Wal-Mart Greeter & Attack By Shopper!


Appalling news for the holidays, as an elderly man working as a greeter for WalMart was punched in the face by a shopper.

In previous years there have been numerous outbreaks of violence during the holiday sales rush, including the tragic trampling death at Wal-Mart last year. This year the major stores all beefed up security and training to go along with their big sales on HDTVs and Blu-rays and such, but after a peaceful Black Friday we now have another outbreak of shopper violence. For details on the crime see the article below.

The ugly side of the commercialized holiday shopping season rears its head once again. Shameful, and should be a wake-up call for everyone to slow down on the conscpicuous consumption and super-saver deal hunting, and remember this season is supposed to be about caring for each other.

A 72-year-old Wal-Mart greeter is in the hospital after being punched in the face by a Pittsburgh-area man. Surveillance video shows Thomas Jenkins standing at the entrance to the Wal-Mart in a town about 13 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. A man comes around the corner, punches Jenkins in the face and the elderly man falls to the ground...

I also work at Walmart in Canada and I find this behaviour appalling. I don't think people realize that we (employees of WalMart) do the best we can to provide superior customer service but we have rules to follow. I have encountered some fairly rude customers in my years at Wal Mart and there are times when it is very frustrating to be treated that way but you know what they say - what goes around, comes around.
