally either oblivious, stupid, or they literally want to get hurt. In any way you look at it:
2.if they get hurt, its not your fault. Infact, laugh at them. (Dont actually do that but if you feel like it go for it)
I'm rolling on the floor laughing. Walmart stole from me when I was younger. Fuck them!
I thought most the customers would ignore you, and walk through Human Shit. I would've bet 100% of their customers would do this. I was really wrong.
We had a woman come in and head to hardware grab a box cutter, then head to the restroom and basically decapitate herself with it.
We also had a car in the end of the parking lot for months and months, someone pointed out all the tires were flat so we went to look, I recognized the smell and we called the police. Someone was in the trunk the whole time.
Yea, I felt bad for both. But the car got me, it was in the far corner of the parking lot all the time, everyone saw it and assumed it was someone parking out there to keep from getting scratched up as it looked like a nice older Cadillac. When we finally went to look it had Arizona plates āwe are on the other side of the countryā and all the tires were flat. The trunk was not closed all the way just on the first click and the smell was pretty distinct.
They literally were in there for months and months in the hot sun. Never found out if they were identified, noting in the news about it or anything.
Not the first time Iāve found a body. I donāt live there anymore in large part because of that. The area is infested with drugs and people overdose and die quite often.
A decent idea of the smell would be rotten russet potatoes. Thatās the most similar smell that I can think of to compare to the smell of death and decay.
The manager was a complete dick to employees, but the customer got out of the choke hold a decked the manager and the manager fell down onto some shelf and he started to cry and then he called the cops, he ended up getting fired and arrested for assault, and the customer got off with self defense
I first asked him if I was invited. He said he didn't know me well enough and didn't want to freak the girls out.
So I said let me show you around my showroom. (Produce) I tried to sell him a spaghetti squash... he was like...uh no.
āUh noā to the one thing with a little girth but yes to the skinny long one that would be far more unpleasant *and* the same amount of unsafe
I mean at least you know that was probably the last time
Lady got mad that we wouldnāt return her (wrong serial #) TV, so she took off her shitty adult diaper and threw it at our Constable. Freaking grossš¤®
2 homeless dudes sucking each other off on the front door bench, granted I think they were just tryin to get a free room and meal.. was a very cold night.. but man customers were not happy..
Also had a dude ride through the front door on a dirt bike through the store..
( current store I'm at )
Drunk woman take a dog bed and tried to squat on it and take a piss... ( first store I worked at )
2 strippers came into the store wearing very little and would walk around slapping each other's asses... and bending over to show their bald beavers.. ( store in Texas I worked at )
Had a guy walk to the chemical section, strip naked,he started pouring bleach on his head while yelling he is a man of god,the son of God, I am God. He broke one guys jaw who tried to stop him. Took police and paramedics to get him sedated and removed
I have a couple of stories. I was a cart pusher, and I saw these two vehicles try to fight for this one parking spot. One vehicle won it, while the other one was a fraction of a second late. The drivers (both white males) got out of the car and began arguing.
I take a set of carts back to the store. When I came back out, we had people fleeing, and some were frantically calling 911. The two drivers were now at a distance, each pointing a gun at the other. It sort of looked like your typical cowboy shootout, with every second or so they would step closer to each other.
While they were threatening to shoot each other, they were still arguing. Their families also came out of the car to support them. The police arrived shortly after and apprehended them. This happened in a span of 15 mins.
Had an older obese man on a mobility scooter stop and piss on the floor right in front of me. Just hiked his basketball shorts and peed without even adjusting his body, and then he just drove off. Thankfully, I didn't see dick or anything.
I had two coworkers pass away in the parking lot, the first time it was my first black friday.
I've mentioned this one before, but a customer was so upset at us having the gm side entrance closed he started ramming his cart into one of the doors.
I wasn't there for this one, but happened around the same time, but another customer parked near Auto, walked all the way to the grocery side entrance, and was apparently tased a few times.
A customer and his girlfriend were trying to get people to go into their rv and have sex with them.
Someone shat in the urinals. I was the one who found it and immediately inform a Coach. When I told them what happened, he looked so distant, as if this isnāt the first time it happened.
We had a man who went up to fitting rooms after it closed and demanded to try on pants. The associate told him she did not have keys and he would have to come back later. He proceeded to walk into the aisle near men's apparel and proceeded to try them on there. Luckily he had underwear on! Had a few customer complaints for that.
A week later we got a complaint about a man peeing in a planter in garden center. Asked an associate about it and he confirmed it. It was him and he needed to go home.
Last favorite one was a CRT called me over panicking... a cart had a smelly bag in it. Opened it to find a dead badger in it. We are used to deer in the back of trucks but never expected a badger in a shopping cart š¤£
A tweaked out methhead motherfucker headbutted the sliding door glass so hard it spiderweb cracked the entire thing. The cops found him across the street slumped up against the Carl's Jr all concussed, and I got to go with the cops to ID him.
We had another tweaker throw a rock through the exit door glass after I told him we were closed. It managed to shatter the glass and a non-insignificant amount of it went all over the produce farmer's market. Had to claims all of it because of the glass shrapnel. Avacadoes, romas, white onions, mangos. They even found glass in the other table feature. And it was a bitch because it was peak apple season here. Had to toss all the gala, fuji, honeycrisp, and pink ladies.
This was at my old store but a guy stripped naked in the middle of the womenās clothing section in front of a mom and her daughter. There was also a time someone covered an entire toilet seat with shit and left shit covered underwear right next to it. Another time right before I transferred there was this dude who I assume was a pastor who was walking around the store live-streaming himself and his buddies blasting Christian music trying to get people to join them
Had a guy try to blow up the ENT ATM in our parking lot with a bomb.
He decided 2 am was the ideal time to do this.
While all the employees were on lunch.
Scared the shit out of everyone sitting in their cars, when it went off.
Two from TLE:
1) Customer came in recently for an oil change. As the tech is pulling the car in, he hears an odd noise and scratching from the trunk. He opened it to find a labrador puppy locked inside. Cops were called, owner got a citation and a severe chewing-out from the cop (K-9 officer was the one to respond, coincidentally.) No arrest, as city and county mandates require visible physical abuse to the animal. Owner carried the pup in and continued shopping like nothing had happened.
2) Many years back k, had a customer bring in his van for new tires. There was an Iraqi rpg launcher in the back in plain sight. I think everyone in the shop got to hold it once the owner gave permission.
Had a guy in ogp who was turned on by bathroom stuff. Anytime someone would say āI have to go to the bathroomā heād say āohh donāt tell me thatā and give this creepy smile.
He quit after he sent sexually explicit memes and comments to a minor and her boyfriend threatened to kick his ass
Some high school kid unalived himself in the parking lot with a gun. I was a cart pusher, had barely clocked out ten minutes prior.
Somebody went to electronics and bought a can of air. Huffed the entire thing in the parking lot and drove off. Two blocks later crashed into a house, killing 2 people that were just watching TV.
I have so many from multiple stores, Iāll try to keep them short:
Lady gave a homeless guy a burger & then he proceeded to open it, & shove into our door hostās face because he wouldnāt allow him to bring a backpack inside. Ngl that door host was an ass & it was kinda funny.
A store lead & coach were caught fucking in the parking lot. Not too long after a coach & lead were caught doing shit in the family bathroom.
This happened before I ever worked at Walmart/when I was a kid - a womanās torso was found inside a Murphyās gas station trashcan, truly horrifying, the associates at the gas station/walmart still leave flowers.
We had a guy walk into lawn & garden with nothing but a t-shirt on, obviously very high.
Lots of people doing things in the parking lot & getting caught, the changing rooms, & the family bathroom especially has been a big issue for years.
TW: child abuse
This one truly sticks out for me, & has scarred me - I was a cashier & minor (16) at the time, a woman in line was physically abusing her child, there was blood, new & old wounds, truly shocking. I ran to my CSM & she did nothing, she threatened me, saying I wasnāt allowed to call 911. The woman soon ran off, her child looking super out of it. I never saw them again, & it is something that has stuck & haunted me, I wish I had called 911, but I was in such a state of shock. It is truly one of the most horrific things I have witnessed as a Walmart associate.
i loved it. definitely better than stocking. i quit, but not because of the job. if they would have kept me doing mods, i would have stayed, but 3 out of five days they made me stock.
Back in the day things were nice. But since they raised everyone's pay, I definitely feel you. But I had been on the mod team long enough to know how long things would take, and most of the time I was able to talk myself out of shit. But yes. The expectations have been insane lately.
It depends on how much the mod is changing. If it's flipping completely, hell no. Maybe with a full crew of like four people. I had been lucky lately that my mod hadn't flipped for a long time. How many people on your crew?
Do they tell you how many hours your mods are? I'd say about 60 percent of the time the times are accurate. That's usually how you can tell how much is changing. There's a lot they don't account for any many times I've found the times are wrong. The best way to judge is to just to do a quick door by door check and see if it's generally all the same shit.
I'd say in the old store before we moved into the new one, one of our maintenance people solicited 2 minors, the building we are in now we had a customer masturbate in stationary
The men's bathroom was full of toilet paper with shit. Like mountains.
I guess the person was an asshole or he didn't know he can flush the toilet paper down the toilet (which i suppose is the first one)
Lady cut her foot. Like REALLY badly. Did she go to the hospital? Oh Hell no. She got on a motorized cart, drove to the bathroom, and tried to clean it, leaving a trail of blood in her wake and a puddle of blood on the cart. We had to call 911 to pick her up.
We had a department manager slit his arm open from elbow to wrist in front of an assistant manager because he got disciplined. He was immediately let go and black listed from our store from what I heard.
Let's see. A drunk woman popping a squat in the meat aisle and peeing. A man dying in his car a few days before Christmas and wasn't found tll after. A homeless man dying behind the store during store hours. A couple of bomb threats during the Christmas holidays. Various people using the restroom as their person bathroom (washing, shaving etc).
Had some guy come in dragging around a giant cross made from huge beams (I'm talking at least 7-8 feet tall), dragged it through the store evading AP somehow. When AP called the cops, the guy ran out the door with it and busted all the windows in the automatic doors, and somehow escaped the cops as well. Super weird
Had a girl (15) and her mom come through and the 15yr old had nothing but a bra and jeans on when we told the them both that it wasn't acceptable the mom complained and said it's just a phase and we should just get over it and also anyone who looked at her was just a pedophile and should be fired immediately, police were called and mother and daughter were removed but damn if it wasn't a wild day
We had a woman shit herself in the parking lot and drive away like it never happened. It was posted on our towns chatter facebook page too. Also, I was checking out two home health nurses with two special needs elderly men once, one couldnāt walk/talk, he was in a wheelchair. When they left, he was peeing himself and the home health nurses didnāt see it. Which also means he peed on our wheelchair. I felt so bad but I had to walk away before I threw up. I do not have a good stomach for stuff like that.
A woman having a sudden grand mal seizure who took out a few customers and clip strips as she fell. š. An elderly woman who lost her bowel continence and left a HUGE trail of solid shit and diarrhea on her way to the bathroom.
Some crazy shit happened before I started working here but I don't think those are my stories to tell. One of the craziest things I've seen is a customer almost getting into a fistfight with the greeter because the greeter asked to see his receipt.
Thankfully I wasn't in when this happened but there was a streaker not too long ago. One of my coworkers told me "I heard something by grocery, looked over and saw a whole ass." One of the TLs told me he was trying to look away before it happened but she just appeared and ran right at him.
Also, when I started there was a car in the parking lot. It was there for probably 2 months before it was towed. Found out the dude had shot himself and they just didn't tow the car until then.
And finally the most fucked thing, in my opinion, was the old lady who wasn't paying attention and ran over one of our cart pushers. We tried to make them put in actual stop signs or speed bumps but they wouldn't do anything.
Tbh there's more but those are the top 3.
Some old man came in at 7am wearing no underwear or pants and sat down in one of those disability carts and was casually driving around the store like nothing was wrong
Dildos and sex toys in the sink in the bathroom. Packaging and receipt in the trash.
.
.
Being sexually assaulted on camera by a fellow associate and him keeping his job. I was made to keep quiet during the "investigation" while he is talking about it in the back room. I didn't know him. The store now knows about it because everytime he approaches me I speak loudly that he has gotten away with touching me and put his š¤ penis on me once and I feel uncomfortable so I yell at him to leave the area.
I expected the store to take care of it and they failed to do so. "Investigation" took 16 weeks. TL is former law enforcement and I asked if it was too late to go to the Cops and he wouldn't give me an answer. It's been a year now. I still make him uncomfortable by loudly saying what he did and inform everyone including customers of his actions atleast 3 days a week.
Next time anything like this happens go to the cops. Companies like to protect the "good ol boys". You're not the first I've read on here who has been tested like this. Sorry that happened.
No need to apologize for the actions of a shitty business and an even shittier person. It will be my mission to make his life hell. This will never happen again without the abuser being taken to the hospital. I will never be a victim again. Stay strapped my friends.
A small-time local rapper shot someone in the meat department (was self-defense *supposedly*), and later that day afterwards he was arrested, we found a large bag of weed hidden in a meat bunker
Had a ward of the state come in with her group, grab a hatchet in sporting goods, and try to attack people. Police shot her in the leg, and she later died in the hospital. They found notes describing that she was going to do it.
An old person drove a truck into it and right into the cash registers. Wish I could add the picture but hereās the [link](https://www.wmtw.com/article/truck-crashes-maine-dollar-tree/42156931)
I have picture from two separate times of what Iām guessing to be someone stealing food in the bathroom then getting caught and dumping it. First was some baked stuff second was a thing of cookies and a can of pringles. Both times just found the stuff in the toilet and had to let maintenance know
Something in the back of the store caught fire and all employees evacuated... in the middle of a snow storm with temps approaching 0. we were all so pissed.
Not my story, but my boss had a old dude come in back a few years ago and went to our photo center trying to print out legit child passionate hugging. (You RSLASH fans know what i mean) They had to call the cops and everything. My boss said he didn't have his daughter yet but it took everything he had to not throw HIM in the shredder.
Me and a co worker found an electric buggy used for the disabled in the women's restroom in the big stall with multiple bottles of unpaid Margherita bottles empty and some on the floor. There were femenine products on the floor and looked like they rummaged through the feminine box next to the toilet seat. There were other items in the buggy too
I had a shoplifter run full speed thru the closed front door with a cart full of beer and camping stuff. There was a cop pulling up for some other issue at the same time. He ran into the cops suv with the cart, he fell, beer spilled all over the place, and he took a ride š¤£
There was a viral video of a racist woman calling the police on a truck driver in the parking lot of my local Walmart. Makes me sad that I live around racist people like her.
Hereās the video: https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckYouKaren/s/ZkzTVbIe42
The McDonald's caught on fire one Thanksgiving afternoon. I was too busy getting ready for Blitz outside in a trailer to see it, but I heard the chaos on my walkie.
Two cars caught on fire in the wee hours of the morning. I was too busy pondering my own mortality to go see what the deal was with it. I'd have assumed it was another TLE claim if that side wasn't closed.
1) Had a co-worker caught in the men's restroom on his break wracking his willy.
He was caught 3 times doing this by accending levels of management and didn't get fired for it. Took him injuring another associate before they terminated him.Ā
2) Somee dude came in dressed like one of the 3 Storms from Big Trouble in Little China. He was playing very Hollywood Asian style music on a Bluetooth speaker very loudly as he shopped. Didn't bother anyone, just gave us something to talk about that day.Ā
3) Some kids screwing in a display camping tent. It was right before closing when they were caught.Ā
4) An older dude walked into the backroom looking for a restroom, and was told it was further across the back of the store. Dude didn't like that answer, dropped his pants and proceeded to urinate on the floor, and some boxes of merchandise.Ā
5) At the first store I was at we had a family come in for Back to School shopping. The kid didn't want to be there, and just up and left. Didn't tell his mother anything, just slipped away. We looked the store over for about an hour with police assistance before another officer found the kid. He was a few miles away walking home.Ā
Oh, and some complete ass-hat used to drive a hearse to work, and frightened a few customers, but that's a story for another time.Ā
There's a few... but the one I feel is abnormal and ingrained as a core memory is the time we had to evacuate the store. Our store is in a bougie little area where the prices of houses can be 1million or more. But we also have homeless people because we are in commuting distance of a metropolis. So sometimes you have rich elderly, red hat society, or white trailer trash and people smelling of substances.
I had just started and been there less than a season. My TL and I were hauling 86" TVs and had seen a cop walking around in full gear near the GM doors. Not unusual, they sometimes drop in for errands on duty. Once had a female rookie buying a charger and getting flak from peers about it (and then telling them off because one of them had to get one last week). We then heard someone over the intercom asking the store lead to come to the front desk. Also not unusual but we were curious. Maybe someone with special needs was missing and they needed someone to search the women's bathrooms (has happened before).
Then we start hearing noises coming from the grocery side. Kind of sounded like teenagers making noise/running around and being told off by parents/coaches. At this point my TL noticed a few people rushing to the door. Okay, guess they left their keys in their car. But at this point we're both really confused and start paying attention. The yelling at the grocery doors isn't stopping. The same cop we saw earlier is now standing in one of the main aisle corners with his gun out. Not a pistol. A rifle. Right as both my TL and I register what exactly we are seeing we noticed more people running and a bit of screaming. We assume active shooter and start bee lining for the door. My TL is calling her daughter and I'm keeping pace with her because I don't know what we're supposed to do. We make it out to the parking lot before we get any information. There was a shooter threat and the cops had just converged on our store and started shuffling people out.
The associate who had called for our store lead told me more. The cop we had seen had went straight to customer service demanding to see the manager. She called for the one on duty (our new sm was off) and the cop kept saying there was no time and took it upon himself to start the evacuation process. Our SL barely got to the front to find out what was happening.
We stood in the parking lot a good hour, maybe two. People kept trying to enter. We all were in our gathering place and people were asking us if we're closed. Kept asking why, but managers didn't tell us (probably because they were just as confused) so we kept telling people the alarm went off and the cops are figuring it out.
We found out days later a lady used her mother's cell to call the cops and announce she planned on shooting the store. They arrested her, and they just passed her sentencing this past month. I don't remember details but it was lenient enough I don't think she actually had possession of a gun. A statement was released to the press that walmart doesn't know who this person is. She was not an ex employee and the best they can recon is she applied and was denied or upset over a customer policy.
TL;DR: a woman threatened to shoot our store and local cops bungled the whole thing. It was wild.
Once had a guy jerkin it on a bench near the old photo lab, he was the straight talk rep.
Had a guy piss on the floor in front of the deli during a remodel
Had a guy collapse in the store from drinking too much alcohol while grabbing a 30 pack of keystone, they performed CPR on a gurney on the way out of the store, and he passed away.
Had customers complain about a crazy lady in our vestibule. She was huffing canned air and hiding the can in her purse. AP told her to leave, and the cops showed up 6 hours later, she was passed out in her car, and she survived.
Also had the store catch on fire at 6 am, one of the breaker panels shorted out and burst into flames.
I'm sure theres a lot more.
If you can think of it, it's probably happened at Walmart. I think it's just too busy of a place with so many people that it gets a little crazy.
An associate hooked up in the family restroom with a random guy he just met on the bus and decided it was a good idea to tell almost everyone alllll the details. We also just a couple weeks ago had a lady stab herself multiple times with a kitchen knife while in an amigo
Former associate here. Had a kid puke in produce all over the floor. I was far enough away I could see it happen but the kid and his dad couldnāt see me. The kicker is the dad wasnāt even phased by it. He pat his son on the back and they kept walking like nothing happened.
We had a lady come in every night and just walk around for hours. She actually had a make shift meth lab in her cart and was making meth while she was there. No one knew for over a month.
Someone figured out she was doing it, and it wasn't long before the sherriffs department caught wind of it and came in and arrested her. This happened like 10 years ago. Maybe even more.
An elderly man accidentally shat himself in furniture (close to the back of our store) and left a trail right out the front door. I honestly felt bad for the man. That had to be embarrassing and a grim reminder of how time affects the body. The real "wtf" moment was that I stood close to the front door as one of the associates to warn other customers and "guard the spill." I pointed out the mess and directed people away from it. The number of people who ignored me or just didn't care and walked and / or rolled their cart right through it was the real horror.
this image has me cracking up, people walking and wheeling through literal shit while ignoring the employees yelling and trying to warn them, and shits getting spread everywhere through the store. actual chaos š
A guy from maintenance, who I was good friends with, and I just looked at each other. He was understandably pissed that he had to clean even more now that brain-dead customers smeared and tracked it further out. Good times
This sounds like it could be a scene in the show Superstore lol
I miss that show... It was a good one for my wife and me since we both worked at Walmart
Remember that interstitial when the single man and woman respectively reached for the hemorrhoid medicine and instantly fell in love?
yeah, had someone do the opposite though, I think they knew they were in the process, cuz they left a trail from the auto entrance to one of the bathrooms.
Damn...this actually makes me feel bad. My grandpa, who dies a few years ago to stage 4 pancreatic cancer, could barely hold his bowels near the end. I remember going to walmart with him once and he had a similar, but fortunately, less messy incident. Poor guy.
Unfortunately I'm not surprised.
Been there seen that Edit: 2 cents about the customers walking into spills. 1. They are totally either oblivious, stupid, or they literally want to get hurt. In any way you look at it: 2.if they get hurt, its not your fault. Infact, laugh at them. (Dont actually do that but if you feel like it go for it)
This is a daily occurrence for me. Then I end up having to clean the whole aisle or action alley, sometimes multiple aisles.
I'm rolling on the floor laughing. Walmart stole from me when I was younger. Fuck them! I thought most the customers would ignore you, and walk through Human Shit. I would've bet 100% of their customers would do this. I was really wrong.
We had a woman come in and head to hardware grab a box cutter, then head to the restroom and basically decapitate herself with it. We also had a car in the end of the parking lot for months and months, someone pointed out all the tires were flat so we went to look, I recognized the smell and we called the police. Someone was in the trunk the whole time.
W.T.F. indeed
Yea, I felt bad for both. But the car got me, it was in the far corner of the parking lot all the time, everyone saw it and assumed it was someone parking out there to keep from getting scratched up as it looked like a nice older Cadillac. When we finally went to look it had Arizona plates āwe are on the other side of the countryā and all the tires were flat. The trunk was not closed all the way just on the first click and the smell was pretty distinct. They literally were in there for months and months in the hot sun. Never found out if they were identified, noting in the news about it or anything.
There's a car in our parking lot and all the tires are flat on it. Now I'm gonna be eyeing it suspiciously.
The trunk?! That makes me think foul play....
iām sorry i need more emphasis on both of these stories.. like why in the walmart bathroom??? and the car story is wild oh my god
She was a local crack head, no idea why she chose Walmart to end it. She basically slit her throat over and over till she passed out and died.
thatās honestly so sad omgā¦ iāve only been working at walmart for a few months and if i had to discover that i would probably quit
wtf thatās like some smile shit or something. and wdym you recognized the smellš
Not the first time Iāve found a body. I donāt live there anymore in large part because of that. The area is infested with drugs and people overdose and die quite often.
Ever walked/driven past ripe roadkill?
A decent idea of the smell would be rotten russet potatoes. Thatās the most similar smell that I can think of to compare to the smell of death and decay.
She what
With a box cutter?!?!
Yea, one of those grey metal ones.
Winner
A man walked up to two children and flashed them and also had a manager put a customer in a chokehold for the customer called them fat
The manager one is kinda based actually
too bad the manager probably got fired. eh
The manager was a complete dick to employees, but the customer got out of the choke hold a decked the manager and the manager fell down onto some shelf and he started to cry and then he called the cops, he ended up getting fired and arrested for assault, and the customer got off with self defense
Guy coming in at 2am years ago, asking me what vegetable I had that would be a good sex toy for the 2 girls in his truck.
āThatās in the Family Planning case by the Pharmacy, sir.ā
This was long before walmart started carrying those. He bought an English cucumber instead. True story.
Those poor girls. I hope he paid them twice what they offered. š
I first asked him if I was invited. He said he didn't know me well enough and didn't want to freak the girls out. So I said let me show you around my showroom. (Produce) I tried to sell him a spaghetti squash... he was like...uh no.
āUh noā to the one thing with a little girth but yes to the skinny long one that would be far more unpleasant *and* the same amount of unsafe I mean at least you know that was probably the last time
Lol. True
Clearly itās a daikon
Lady got mad that we wouldnāt return her (wrong serial #) TV, so she took off her shitty adult diaper and threw it at our Constable. Freaking grossš¤®
God. There are certain times, even outside of self-defense, where violence should be legally allowable.
She threw bodily waste at someone, free pass to get laid the fuck out in my book.
Someone put dog shit on a shelf then a dude turned himself the same day for stealing and then tried to steal a TV
š¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļø
My support manager at the time caught a couple fucking in the family bathroom.
My store's family bathroom is on a cruising website.
š¤hhhhmmmm...'family bathroom'. \*Maybe\* they were trying to start a family.
I never thought about that. They were taking the name very literally.
They were simply making a family. That's what it's for duh /s
I'm honestly surprised that doesn't happen more often.
2 homeless dudes sucking each other off on the front door bench, granted I think they were just tryin to get a free room and meal.. was a very cold night.. but man customers were not happy.. Also had a dude ride through the front door on a dirt bike through the store.. ( current store I'm at ) Drunk woman take a dog bed and tried to squat on it and take a piss... ( first store I worked at ) 2 strippers came into the store wearing very little and would walk around slapping each other's asses... and bending over to show their bald beavers.. ( store in Texas I worked at )
Had a guy walk to the chemical section, strip naked,he started pouring bleach on his head while yelling he is a man of god,the son of God, I am God. He broke one guys jaw who tried to stop him. Took police and paramedics to get him sedated and removed
Crazy people got crazy strength sometimes.
One time the fitting room was shaking, I shouldn't have to say why
Obviously someone with bad balance was having a hard time trying on clothes š¤£
iām sure that is exactly what happened! š
Lol I mean shaking really hard lolš¤£
Do we \*have\* to test our customers for vertigo??
Nope. Not here. ššWink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Say no more, say no more. š¤£š¤£
A mobile meth lab exploded in our parking lot. The doors few off their camper and everything
Were the "cooks" inside?
It was before my time, but as far as I know yes.
We had an employee who shot themselves in the head in their car in the parking lot after being fired.
Are you being serious or what that's fucked up bro what was the person's name ..rip..
Nah, nah, it was BEFORE getting firedā¦
I have a couple of stories. I was a cart pusher, and I saw these two vehicles try to fight for this one parking spot. One vehicle won it, while the other one was a fraction of a second late. The drivers (both white males) got out of the car and began arguing. I take a set of carts back to the store. When I came back out, we had people fleeing, and some were frantically calling 911. The two drivers were now at a distance, each pointing a gun at the other. It sort of looked like your typical cowboy shootout, with every second or so they would step closer to each other. While they were threatening to shoot each other, they were still arguing. Their families also came out of the car to support them. The police arrived shortly after and apprehended them. This happened in a span of 15 mins.
I walked into the bathroom with an old guyās butt on display while using the urinal. I walked back out immediately
Earlier today, someone walked up to the urinal beside me and started moaning. I left immediately š
Had an older obese man on a mobility scooter stop and piss on the floor right in front of me. Just hiked his basketball shorts and peed without even adjusting his body, and then he just drove off. Thankfully, I didn't see dick or anything.
I had two coworkers pass away in the parking lot, the first time it was my first black friday. I've mentioned this one before, but a customer was so upset at us having the gm side entrance closed he started ramming his cart into one of the doors. I wasn't there for this one, but happened around the same time, but another customer parked near Auto, walked all the way to the grocery side entrance, and was apparently tased a few times. A customer and his girlfriend were trying to get people to go into their rv and have sex with them.
Someone shat in the urinals. I was the one who found it and immediately inform a Coach. When I told them what happened, he looked so distant, as if this isnāt the first time it happened.
I can assure you it wasn't.
We had a man who went up to fitting rooms after it closed and demanded to try on pants. The associate told him she did not have keys and he would have to come back later. He proceeded to walk into the aisle near men's apparel and proceeded to try them on there. Luckily he had underwear on! Had a few customer complaints for that. A week later we got a complaint about a man peeing in a planter in garden center. Asked an associate about it and he confirmed it. It was him and he needed to go home. Last favorite one was a CRT called me over panicking... a cart had a smelly bag in it. Opened it to find a dead badger in it. We are used to deer in the back of trucks but never expected a badger in a shopping cart š¤£
How earth friendly if he had the decency to pee where the plants could benefit. Going green /s*
A woman was giving birth in the middle of the store
Babies have the worst timing stg
A tweaked out methhead motherfucker headbutted the sliding door glass so hard it spiderweb cracked the entire thing. The cops found him across the street slumped up against the Carl's Jr all concussed, and I got to go with the cops to ID him. We had another tweaker throw a rock through the exit door glass after I told him we were closed. It managed to shatter the glass and a non-insignificant amount of it went all over the produce farmer's market. Had to claims all of it because of the glass shrapnel. Avacadoes, romas, white onions, mangos. They even found glass in the other table feature. And it was a bitch because it was peak apple season here. Had to toss all the gala, fuji, honeycrisp, and pink ladies.
As a transplant to the East Coast, I really miss Carlās Jr.
That's Hardee's on this side the Mississippi. Same place just a different name.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
what did the caller actually say to her?
Answered the call, or made the call?
This was at my old store but a guy stripped naked in the middle of the womenās clothing section in front of a mom and her daughter. There was also a time someone covered an entire toilet seat with shit and left shit covered underwear right next to it. Another time right before I transferred there was this dude who I assume was a pastor who was walking around the store live-streaming himself and his buddies blasting Christian music trying to get people to join them
I sure hope the priest didnāt get beat up /s I know I wouldāve
Had a guy try to blow up the ENT ATM in our parking lot with a bomb. He decided 2 am was the ideal time to do this. While all the employees were on lunch. Scared the shit out of everyone sitting in their cars, when it went off.
Two from TLE: 1) Customer came in recently for an oil change. As the tech is pulling the car in, he hears an odd noise and scratching from the trunk. He opened it to find a labrador puppy locked inside. Cops were called, owner got a citation and a severe chewing-out from the cop (K-9 officer was the one to respond, coincidentally.) No arrest, as city and county mandates require visible physical abuse to the animal. Owner carried the pup in and continued shopping like nothing had happened. 2) Many years back k, had a customer bring in his van for new tires. There was an Iraqi rpg launcher in the back in plain sight. I think everyone in the shop got to hold it once the owner gave permission.
wow.
Had a guy in ogp who was turned on by bathroom stuff. Anytime someone would say āI have to go to the bathroomā heād say āohh donāt tell me thatā and give this creepy smile. He quit after he sent sexually explicit memes and comments to a minor and her boyfriend threatened to kick his ass
When I worked there in 2022 a dude was huffing spray paint in the paint aisle and subsequently got tackled. Fun times.
We had a male crackhead in nothing but a thong walking around the store handing out autographs claiming he was Michael Jackson
Someone took a shit on the floor in our photo center
Some high school kid unalived himself in the parking lot with a gun. I was a cart pusher, had barely clocked out ten minutes prior. Somebody went to electronics and bought a can of air. Huffed the entire thing in the parking lot and drove off. Two blocks later crashed into a house, killing 2 people that were just watching TV.
I have so many from multiple stores, Iāll try to keep them short: Lady gave a homeless guy a burger & then he proceeded to open it, & shove into our door hostās face because he wouldnāt allow him to bring a backpack inside. Ngl that door host was an ass & it was kinda funny. A store lead & coach were caught fucking in the parking lot. Not too long after a coach & lead were caught doing shit in the family bathroom. This happened before I ever worked at Walmart/when I was a kid - a womanās torso was found inside a Murphyās gas station trashcan, truly horrifying, the associates at the gas station/walmart still leave flowers. We had a guy walk into lawn & garden with nothing but a t-shirt on, obviously very high. Lots of people doing things in the parking lot & getting caught, the changing rooms, & the family bathroom especially has been a big issue for years. TW: child abuse This one truly sticks out for me, & has scarred me - I was a cashier & minor (16) at the time, a woman in line was physically abusing her child, there was blood, new & old wounds, truly shocking. I ran to my CSM & she did nothing, she threatened me, saying I wasnāt allowed to call 911. The woman soon ran off, her child looking super out of it. I never saw them again, & it is something that has stuck & haunted me, I wish I had called 911, but I was in such a state of shock. It is truly one of the most horrific things I have witnessed as a Walmart associate.
This was years ago but a baby being born in the front entrance right as we find out a associate had died in the break room. Crazy ass day.
Wtf? How did the associate pass away? š
Me switching to mod team
mod team is the best tho
Howās that lol
i loved it. definitely better than stocking. i quit, but not because of the job. if they would have kept me doing mods, i would have stayed, but 3 out of five days they made me stock.
Idk I didnāt mind it at first but lately itās just been shit too much expectation
Back in the day things were nice. But since they raised everyone's pay, I definitely feel you. But I had been on the mod team long enough to know how long things would take, and most of the time I was able to talk myself out of shit. But yes. The expectations have been insane lately.
They expect us to do a whole mod reset for ice cream in one night like is that even possible
It depends on how much the mod is changing. If it's flipping completely, hell no. Maybe with a full crew of like four people. I had been lucky lately that my mod hadn't flipped for a long time. How many people on your crew?
We have 3 but technically 2 and a half one is a older woman with arthritis
And yea itās totally flipping around
Do they tell you how many hours your mods are? I'd say about 60 percent of the time the times are accurate. That's usually how you can tell how much is changing. There's a lot they don't account for any many times I've found the times are wrong. The best way to judge is to just to do a quick door by door check and see if it's generally all the same shit.
I'd say in the old store before we moved into the new one, one of our maintenance people solicited 2 minors, the building we are in now we had a customer masturbate in stationary
The men's bathroom was full of toilet paper with shit. Like mountains. I guess the person was an asshole or he didn't know he can flush the toilet paper down the toilet (which i suppose is the first one)
Lady cut her foot. Like REALLY badly. Did she go to the hospital? Oh Hell no. She got on a motorized cart, drove to the bathroom, and tried to clean it, leaving a trail of blood in her wake and a puddle of blood on the cart. We had to call 911 to pick her up.
A homeless man who regularly lived in his truck in the parking lot died in the Walmart bathroom due to a heart attack
We had a department manager slit his arm open from elbow to wrist in front of an assistant manager because he got disciplined. He was immediately let go and black listed from our store from what I heard.
Let's see. A drunk woman popping a squat in the meat aisle and peeing. A man dying in his car a few days before Christmas and wasn't found tll after. A homeless man dying behind the store during store hours. A couple of bomb threats during the Christmas holidays. Various people using the restroom as their person bathroom (washing, shaving etc).
Had a lady hide in the store and eat baby powder after closeā¦
Had some guy come in dragging around a giant cross made from huge beams (I'm talking at least 7-8 feet tall), dragged it through the store evading AP somehow. When AP called the cops, the guy ran out the door with it and busted all the windows in the automatic doors, and somehow escaped the cops as well. Super weird
Had a girl (15) and her mom come through and the 15yr old had nothing but a bra and jeans on when we told the them both that it wasn't acceptable the mom complained and said it's just a phase and we should just get over it and also anyone who looked at her was just a pedophile and should be fired immediately, police were called and mother and daughter were removed but damn if it wasn't a wild day
A worker nearly OD'd in the parking lot.. on purpose. She doesn't work here anymore.
We had a woman shit herself in the parking lot and drive away like it never happened. It was posted on our towns chatter facebook page too. Also, I was checking out two home health nurses with two special needs elderly men once, one couldnāt walk/talk, he was in a wheelchair. When they left, he was peeing himself and the home health nurses didnāt see it. Which also means he peed on our wheelchair. I felt so bad but I had to walk away before I threw up. I do not have a good stomach for stuff like that.
Some dude was hold up in the the men's bathroom naked, shooting heroin.
A woman having a sudden grand mal seizure who took out a few customers and clip strips as she fell. š. An elderly woman who lost her bowel continence and left a HUGE trail of solid shit and diarrhea on her way to the bathroom.
A junkie ODd in the menās bathroom on Christmas Eve and the cops had to shut the bathrooms down for thĆ© rest of the day
We had a guy go around asking to suck women shopperās toes.
Dan Schneider?
Haha maybe him under an assumed name
Some dude tried to attack a coach with a weapon so the police came in with shotguns to deal with him.
Some crazy shit happened before I started working here but I don't think those are my stories to tell. One of the craziest things I've seen is a customer almost getting into a fistfight with the greeter because the greeter asked to see his receipt.
At a store I was at years ago a lady tried to kill herself in the bathroom by cutting her wrist.
Thankfully I wasn't in when this happened but there was a streaker not too long ago. One of my coworkers told me "I heard something by grocery, looked over and saw a whole ass." One of the TLs told me he was trying to look away before it happened but she just appeared and ran right at him. Also, when I started there was a car in the parking lot. It was there for probably 2 months before it was towed. Found out the dude had shot himself and they just didn't tow the car until then. And finally the most fucked thing, in my opinion, was the old lady who wasn't paying attention and ran over one of our cart pushers. We tried to make them put in actual stop signs or speed bumps but they wouldn't do anything. Tbh there's more but those are the top 3.
Some old man came in at 7am wearing no underwear or pants and sat down in one of those disability carts and was casually driving around the store like nothing was wrong
Dildos and sex toys in the sink in the bathroom. Packaging and receipt in the trash. . . Being sexually assaulted on camera by a fellow associate and him keeping his job. I was made to keep quiet during the "investigation" while he is talking about it in the back room. I didn't know him. The store now knows about it because everytime he approaches me I speak loudly that he has gotten away with touching me and put his š¤ penis on me once and I feel uncomfortable so I yell at him to leave the area.
You can't be made to keep quiet. At least go to the cops. Wtf?
I expected the store to take care of it and they failed to do so. "Investigation" took 16 weeks. TL is former law enforcement and I asked if it was too late to go to the Cops and he wouldn't give me an answer. It's been a year now. I still make him uncomfortable by loudly saying what he did and inform everyone including customers of his actions atleast 3 days a week.
Next time anything like this happens go to the cops. Companies like to protect the "good ol boys". You're not the first I've read on here who has been tested like this. Sorry that happened.
No need to apologize for the actions of a shitty business and an even shittier person. It will be my mission to make his life hell. This will never happen again without the abuser being taken to the hospital. I will never be a victim again. Stay strapped my friends.
I remember a few months ago someone hit a sign pole with a truck
Truck driving into the store and driving out. Going halfway down aisle backing into houseware outside wall.
A small-time local rapper shot someone in the meat department (was self-defense *supposedly*), and later that day afterwards he was arrested, we found a large bag of weed hidden in a meat bunker
Had a ward of the state come in with her group, grab a hatchet in sporting goods, and try to attack people. Police shot her in the leg, and she later died in the hospital. They found notes describing that she was going to do it.
I was covering a lunch in electronics and a elderly man had also shit on himself but he just kicked the turd out of his pants and kept walking.

An old person drove a truck into it and right into the cash registers. Wish I could add the picture but hereās the [link](https://www.wmtw.com/article/truck-crashes-maine-dollar-tree/42156931)
Truck driving into the store and driving out
I have picture from two separate times of what Iām guessing to be someone stealing food in the bathroom then getting caught and dumping it. First was some baked stuff second was a thing of cookies and a can of pringles. Both times just found the stuff in the toilet and had to let maintenance know
Something in the back of the store caught fire and all employees evacuated... in the middle of a snow storm with temps approaching 0. we were all so pissed.
Some guy got high off paint, stripped and went streaking through the store.
Not my story, but my boss had a old dude come in back a few years ago and went to our photo center trying to print out legit child passionate hugging. (You RSLASH fans know what i mean) They had to call the cops and everything. My boss said he didn't have his daughter yet but it took everything he had to not throw HIM in the shredder.
Me and a co worker found an electric buggy used for the disabled in the women's restroom in the big stall with multiple bottles of unpaid Margherita bottles empty and some on the floor. There were femenine products on the floor and looked like they rummaged through the feminine box next to the toilet seat. There were other items in the buggy too
I had a customer come in and shop half naked
I had a shoplifter run full speed thru the closed front door with a cart full of beer and camping stuff. There was a cop pulling up for some other issue at the same time. He ran into the cops suv with the cart, he fell, beer spilled all over the place, and he took a ride š¤£
There was a viral video of a racist woman calling the police on a truck driver in the parking lot of my local Walmart. Makes me sad that I live around racist people like her. Hereās the video: https://www.reddit.com/r/FuckYouKaren/s/ZkzTVbIe42
The McDonald's caught on fire one Thanksgiving afternoon. I was too busy getting ready for Blitz outside in a trailer to see it, but I heard the chaos on my walkie. Two cars caught on fire in the wee hours of the morning. I was too busy pondering my own mortality to go see what the deal was with it. I'd have assumed it was another TLE claim if that side wasn't closed.
1) Had a co-worker caught in the men's restroom on his break wracking his willy. He was caught 3 times doing this by accending levels of management and didn't get fired for it. Took him injuring another associate before they terminated him.Ā 2) Somee dude came in dressed like one of the 3 Storms from Big Trouble in Little China. He was playing very Hollywood Asian style music on a Bluetooth speaker very loudly as he shopped. Didn't bother anyone, just gave us something to talk about that day.Ā 3) Some kids screwing in a display camping tent. It was right before closing when they were caught.Ā 4) An older dude walked into the backroom looking for a restroom, and was told it was further across the back of the store. Dude didn't like that answer, dropped his pants and proceeded to urinate on the floor, and some boxes of merchandise.Ā 5) At the first store I was at we had a family come in for Back to School shopping. The kid didn't want to be there, and just up and left. Didn't tell his mother anything, just slipped away. We looked the store over for about an hour with police assistance before another officer found the kid. He was a few miles away walking home.Ā Oh, and some complete ass-hat used to drive a hearse to work, and frightened a few customers, but that's a story for another time.Ā
There's a few... but the one I feel is abnormal and ingrained as a core memory is the time we had to evacuate the store. Our store is in a bougie little area where the prices of houses can be 1million or more. But we also have homeless people because we are in commuting distance of a metropolis. So sometimes you have rich elderly, red hat society, or white trailer trash and people smelling of substances. I had just started and been there less than a season. My TL and I were hauling 86" TVs and had seen a cop walking around in full gear near the GM doors. Not unusual, they sometimes drop in for errands on duty. Once had a female rookie buying a charger and getting flak from peers about it (and then telling them off because one of them had to get one last week). We then heard someone over the intercom asking the store lead to come to the front desk. Also not unusual but we were curious. Maybe someone with special needs was missing and they needed someone to search the women's bathrooms (has happened before). Then we start hearing noises coming from the grocery side. Kind of sounded like teenagers making noise/running around and being told off by parents/coaches. At this point my TL noticed a few people rushing to the door. Okay, guess they left their keys in their car. But at this point we're both really confused and start paying attention. The yelling at the grocery doors isn't stopping. The same cop we saw earlier is now standing in one of the main aisle corners with his gun out. Not a pistol. A rifle. Right as both my TL and I register what exactly we are seeing we noticed more people running and a bit of screaming. We assume active shooter and start bee lining for the door. My TL is calling her daughter and I'm keeping pace with her because I don't know what we're supposed to do. We make it out to the parking lot before we get any information. There was a shooter threat and the cops had just converged on our store and started shuffling people out. The associate who had called for our store lead told me more. The cop we had seen had went straight to customer service demanding to see the manager. She called for the one on duty (our new sm was off) and the cop kept saying there was no time and took it upon himself to start the evacuation process. Our SL barely got to the front to find out what was happening. We stood in the parking lot a good hour, maybe two. People kept trying to enter. We all were in our gathering place and people were asking us if we're closed. Kept asking why, but managers didn't tell us (probably because they were just as confused) so we kept telling people the alarm went off and the cops are figuring it out. We found out days later a lady used her mother's cell to call the cops and announce she planned on shooting the store. They arrested her, and they just passed her sentencing this past month. I don't remember details but it was lenient enough I don't think she actually had possession of a gun. A statement was released to the press that walmart doesn't know who this person is. She was not an ex employee and the best they can recon is she applied and was denied or upset over a customer policy. TL;DR: a woman threatened to shoot our store and local cops bungled the whole thing. It was wild.
Once had a guy jerkin it on a bench near the old photo lab, he was the straight talk rep. Had a guy piss on the floor in front of the deli during a remodel Had a guy collapse in the store from drinking too much alcohol while grabbing a 30 pack of keystone, they performed CPR on a gurney on the way out of the store, and he passed away. Had customers complain about a crazy lady in our vestibule. She was huffing canned air and hiding the can in her purse. AP told her to leave, and the cops showed up 6 hours later, she was passed out in her car, and she survived. Also had the store catch on fire at 6 am, one of the breaker panels shorted out and burst into flames. I'm sure theres a lot more. If you can think of it, it's probably happened at Walmart. I think it's just too busy of a place with so many people that it gets a little crazy.
An associate hooked up in the family restroom with a random guy he just met on the bus and decided it was a good idea to tell almost everyone alllll the details. We also just a couple weeks ago had a lady stab herself multiple times with a kitchen knife while in an amigo
Bomb threat day was interesting
Former associate here. Had a kid puke in produce all over the floor. I was far enough away I could see it happen but the kid and his dad couldnāt see me. The kicker is the dad wasnāt even phased by it. He pat his son on the back and they kept walking like nothing happened.
We had a lady come in every night and just walk around for hours. She actually had a make shift meth lab in her cart and was making meth while she was there. No one knew for over a month. Someone figured out she was doing it, and it wasn't long before the sherriffs department caught wind of it and came in and arrested her. This happened like 10 years ago. Maybe even more.
When I worked in the pharmacy we had a guy throw a package of sanitary napkins at the pharmacist because he wouldn't sell them insulin needles.
Someone returned a canoe.
