| 0:00.0 | An entitled Karen tries to get me fired, all because she hit me with her electric scooter |
| 0:04.9 | at Walmart, falsely claiming that I was the reason she crashed. Things escalated so much |
| 0:10.4 | that she even showed up to our store with a lawyer next to her. Here's what happened. |
| 0:14.8 | So when I was in college, I used to work at Walmart, initially as a courtesy clerk. |
| 0:19.4 | The town I lived in easily exceeded 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer months. |
| 0:24.8 | By state law, the store had to give us a five minute break inside, just a cool down, |
