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.

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.

Ya think that just might be why they did not step in?

I would have. I'm 71 years old and not very big and not very strong, but I would have stepped in. Of course, I probably would have had the shite beat out of me but I would've stepped in.

About 20 years ago I saw what I thought was a group of 3 teens beating an elderly man at a closed MacDonald's. I was in the car and turned around and went back as fast as I could. On the way, I thought I'd probably be beaten badly but I decided to try to bluff my way through. When I got up to them it wasn't an elderly man at all, but another teen wearing a long overcoat and the 4 of them were then just walking along together.

Well, pulling out a cell phone to film a person you are arguing provocative. A neighbor did that to my wife when I wasn’t around. I caught him alone and told him I wasn’t pleased. Wimp couldn’t bring himself to take a swing at me.

One post will do. I am having trouble and not sure if it’s the keyboard or something else.

I am pretty much getting sandpapered right now for saying there may be more to this. I have seen enough customers I would have liked to hit over time. They can be jerks too really abusive to the employees.

Most of us were almost always right on the nooses type stories.

The media exploits on page one and retracts on page 16.

Jazareia doesn’t seem like much of a people person.

If I am wrong then I am wrong. Put your pitchfork down for a day or two until the rest of the story comes out.

The media is famous for inflammatory stories on page 1 and retractions or corrections days later.

No wonder you don’t use the self checkout for more than a couple of items. 😁

If these dumb asses keep rolling over and accepting the concept of “do your own” without a DISCOUNT for “doing it yourself” they are stupid as hell. So where is my 10% to 15% off for doing their job for them???

At least two people should become rich or at least well off.

Magic words by a manager, “We knew she is a loose cannon”. Caching! We’re in the chips now!

Folks, if you want to keep any waddlemart like jobs you are going to have to self-police the likes of jammieka or whatever the hell her name is.

Your client is toast.

Disabled or Elderly Victims
If the victim is over age 62 or has an obvious or known physical disability, Wisconsin law assumes that the act of battery created a substantial risk of great bodily injury and the defendant must show at trial that it did not.
(Wis. Stat. § 940.19.)

Let’s face it, no one intervened because they didn’t want to be called a “racist” for having done so.

Interesting correlation. What about food? Sustenance? Who in this current culture would actually put tech ahead as a priority ahead of bread and a full stomach???

Stupid... absolutely stupid...

This senior likes service. So far I haven’t had to honk at the gas station for assistance.

It can’t happen soon enough for me.

Never wanted to say that but the time has come to pick a side.
