There’s just gotta be a special place in heaven for these minimum wage workers who are showing up each day during all this.
You know, I don’t even need to see pictures anymore. At some point, us crackers might wake up and fix the problem.
Posting the picture was not necessary. The description is inherent in the headline.
While this is criminal behavior, what I’m most surprised about is that they had any Lysol spray available.
Here in Pittsburgh last week, a guy crawled under a plexiglass partition to spit on the face of a grocery store worker.
Some people are out of control.
‘What’s placer in jail with lots of people may be infected what’s the coronavirus
What’s placer should be let’s place her!’
that’s easy for you to say...
My daughter is a cashier at WalMart. Very proud of her.

I think your daughter is very special. Please pass on a thank you.
I checked the demographics of the town in the article. Over 96% white and one of the few locales in Mass. to vote in higher numbers for Trump than Clinton in 2016. I am guessing if she is/was a resident, she abstained from voting or chose Bill’s wife.
It is similar to the reaction of the Japanese people after the Fukishima Nuclear plant meltdown. The Japanese people lined up, cleaned up and did so in a calm orderly fashion.
The exact same way they did after the Tsunami disaster. Compare this to the people of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. What is the difference? The demographic makeup of the population of the area.
Probably not a resident. Going town to town to hoard up for use or resale to her
neighbors for a big profit. Uber knows who she is or who paid for the fare. Some
overboss probably sent a bunch of this kind of trash out on Uber. profiteering -
hang them all.
“We westerners” need to learn our “manners?” Ha! I remember a couple of years ago going through customs in South Korea. Merely going from the airport tram to the stairs leading to the customs screening, little old Korean ladies would run and all of them would knock you on the ground to get to the stairs first.
There are all types out there. COVID19 hasn’t change that.
Food shopping last week, fellow shoppers seemed extra courteous. Got to the front of the store to check out and the manager was straight up yelling at customers who weren’t following her preferred method of queuing up for checkout. No signage, no tape on the floor, just her standing there yelling at customers to do what she said.
The cashier, on the other hand, was sweet as a rose, and wore a nice smile.
Yes, they are soldiering on. We should kick out the illegals so workers like this get paid better generally. But the medical field is sure to win all recognition awards this year.
Me too!!!
Agreed. In these situations the people who deserve to be eradicated from the planet show themselves.
“Police say the woman completed her purchase after spraying the employee and then left in an Uber.”
How was she able to complete her purchase? Didn’t the cashier scream or get assistance from anyone?
After about 6 months I was promoted to fulltime assistant manager and other 6 months or so, was promoted to manager of another store. I worked for the company for 6 years. I worked a lot of hours but made some decent money – a base salary + a % of sales after payroll and fortunately I managed one of the top 10 stores and at 19 years old, their youngest ever store manager. And I probably learned more about business management in those years than I would have sitting in a college classroom.
I had a lot of regular customers who I got to know on a first name basis and had an excellent rapport with, and many other customers were great, but sometimes there were real jerks.
I had one older man who used to come in everyday to buy a newspaper and every time he’d literally throw the money across the counter at me, forcing me to pick it up off the floor and he never said a word to me or even made eye contact with me. I also had some guys make some rather creepy sexual advances, not harmless flirting or even asking me out for a date mind you, but some really sick stuff.
I had a customer complain about the price of TastyKakes. When I tried to politely and respectfully explain that 1) we sold them at the same price as the grocery store and 2) I didn’t set the price, he went into full rage mode and started cursing at me, calling me some rather foul things (use your imagination). When I asked to curb his language or leave, he told me that “You only make minimum wage (not true BTW) because unlike me, you are stupid and uneducated, therefore I can talk to you anyway I want.”
I had some other similar encounters, customers complaining about things out of my control, which I understood and sometimes agreed with, but took the brunt of their anger and abuse.
I had a customer come in one Monday morning to tell me he and his kids had been there Sunday afternoon and were not happy with the size of their ice cream cones and that the person who waited on them was rude, demanding that I immediately fire her – he actually wanted me to call her on the phone and fire her while he stood there. I explained that while I took his complaint seriously and would look into it, I couldn’t do that without hearing her side of the story and also while everyone has a bad day, the woman he was complaining about had worked for me for over 3 years (and BTW worked as a bank teller in her full time job) and was one of my best and most reliable employees about whom I’d never had a previous complaint.
He went into a rage and wanted the phone number of my supervisor, threatened to get me fired too, etc. etc. etc. I gave him the phone number of my district manager and of the HQ and he left in a huff. When I talked to the worker, she told me the real story – he and his three kids asked for a sample of just about every flavor before deciding, were holding up the line but more importantly, in between his kids were running amok in the store, pulling magazines and comics off the rack and tossing them on the floor, picking up candy off the rack and throwing them on the floor when the dad said they couldn’t have it, etc. When he complained that the scoops were too small, she put an extra scoop on each one at no charge just to get them to leave, but then one of his kids decided he’d changed his mind on what flavor he wanted and smashed the cone on the counter in a temper tantrum, at which point, she told him to leave. I believed her as did our district manager after talking with both of us and the customer, he told him, “perhaps you might find the service at another store more to your liking and I suggest you do so”.
Then there was the time a young well-dressed yuppie looking woman who came in early one morning for coffee just after I opened. When she put the cream in (one of those individual creamer pods) it curdled (for some reason, even though in date and kept cold, every once and a while an individual creamer would do that). I apologized profusely, handed her a brand new coffee cup, told her that her coffee would be at no charge and asked her to wait a minute while I went to the walk in cooler to get a new box of creamers.
When I got back, literally seconds later, she had poured hot coffee into the new cup but then started cursing at me and said I was responsible for making her late for work and then took the scalding hot cup of coffee and threw it at my head, then stormed out, got into her BMW and peeled away like a crazy person. I was so shocked that I didn’t get her license plate otherwise I would have called the police and back then we didn’t have security cameras. Fortunately, my reflexes were quick back then and rather than the hot coffee hitting my face it hit my shoulder and upper arm – but still hurt like hell and had to work my 10+ hour shift with coffee stains on my clothes.
FWIW, all the above customers were white.
Years later I worked at a grocery store fulltime, then after embarking on a career in PR and HR & benefits and general accounting, part time seasonal gigs at Target and Toys R Us and most recently at Panera Bread as a delivery driver. Most people are nice or neutral but some are unbelievably rude and or unhinged.
Oh and as working as a cashier, I can’t tell you how many times someone sneezed or coughed into their hands before pulling money out of a sweaty pocket or bra and handing it to me.
As a result, it takes extremely rude or incompetent service for me to complain. Most of the time I put myself in their shoes and try to keep in mind that perhaps they had a really rude customer(s) before me or even in the case of what I might think of as incompetence, might be due to a lack of training. I also know how hard it was if you had several really rude customers in a row to keep smiling and maintain a cheerful demeanor. And unless I get very bad or incompetent service in a restaurant, coffee shop, hairdressers, etc., I’m a pretty generous tipper.
Please be kind to these people who are working under a lot of stress for little pay right now. And if you get food or carry out deliveries, please be sure to tip them.
“Walmart patron sprays cashier in the eyes with Lysol over coronavirus limit, police say”
There was a limit on the amount of coronavirus the customer could buy?
And here I thought there was more than enough to go around...
