Woman, 70, repeatedly punched by teenage Walmart employee

MOUNT PLEASANT, Wis. (WDJT) - A 70-year-old woman says she was repeatedly punched in the face by a Walmart employee after the two had a verbal argument. She says no one tried to help her and is now encouraging anyone who witnesses a similar incident to step in.

Police responded to a Walmart location in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, around 7:00 p.m. July 7 for reports of a 70-year-old woman who was punched multiple times in the head by a 17-year-old cashier.

The victim, P.K. Shader, sustained injuries to the head and face but did not require immediate medical attention. She says this kind of behavior from employees is unacceptable.

“It has been quite a journey. Why anyone would do that? I don’t know. And why no one helped is even more, especially in a Walmart store,” Shader said.

Both the employee, identified as Jazareia Velasquez, and Shader indicated the incident arose over a verbal argument. According to the criminal complaint, Shader asked to speak to a manager after having a negative interaction with Velasquez. She also attempted to take a picture of the employee to report her.

“She went crazy. She flew, and she punched me, fist right here [in the face] over and over again,” Shader said. “I’m never walking into Walmart again, that’s for sure.”

Velasquez was arrested and later charged with aggravated battery to an elderly person and disorderly conduct.

Shader says what took her by surprise the most was that no one stepped in to help her during the incident, even though employees apparently knew of Velasquez’s temperament.

“What if it was your grandmother? What if it was your mother?... The managers knew she was a loose cannon. The first manager said nothing. The second one told me so.

And we will pay for it all eventually. We always do.

This is the real crime that keeps on giving.

We allow these feral animals to keep living and making trouble.

We should not.

Walmart may be hedging their bet, not wanting a wrongful termination case on their hands. Wait and see...then fire her ass.

I worked as a checker at waddlemat for three years. It was 50 years ago. Never had one incident but dealt with many disagreeable and surly customers. Never once thought of hitting one. I knew better.

There may be two sides to this story but the other side is a weak argument written on the 70 year-old’s face.

Benefit of doubt is withdrawn when warranted. She will have her day in court but Walmart will pay. She forgot the golden rule of retail if she ever knew it. The customer is always right. The lower you are in the food chain the more absolute the rule is. That is why tjere are managers.

The local zoo is missing some livestock, I see. I hope the victim sues and sues BIG. That’s what Walmart gets for hiring and not immediately throwing out the front door such garbage on two legs.

Why don't you slither back to the sewer where you belong... Look at the pictures, you freaking moron!

If the media wants to start a race war, they will fire up the lowest common denominator.

The managers KNEW that POS was a ‘LOOSE CANNON’ and let her stay there as an employee?????!!!!!!


I suppose even Wal-Mart is leery of a discrimination lawsuit, which is what your average thug, who happens to be black, does, if fired.

A lot of people order on line now days.

Online is the ONLY way I get anything from Walmart. One trip to my local store was enough to realize I didn't want to walk around that store with the low rent people I saw around there. There's a reason there are websites like "PeopleofWalmart.com". Here's a synopsis website showing what I mean:

Thank you for a reasonable response. Obviously you have worked retail and dealt with the public so you know what is out there.

There are two things in this story that need answers:

Why did the other customers not help "a little old lady" when she was getting beaten? Almost certainly somebody would under normal circumstances, I know I would.

The bruising on the victim is typical of the type of injury someone gets when they are wearing glasses and the frame gets struck. How the frame got struck is the story.

We may only hear one side here, but I assure you that there is a film of the incident. Walmart has cameras at EVERY checkout stand, at least the one where I worked.

So the hood rat wasn’t fired, she was SUSPENDED! You can’t fire blacks because of black privilege.

Good point. Possibly several angles on the issue.

Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin does not sound very pleasant.

Walmart has a gazillion security cameras. They are probably trying to come up with a settlement amount.
