Former Walmart employees of Reddit. What are your horror stories? My mom was a manager at Walmart.

She told me about this woman who was trying to steal a prepaid phone. When she got caught by

security, she used the knife she was attempting to open the plastic packaging with to cut the

security dude after cutting herself. She then went on to scream at him that she has an infectious disease, and now he's going

to have it for trying to stop her.

I used to do field service for Walmarts in the Portland, Oregon area.

The East Portland stores were especially fun.

The Wood Village, Eastport Plaza, and Happy Valley stores are relatively close together, and we text refer to them as the Gautmite.

The Eastport Plaza store was especially active, and we nicknamed that one, The Thunderdome.

Every visit we witness, we witness in a rest or something more exciting or disgusting.

Last Christmas, for instance, while Frank Sinatra's version of Missletoe and Holly was playing,

a dude was totally face-planted by some cops after resisting arrest,

in the process damaging the automatic doors and knocking over a display.

Another time, a tech witness the arrest of the hottest-looking naughty worker ever on

82nd Street, being cuffed and stuffed in the parking lot. One day, I arrived at Thunderdome and noticed

that I could not get the customer service desk to check in. Several workers were not allowing people

to pass, and there was also a number of orange cones marking the restricted area.

A quick whiff indicated what my eyes later confirmed.

Crap all over the floor.

The men's room is right next to the customer service area.

Eventually, they had to break out the Samboni machine to finish cleaning up.

I had about 10 registers to work on there that day.
