Try a certain "type" of people.

Like I said an earlier post, I can't relate and I've got two WMs within 5 - 10 miles from me.
The Walmart culture has become the reflection of American culture, sorry if you don't like the reality of that.

When someone walks into a store minding their own business, they shouldn't be the target of insults in public.

That can be extremely traumatizing to people and, in certain cases, triggering of past and pre existing traumas and memories of negative encounters.

If you see a stranger in public, no matter how they look or what they're doing (as long as it's not illegal), keep your mouth and leave them alone if you have something negative to say.

People are not walking around just to be on the receiving end of your judgements and negative commentary.

And if you get punched in the face because you had to say or point out something negative about a stranger within earshot of them, good. You deserved it.

Liberals hate most people I've found in my experience.

Oh bs. I was insulted by a much older stranger who was white and trying to impress his young gf in a pet smart in an upscale area of nj.

The only reason I didn't call a manager because it was such an unbelievable thing to say it didn't even register to me what happened until about five minutes later when he had already left the store.

It's not just the "ghetto".. There's instigators and garbage everywhere and of every ethnicity.

But let's not act your average ghetto Walmart is the same as a store in a non-ghetto area.

Here's a brawl at a ghetto Walmart around here last year:

Im curious as to why you would call the manager? Was the guy shoplifting?

So, are the dented cans going to be marked down? It never hurts to have a few extra cans of chili on the shelf.

You're speaking in hackneyed, overly broad anti-WM talking points that don't mesh with everyone's WM experiences.

What in the hell is the "WM culture" you so disdainfully post about?

I've already said I've got two WMs within 5-10 miles of me and can no more relate to the incident in the OP than I can to saying I'm moving my family to Somalia.

Your reality is much different than mine and I certainly enjoy mine. Even after I've purchased items at my local WMs.

Great prices on motor oil and automotive filters.

No kidding. Are managers supposed to deal with hurt feelings?

Some of the comments in this thread are so comical they could be used in a standup routine! I'm LMAO!
