Showing Original Post only (View all)Just got a call from my son @ Walmart [View all]
He said it's insane there, people tearing down displays to get to the early door-busters... officers walking the building with three patrol cars out front. He's been verbally accosted at the register four times so far, and pushed once. They aren't doing a walkout here, and they need to.
He called me from the break area, and you could hear him breathing heavy. He's ticked, and told me "I'm hope you're not shopping this weekend, these people are F---ing crazy. One more person touches me and I don't give a sh-t, I'm walking." I told him I'd have his back if that's what he wanted to do. He's working till midnight
He told me "You don't want any of this crap Mama, shop online and just stay inside." I wasn't planning on going anywhere this weekend and his call makes me VERY glad I chose to stay in.
Oh... and he only gets paid 8.05 an hour. Freaking bastages.
