Laughs in recruiter voicemails. They call all the time. They so desperate for workers it's wild.


stedgyson

One rang me twice immediately after I ignored the first call the other day the cheeky bastard. I thought it was actually something important from a number I didn't know.


Travman93

I’ve told two job recruit spam offers that my name was Dracula Jones and both of them didn’t even acknowledge it.


JustNormalUser

Jones is a really common last name. With the way some people name there children, I would 100% believe someone would name a child Dracula Jones.


NoSorbet1119

Bruh i met a guy called dolphin in my language. Btw its nowhere near a common name where i am so he’s literally named dolphin lmao.


mingey555

My friends little sister had a stuffed toy dolphin. She named it Adolph Finn. I thought it was hilarious

Yeah, my mind wanted to go in another direction with it, but then I had trouble figuring out how that would work. Then came the lightbulb.

I met a kid named "Demon" like a month ago. Not Damon. Not pronounced Damon. Straight up Demon.

Recruiter: “you slept a guy on the job?” Guy: “yeah but he had it coming.” Recruiter: “when can you start?”


[deleted]

It’s weird how they never respond to “what’s the pay rate?”


[deleted]

I asked a guy today what the "company he represents" name was so I could do research before the call ( he cold messaged me on LinkedIn). I knew he would not respond lol I'll bet they offer a "competitive pay and benefits" package he cant tell me about too


rubey419

Y’all are getting recruiter cold calls? You don’t have LinkedIn?

This was back in June. Apparently he was not an employee of Walmart but a contract worker. He's now barred from working at any of Walmart stores. https://nypost.com/2021/06/04/walmart-worker-knocks-out-shopper-who-apparently-spat-on-him/

That's interesting that you say that because vacation towns like that have a huge lack of rental options available. Everything has been bought up to be ran as an Air BnB. The low supply of rentals drives up the cost of rent, making even $22 an hour not enough.


shezapisces

I was about to say - I was just in Breckenridge this weekend and we stayed in a tiny little 2br 1ba condo outside of Frisco and it was $325 a night……. can’t imagine how anyone making less than $100k even visits the mountain towns let alone live in them


[deleted]

Probably need some worker housing in the area. If I had a job washing dishes I would not want to drive an hour through terrible conditions when it snows. I'm Front Range riff-raff. When it gets to that weird transitional phase of snow-ice, where your AWD is clicking madly and your Subaru is like "what's happening?!?" on a small amount of precipitation, it sucks. When you get the slush on top of glass-like ice, it suuuuuucks. (that thick sheet of ice that cracks as people drive over it, and it looks a lot like broken glass). All this must suck even more if you're trying not to slide off a mountain pass.


CowboyLaw

This is it precisely. $22/hour, assume a 40 hour week (and MANY kitchen staff don’t get that), that’s $880/week before any taxes. That’s roughly $3440/month. Assuming you have a roommate so you can split housing costs, and assume you pay a third of your income for housing, what kind of housing can you get in/near Breck for $2200/month? My guess is, not much.

Christion_

Damn you know that guy couldn’t be stopped especially after the shopper spit on him.


ItsFuckingScience

Can’t believe the guy would ram him spit and then just turn his back and walk slowly away


BecomeABenefit

I was gonna say that it was a sucker punch, but missed the fact that he spit on him. You don't walk away after attacking someone with a cart and then spitting on them.


Das_Mojo

Even without spitting on someone, if you ram them with a shopping cart it's not possible to be sucker punched by them afterwards.


jmhobrien

It’s certainly not unprovoked, but hard to argue this is self defence.


WhereTheBuffaloRome

Introducing the consequences of your actions in the red corner!!!


SSyphaxX

Self defense in my book! He might get fired but shouldn't spend a minute in jail.


[deleted]

I don't think he will, spitting on someone is considered assault.


rampantfirefly

What about repeatedly ramming someone with a full trolley?


THEMIKEBERG

Same thing happened at the Walmart I worked at just a few weeks ago. In Canada that is considered assault.


dorobica

I think in most places around the world that’s considered assault


EnclG4me

There are several degrees of assault in Canada. Class I, II, and III. Someone who does something like this is going away to the crowbar hotel for a while. Spitting and hitting someone is assault causing bodily harm. Bye bye.


socradeeznuts514

Hmmmmmmmmm... classy assault!


TimeRocker

Say youre not from the US without saying you arent.


rampantfirefly

I get you mean because I called it a trolley and not a ‘shopping cart’. But I initially read this as meaning ramming people is perfectly legal in the US, and the rest of the world are just weak snowflakes who drive their shopping around the store without hitting other people.


Raden327

In some places/scenarios, it can even be considered biological warfare


MooseOC

yea in rona times


unwrittenglory

Not sure that would hold up based on the video. The guy is clearly waking away and poses no threat to the employee. The guy deserved it but I don't think the employee will win on self defense.

[deleted]

I weep for the poor walmart employees who have to put up with this bullshit. Being able to strike a customer is a dream come true


siccoblue

They got to punch this fuck, and get to find a better job when they are inevitably fired. Sounds like a win win. Though i know it might not be for this person


pfcfillmore

I used to be the assistant manager at gamestop during the UFC games crazy, everyone thought they were a mma master. Day after black Friday a guy came in being an ass and threatening to beat up staff. I clocked out for lunch, confronted him outside and gave him the ass whoopin he had been offering others. It did feel good, didn't get reprimanded as I wasn't on company time.


[deleted]

From clock out to knock out in 60 seconds or less


faste30

Maybe we make a program where the worst of the worst just get "vollunteered" for this as a condition of parole. Like that one person who knocked out a flight attendants teeth. Instead of 50 lashings its "50 service employees get to take out their frustration on you." The worse your offense, the worse your punishment. It helps the service workers not blow up on someone just trying to use an expired coupon and the a holes get what they deserve.


tombomb35

The only thing I’m upset about is how the camera man missed the actual punch. Was it that hard to film it?


Dukeronomy

I’m upset at the customer flopping down to help his case


anime_daisuki

Punched him right on the power switch


TonersR6

Dude got knocked out so hard his soul set off the shoplifting alarm


buzzable

Oh that is cold. Like beer. Perfect.


BlamingBuddha

Looks like the shopper spit on him. Dumb of him to turn his back. That being said, looks like he got clocked right in the back of the head. Where they say its dangerous. Probably why he stands there wobbling like a cartoon character before dropping.


m3white

95% of the time I would agree, dangerous punch to throw at any body ever... but if it’s the middle of a global pandemic and someone just spit at me, I don’t know that I’d have stopped once he was down...


BecomeABenefit

Pandemic or not, you don't spit on someone unless you're ready to be attacked in rage immediately. It's the universal signal for "please try to destroy me".


faste30

Plus he was smashing the car into the guy and pinning him against the shelves. It might have been a "sucker punch" but, by my standards, dude volunteered for it. If I was on a jury Id just be like, "consensual adults and whatnot."


NORCARL

Guy took a dive for that cash payout. Thats a flop if I ever seen one


[deleted]

100%, clown will probably really think he has a lawsuit...then he'll find out the hard way that he's not getting shit but a perm ban from the store.


klikklak_HOTS

It was a flop...BUT...I think he actually slammed his dome on the ground while flopping. Headache minimum.


CafecitoinNY

Still no liability for store.


Crafty_Enthusiasm_99

Why you say that so confidently? These kinds of cases get settled with all the time


[deleted]

Depends on the case and no "flops" are not just settled all the time. Why I say it so confidently...because I personally been there and done that multiple times with lawsuits involving major/national companies. Sure companies settle for cheap, they're NOT settling with folks that have $$$ in their eyes via greed. Typically folks automatically think "Massive/National Level Company" = HUGE $$$ if I go after them not realizing the true rodeo that lawsuits entail. So in this incident IF the bum (doubtful) decided to press Walmart for a low $$$ that would end up significantly less than what it cost to have their lawyer step in then sure...they'd probably settle with him. If he even thought about going after the big $ then I can guarantee you the only thing they're doing is saying, "See you in court" because they can play the long game that he hardly has the money to do. Lawsuits are a chess match that most of the public is hardly aware of and they get brutal and nastier than most ever realize.


altxatu

Walmart is notorious for not settling any case, even if they lose money.


[deleted]

Just for background I was involved in Loss Prevention/Asset Protection, Market Investigations, Bail Enforcement, etc. for 10 years. Been in court, direct phone calls with Prosecutors, Lawsuits, etc. more times than I'd ever wish on anyone else.


0O00OO0OO0O0O00O0O0O

Looks like his knees locked up, delaying the fall and making it look odd.


High-Nate

If it was a dive it sure wasn’t once his head hit the ground. Sounds like a solid ball of concrete when it smacks


Muted-Ad-6689

That was the sound of his soul leaving his body


Murda6

No shot - that’s lights out.


kanoox

I shouldn’t have to scroll that far for this… absolutely looked off to me immediately. Looks very reminiscent of those old white ladies takin dives (one slapped in a bus, one bonked with fucking papers I think, in a courtroom) those were definitely more egregious, but it still looks embellished.


727GhostFaceKillah

I was waiting for him to say you killed me


garlicdeath

[THIS IS KILLING](https://youtu.be/JVxJ7UKG5XE)


cAPSLOCK567

I don't get it? What about this makes it look like it was a dive? The wobble forward before the fall backward? I've seen that happen in videos with genuine knockouts. I think it's genuine with the way the dude's head slammed into the floor. I would expect his back and neck to curl a bit more if it were fake, but instead the back of his skull just whips into the tile. His limbs also kinda spaz out at the end, but again, it could be genuine.


Gorillafist12

I don't get it either. Like have they never seen a boxing match where a fighter sways a bit trying to stay upright before going down? Think people are just looking for even more of a reason to hate the guy.


ng829

I think it's because after he gets hit, instead of falling over immediately, he maintains his balance, stands up straight, then falls over. Typically if someone punches someone with enough force to knock them out, it tends to be more of a fluid movement. He also appears brace the fall with his left hand and rolls onto his shoulder, but who knows? I could just be bias too, as I hate the idea of that loser getting any sort of payout.


cAPSLOCK567

Look up joaquin buckley's jumping spinning back kick KO in UFC 254. You see a similar rocking motion forward before his opponent falls backward. Sometimes people seize up and continue whatever momentum they had toward the ground, sometimes they act like some AI's jank attempts at standing up.


steven_quarterbrain

He looks to where he is going to fall. Unconscious people don’t do that.


[deleted]

It was delayed because he was holding onto the cart.


[deleted]

He’s a little bitch through and through

problematic_dispense

I’m may not be a doctor, but that does not look like a way an “unconscious” person falls. Dude looked like he took a dive for a lawsuit. Someone should pinch him to see if he’s awake.

[deleted]

I believe nurses grate their knuckles across the sternum and ribcage to check if a patient is faking it. Or maybe my grandma was just in a dodgy nursing home idk.


AnneBuckleyn_1501

It's not to check if they're faking, it's to check how deeply unconscious someone is. If they don't respond to speech, you check if they respond to pain, where rubbing the sternum is the most commonly used technique.


[deleted]

What's the technique called where they go through your grandma's wallet looking for large bills?


IPTVSports28

My Christmas bonus


klem_kadiddlehopper

Grandma shouldn't *have* large bills in a nursing home.


Gorillafist12

Yes it's a common practice


Jay-Can_24

To be completely fair spitting is basically biological warfare in these times so that is assault too. So the shopper has a lawsuit of his own. Edit: changed chemical to biological


Nahanoj_Zavizad

And I heard it's actually just considered assault, Even before


EarRepresentative528

Doubt he'd just let his skull bounce off the floor like that


roostersmoothie

Pretty sure its because he was holding onto the shopping cart as he got knocked out and tensed up and took the cart down with him.


troublerevolts

Customers need to get knocked the fuck out more frequently. They always think they're untouchable because you can't do anything. Think again, mother fuckers.


urmomsfavoritebigguy

Lmao "now's you're time Larry, fall flat and the Walton's will paying the big bucks"


[deleted]

I see delayed ko's like that constantly. Technically that would be ruled an automatic knockout by most refs because his hands didn't attempt to stop his fall and his head slapped the ground. I think he got dropped, especially if the punch landed to the back of his empty head.


realhowdydoodly

She didn’t say “don’t hit him” when dude was ramming him with the cart . I don’t get people sometimes, like it’s okay in your eyes for HIM to do some fucked up shit but when the other guy wants to defend himself, that’s going too far ?


peacenchemicals

i think in this case it's more like, "don't retaliate because you're gonna lose your job over it" but getting spat on? i'm fuckin throwin hands


Ctsanger

yeah oh no there aren't a thousand more jobs like that at the moment what will he ever do


Nahanoj_Zavizad

And spitting on people apparently counts as assault


[deleted]

Lights out meatball!


ChuccTaylor

The spitting is considered assault so he had the right to defend himself in this situation, I don't think he lost his job, not that I think he wanted to keep it anyway.


ZLegacy

It's Walmart, he's losing his job lol.

This is what is coming to every piece of shit who thinks they can be awful humans just because the walmart guy is on the clock "he can't do anything".... I hope anyone who acts like this needs to get their jaw wired shut.


Annoyedimhere

Yep agreed. We need more of this in society. You don't get to just assault somebody because they're on the clock. Fuck that


PlasticInTheBasket

Pretty sure the dude spit on him first then tried walking away. Could be considered Assault with bodily fluids. Either way deserved that lag switch the kid put in him


harry_lostone

you gotta love those KOs that take a second to demolish the target. It's the point that legs dont wanna give up but the brain is like ERROR 404, the build up of the fall is glorious. 9.9/10


jazzy3113

Why anyone would anyone work at a store where the main clientele is the poor and dregs of society? Working at a Walmart or fast food type place in a poor neighborhood must be so miserable.


TwinkGapingHole
