Multiple victims after mass shooting at Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia
WalMartal
Darn, you beat me to it (just typed and posted without checking :P)
Ahhh, you’re nuts!
Between mass shootings and Black Friday approaching might as well call it War-Mart.
A guy could get hurt in that jernt
“Known to the FBI”??
Got to beat that drum loud while they still have a crumb of control.
First check: psychoactive drugs involved? prescription or recreational? SSRI or benzodiazepine? Seeing a therapist? history of anger management?
Just getting ready for Black Friday!
“Postal?”
Just the few times I was even in a Walmart was enough to understand that.
>> And I’m not so sure about you.
I’m nuts. I hope that certainty brings you more peace than fear. :-)

No outcry about Moscow, ID. But flyover non special group of folks.
In Texas (most of ‘em, anyway) you can pack heat into a Wally World.
It gives one a surreal but palpable sense of calm among the (shall we say) varied flora and fauna of Wally World shoppers.
Pushing for an assault weapons ban in this lame duck session requires justification.
Last chance for the dems to do it til who knows when.
Pulling out all stops.
My daughter was a supervisor at a big box store. She handled the customers well but she had little patience with the people that wouldn’t work hard.
I’m guessing this manager was out on the floor dealing with perhaps several unhappy and impatient customers and finally got fed up with one of them.
Then went into the break room to deal with the workers hanging out and leaving him out on the floor to do all the work.
That’s getting near to swamp territory, isn’t it?
Former Walmart Asset Protection Manager here. I left in 2014. This is a tough time of the year with the Holidays. The pressure is enormous. Management in a big box store is pretty brutal. Lots of back-stabbing and a general oppressive environment. Pay is okay, but you are expected to work six days a week, 12 hour days if you are a team player. If not a team player, you are not there long. Most are wanting to do something else with their life, and Walmart doesn’t help with the extreme workload of the average manager. Some hold up rather well. Others quickly find work elsewhere or flip in one sense or another.
Some negative outcomes of management in my circles included a 42-year-old killing himself with energy drinks, one night manager turning to stealing. When asked why, he said he felt like he deserved it for all the extra work he put in. Most were unhealthy in one way or another.
It is not all bad. I was pretty bummed that I did my best to be the perfect co-worker, and when I left one store, all the blame of the dysfunction of my former store was pinned on me. If it wasn’t for backstabbers, that store would not have had management at all. Thankfully, I had a MAPM (Market Asset Protection Manager) that stood up for me.
Same in my area. This time of year, they always have rental containers, but they have more this year. I would assume the threat rail strike threat over the summer prompted them to try to push extra freight to the stores.
