I’d sue. It seems to me that merchants can use force to thwart theft.
One more reason never to shop at Chi-Mart

“He accused Bauman of using a slur against him.”
I was confused by this story. That line at the end clears it up.
Walmart has descended into third world country.
Was he just supposed to stand there and let somebody pound on him, until he collapsed? Or what?
“he customer also claimed to be acting in self-defense. He accused Bauman of using a slur against him.”
Since when does one have to physically defend themselves against a slur?
What BS.... the greeter was protecting Walmart from getting ripped off, gets assaulted by a customer and his self defense gets him fired. Garbage management-—someone will hire this man and give him a raise. This Walmart sounds like a good spot for the next Tea Party gathering.
For once I am on the side of the employee.
He didn’t initiate the contact and didn’t attempt to stop the (apparent) thief.
When the perp put his hands on the Walmart employee, all bets were off.
Or does Walmart expect their greeters to just stand there and take a pounding from anyone and everyone who walks through the door?
He should get a BONUS for protecting the interests of the store.
I don’t see that the Walmart greeter did anything wrong. The customer was probably just pissed-off about the alarm going off.
Wal-Mart is just another globalizing harlot like Home Depot.
When you enter their stores, you leave America behind.
I they go to Hell with Ikea.
“The customer also claimed to be acting in self-defense. He accused Bauman of using a slur against him.”
Race card? If so, what a shock! /sarc
WalMart should owe him a safe workplace. Since they cannot provide that, they should be sued. Big time...
Get your s**t and get out!
sue Walmart... attacked on employer’s property... employer’s inappropriate and unfair response... then sue the customer too...
Sorta OT-ish, but: You have to be astounded at the stupidity of the thief: “HEY! Did you just write down my plate?” (Indicating a consciousness of guilt, only to be underscored as we continue.) “Come back here! I’m going go back where the cameras are on us, grab you and seize your clipboard on which you wrote down my plate — then punch you! THAT’ll teach you!”
Apparently WalMart wants us to know it’s ok to steal at their stores. Message received!
I was in Target late Sunday night. Two women were heading out the door and the magnetic tag on one of their purchases set off the alarm. They looked at each other and looked in their bag, pulling out a garment.
They looked at each other again, shrugged, and headed out the door. A dozen clerks were standing around. They all looked up and then went back to their work.
