I was in WalMart with my kid the other day. There was a 20-something woman in a white, sheer, skin-tight tank top with no bra. Alex is 16 months old and even he stared. The funny thing was, multiple male employees kept coming up to her asking if she needed help, then stalling to keep her attention. Since when do WalMart employees try to assist customers? Even more funny was the reaction from customers: males stared, females stared, then glared. The braless wonder was “udderly” (pun intended) clueless. Or she’s perfected the art of acting clueless.
Personally, I thought it was pathetic.
Having my replaced item and receipt in the tied off bag I attempted to enter the rest room when an employee stopped me.
She pointed me to a sign which read; “no merchandise allowed inside”. When I explained to her my package was mine and was paid for, and did she want to see the receipt, she reiterated the sign.
Not being able to continue my path I turned around and walked out the main doors. How silly, I couldn't take my bag with me inside the rest room,but I could walk right out of the store with the bag. I was so unnerved by this I walked back into the store and called management. Someone needs to tell this bimbo what that sign really means.
I guess that’s why she worked at Wal-Mart....no thinking needed!
Yes, we're all very impressed macho dude! Getting arrested for assault in front of your kid is SO cool!
Sorry, but I find this hard to believe.
I didn’t run away, I was leaving anyway.....oh sh*t!!
I get asked if I want help all the time and believe me I ain't no movie star.
You do? Excellent! Do you wear sheet tank tops? Kidding. Just kidding.
I’ve never been asked if I need help at WalMart. But I rarely shop there, and the store I go to is usually very chaotic and crowded.
I haven't heard of any. Have you?
The police could do nothing about him parading around naked because Berkeley had no public nudity laws. As long as he wasn't creating a disturbance, they could nothing.
The University of California, Berkeley did finally get involved. But only after a couple of ladies filed sexual harassment complaints against him. The naked guy had not interacted with these women nor threatened them but they claimed that his constant nudity was disturbing them. I don't remember exactly what action Cal took but it was pretty trivial.
I'm not surprised to hear that he committed suicide. Obviously, he was a pretty disturbed man.
She might be clueless about a lot of things but she knows perfectly well what type of response she will get to her revealing attire.
Nonsense. Didn't I see you starring in a Godzilla movie?
Yep, I think you’re right. It’s just a little scary to think that someone actually thinks that it’s okay to go out in public like that - you know, she gets dressed, looks in the mirror and thinks, “Yeah, you can definitely see my boobs and that’s okay. Now where did I put my car keys?”.
I get embarrassed if my bra strap shows!
My daughter was thew security manager of a new discount store in Diamond Bar CA. She was assigned to open the store for her great work in other stores. Also, the local cops would back her up and she showed up in court to close cases.
The first week in DB a man was exposing himself to children in the parking lot. She called the cops (LASO) they said the case was not enough to warrant a response. She talked to the Lt. and he actually said, the guy would probably be gone by the time they got there. She said she had witnesses and a license plate number. He said they had other things going on.
The dirtiest store I've ever been in was a WalMart in Hood River OR. At the men's rooms was a sign saying to call the manager if the mens room was not satisfactory. I did. That was 3 years ago. Still waiting for a response.
The WMs in south CA are generally not clean. Stuff is all over the floor, graffiti in the rest rooms, and tight aisles. I have been to some very clean WMs in the south and midwest.
In socal, I go to Target. They are generally cleaner and wider aisles.
Berkeley being Berkeley, I'm sure they weren't concerned with the public nudity, but you'd at least think they'd consider hygene issues. Who'd want to sit in the same classroom seat that naked, sweaty-ass guy sat in before you?
I have not but that means absolutely nothing since it is purely anecdotal. Indecent exposure is seldom reported in the newspaper and it is in the best interest of the retail establishment to keep things like this quiet.
LOL
Happened at Sears when I worked there in the early 1990s. A man was caught on the security camera "pleasuring" himself with a few items of Sears' fine collection of sexy, ladies' undergarments.
The store's undercover security guard, a big, biker-dude with a serious mullett (this was the early 1990s) had to keep from laughing when he went to apprehend the guy.
And no, for those who might ask, he wasn't an illegal Mexican immigrant. Just a regular, run-of-the-mill homegrown pervert.
Some parents are idiots in this respect. I work as an overnight stocker at WM (10 pm to 6;30 am -- Retired Old Fud beer-money job.).
Around 2 am this tiny little girl, about six or seven, comes up to me and asks where the shoe department is. I ask her what does she want, meanwhile looking for her mom. She says, "My mom left her keys on one of the benches and sent me back to get them." My hair goes Afro. What is the mother thinking?
I escort the kid to the bench and she finds the keys. I am escorting her back to the front door, intending to walk with her to the car and suggest to the mother that she not do this again (ahem). The kid streaks out the store ahead of me but I get there in time to see her get in the car and mom drives away.
This kid could have been molested or grabbed while the idiot mom waited 15 minutes or more before checking on the kid. And then she would have sued WM.
To be honest with you I simply refuse to believe that Walmart would allow ANY of it’s stores to deteriorate to the level you have described. They have a literally perfect business model and fully realize that keeping a store neat and clean is VERY high on the list that insures continued profitability and growth.
I have been all over the nation in the past 10-15 years and have visited among others Walmart stores in California, in LA specifically and have never witnessed what you describe. Could it happen? Sure but no way would it be allowed to continue.
AS much as the lib media despises Walmart you can bet that if there was ANY sort of a shortcoming in these stores they would be putting it on page 1 above the fold, right side and play it up for weeks. The fact I have never seen anything except for here tells me it is a problem that is either totally insignificant or else totally manufactured by trolls who increasingly visit this site.
It is well known that liberals despise Walmart and would NEVER admit to shopping there (of course they do)and would think nothing of simply spreading lies about the company in a futile attempt to do it harm.
