Walmart greeter attacked.

[Lefty-Canuck]

Not defending this by any stretch but I saw this today about the situation,

“Ok folks just quit it with this rant and listen up😡

I live work and shop where this happened.
It is NOT cool that this happened.
It is not the whole story though and only a snippet of the truth was blasted by someone to rock the “Covid” boat then deleted they’re account.

The incident in question happened because of a whole bunch of flaws.

First off the Walmart greeter is a special needs person who the Walmart managers put in charge of handing out masks. Their policy is no mask no entrance. He either decided or was told by management to stop anyone from entering that didn’t have a mask. Where we live it hasn’t been enforced heavily and people up until a few days ago were allowed in most stores to shop without a mask on by choice. Some do and some don’t.
The man and his girlfriend entered the store which DOES NOT have any security guards like all the other cities do and proceeded to walk towards the kiosk where our Walmart gives you a free disposable mask to wear while you shop. The greeter proceeded to stop the girl from entering any further into the store even though she was heading for the masks, was loud, forceful and rude and when she verbally stood up for herself he put his hand on her to physically stop her from going in any further, to which her boyfriend lost his **** and pummelled him for physically touching his girlfriend in a dispute.
Now this is where we all have an opinion and can point blame.
Walmart should never have placed that kind of responsibility on ANY person knowing the gravity of people’s uprising anger to this Covid situation.
Walmart should have paid for a security guard to enforce there policy at the door.
Did the man have the right to physically assault the greeter?
**** NO!!!
He went way too far.
Did the greeter have the right to physically touch the woman?
**** NO AGAIN!!
So the blame lies in all directions people not just the short click bait video the rest of the world got to see.
You’ve been played by people adding fuel to the fire and dividing us again.
As for no one jumping in to help the greeter. I’m 6’2 250lbs and a force to be recon’d with and I wouldn’t mess with this guy.
So the smaller people you see standing around were probably scared and if you look closely he hits him then he yells at him. He’s telling him not to touch her again and keep his hands to himself.
So take a big look again at the WHOLE story and wait to hear what the courts decide because there are assault charges pending on both sides and Walmart is also being held accountable for their neglect.

Question everything people otherwise you are just sheep going to the slaughter.”

Bah more crap. The guy writing that on Facebook clearly knows the perp. And lighting a guy up on the floor cause he touched your GF screams of roid rage.

They will have their day in court no doubt. But all I see is a guy throwing hard on a guy on the floor. And all I have is my opinion. Bahhhhh bahh bahhh

Pretty much, there's no way a hand on the shoulder warrants that level of force. The level of force that he dished out compared to what the greeter displayed was unacceptable. If he was then received as much of an overreaction as what he displayed, his remains would have been getting cleaned up off the floor.

Regardless of his reasons, the guy went way beyond what was reasonable, and he deserves a criminal record, and to pay a cash payout resulting from a lawsuit.

That being said, it was asinine to put a special needs person in a situation where he might end up in a confrontation, because he might have issues communicating effectively.

x10 .Wal- Mart wants to tell people who are mentally challenge to enforce stuff, there at fault also,hope a good lawyer reaches out to help this guy.My wallets open all day long for this guy.

AS for the guy not to mess with ,he's just a coward who's belly is over feed and his brain is suffering from mal nutrition . Nothing scary about cowards or bullies.

If walmart wants enforcement, they should call cops for attendance and enforcement. And when the cops dont show, you will soon understand that the enforcement part of these "mandatory" rules is really just BS......

Far as I know stores in general are private property.
Dont like their rules dont shop there.
Pretty simple it would seem.

It is not a Walmart policy. As of the previous Friday all indoor retail spaces in BC required masks. No exceptions. It was made pretty clear on the radio, tv, online, newspapers, etc. And every store has signs up. The only reason it wasn't enforced earlier was the policy was only mandated around Vancouver. But it was expanded to Province wide the previous weekend. They were not allowed in the store with out a mask. It pretty simple.

As for the rest of the stuff the guy wrote; a guy touches your girlfriend (clearly says does not hit her or anything, just stops her from entering the store) and that is justification for bouncing his head of the concrete with your fists and kicking him in the testicles? This is what society has become?

the part about being afraid of him... That says more about the person who wrote that the coward who stacked the greeter.

My Wife works at a Walmart Superstore and I told her about this incident. She told me that the policy in her store was very clear to her. Customers are to be informed that they need to wear a mask and if they refuse the employees are to do nothing. They are to allow them to enter and do as they please. I suspect that corporate HQ or management made that policy in order to avoid situations like this one. It doesn’t sound like Policy was followed in this case and it lead to the altercation.

I feel you're so eager to disagree with me Bob you sometimes don't know what you're even arguing. Weatherby was saying if a customer doesn't like the rules/policy of a store, that customer shouldn't shop there. Don't like a stores mask policy, don't shop there, don't like MEC firearm stance, don't shop there, etc. Your link is about a stores right to refuse service, a completely different thing.

The greeter was a special needs person, so did he really understand the policy?

I hope her thoughts were in line of "holy crap what will happen to me if I upset him"?

None of what you present is changing anyone's mind. I am rather excited to see the payday that the greeter receives. Perhaps he can buy the man that assaulted him a proper pair of pants.

What a loser.

What a loser.

I'm thinking the same. This greeter will have a case against his employer for putting him in that position and the guy who beat the snot out of him. Hopefully he gets a sweet settlement. And maybe each judge will allow him one swift kick to the groin of the body builder fool.

- preventing violence and harassment in the workplace
- informing your workers of all the health and safety hazards at the job site
-setting up safe work practices and ensuring these practices are followed
-providing safety equipment and training
-properly labeling and storing dangerous chemicals
-investigating serious injuries and incidents
- investigating potentially serious incidents (PSI)
-working with the health and safety committee or representative
- meeting OHS and Employment Standards Code requirements
