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.

Are we sure she wasn’t the one who asked LeBron for his autograph?
No, it’s more about a sense of chivalry.
That’s where the “stepping in” comes from.
In turn today I almost floored a fat piece of crap Walmart employee. “Excuse me for just a sec, I just need to get by you to get a package of butter if you don’t mind?” He said “You can wait your turn, I am more important and delivering curbside.”
No fat you bastard, move... NOW... He moved.
DO NOT PUT UP WITH THIS FOLKS.
“Jazareia”... That would be a great name for a live music/neon skee-ball venue!
No surprise here. And she best make Walmart make better hiring decisions in the form of magnificent punitive damages.
There are cameras EVERYWHERE at Walmart. If it happened, it’s on video.
I am pretty sure they are using the self-checkout lane cameras to log what you are purchasing for the FBI so they can target the preppers when TSHTF.
Wow, that poor woman looks trashed. That clerk is out of her mind.
Yeah.
I go to Walmart specifically because they have self-checkout.
Granny should have been carrying.
Damn, that is going to be expensive for Walmart.
Next time carry a taser and use it. Mace too.
I guarantee she will claim that the customer called her a racial slur. It is part of the playbook. Depending on the DA, they will get her into a diversion program and she will walk away without a criminal record.
Walmart on the other hand is screwed and should be making settlement offers now.
Shader says what took her by surprise the most was that no one stepped in to help her during the incident,
If that would have happened where I live, she would have had a mud hole stomped in her.
Female or male, that shit doesn’t matter anymore. It’s time to teach these punks a harsh lesson.
Oh yes, Let’s promote that concept so that folks who live rural and only go once every three weeks have to do self check out with three weeks worth of sustenance, two carts full.
Thank you for the city concept where everyone lives right around the corner, but Screw you for that stupid thought of advantage... The concept is dumb and ignorant as hell.
It promotes “minimal purchase”, when a store is absolutely stupid to not have every customer come and fill a cart full. Self check out promotes a 2 item dash and run.
Absolutely counterproductive for the store, and super inconvenient for the customers. Where did “customer service and respect” go???
No, no, and no...
And it puts folks out of work.
Please stand in the long line and wait if you actually care about the future of his country...
One guy in line to check out the regular way told me that in
one WalMart they left their carts when they found out they had
to self-check.
************
I self-check out if I have just a few items, etc. But if I
have a lot I’ll go thru the cashier line. At least the ‘Mart
were we live has that option so far. Lots of people doing
a call in order and lets the store get it all together.
