A 72-year-old greeter at a Walmart store in Texas says he was punched in the face and knocked unconscious – just for doing his job.

It happened last Friday at a Walmart location in Cypress, northwest of Houston, according to KTRK-TV.

The greeter, Mohinder Randhawa, told the station he just wanted to check that a customer had paid for a case of Gatorade being carried out of the store.

That’s when the suspect, identified as Craig Valentine, 42, of Hockley, got angry, started yelling, and then cold-cocked him, Randhawa said.

"He punched on my face with a closed right hand," Randhawa told KTRK. "I fell down on the ground.

"My left upper lip was broken from here, blood started out, and inside also there was a cut about half an inch," he continued.

Randhawa claims he never accused the suspect of stealing the drinks. He said cashiers sometimes miss an item while scanning a customer’s purchases and he just wanted to check.

“I was doing my duty, the greeter explained. “I was doing what I was supposed to do.”

A probable-cause affidavit says Valentine “chest bumped” the greeter before punching him, Cox Media Group reported. He posted $1,000 bail and was released pending further court action.

Obviously fuck this dumbass ghetto motherfucker for punching an old-ass man.

But can we all just take a second to pissed off at Wal-Mart. It already was pissing me off that I have to fucking stand in a second line AFTER I pay for my shit, even though the greeter has literally watched me pay for my shit. However, this article gave me a big-brained thinking thought: Why the fuck is Wal-Mart endangering thiese under-qualified, more often than not, elderly employees? If you are literally going to stop people going out the door to make sure everything is not stolen, why are you not hiring an actual security guard? Oh because it's Wal-Mart and they can do whatever they want.

Hell even the shitty international store I go to can afford a fucking security guard at the door.

He's six years past retirement age and taking up a minimum wage entry-level job that could go to somebody who genuinely needs it because he's lonely and bored. Boomers really are a generation of entitled pieces of shit. It's bad enough they mortgaged our future with their Cadillacs and nuclear power plants, they're still actively trying to sabotage millennials because they can't figure out any other way to entertain themselves.

No sympathy whatsoever.

He probably called him a nigger so he deserved to be punched

I wouldn't go that far but it's pretty clear he was acting with obvious racial bias.

What is it about Walmart that makes it the epicenter of petty crime? I never hear about people doing this sort of shit at Target.

They want people who look unassuming and vulnerable, and entry-level jobs are starting to up their standards because of how many people need them.
The "5 years experience for an entry-level position" meme is becoming reality very quickly.

Walmart has just about everything and their stores are massive enough that if you wanted to grab and dash it's possible. Target is small and deserted so you're usually suspicious for even going there in the first place.

It's already a reality and it's because boomers are entitled joyless pieces of shit who refuse to get out of the way and enjoy their retirement in peace like every generation before them.

Takes a special kind of stupid to attack the elderly.

He probably gets a slap on the wrist, because the old white male deserves it, just because he is an old white male.

To be fair, the articles in this forum are selected by its members. Nonetheless 13%/50%, and all that.

It's not racist if it's true.

True! But i have to admit that People of Walmart, is one of my quilty pleasures.

Yeah, but target just can't seem to keep from being hacked or leaking customer information and is expensive which really isn't even better. Also the whole troon bathroom debacle.

Wal-Mart greeters do not have the authority to stop you. Just ignore them.

Or knock them on their ass; if you're working a fake job at 72, we should have euthanized you long ago.

Just don't wait to get caught stealing first; it muddies the water.

I don't care if you two or trolling, but I feel it's worth noting that a lot of these old people aren't just take the job for 'funsies' it's because they can't afford to live otherwise. People in the US don't really take care of their elderly like people have done traditionally, and social security and "retirement" generally aren't really enough to cover the rest of your life after 65 (or 67 whatever they raised the retirement aged to). So yeah, keep talking shit about old people, but it's likely going to be worse off than it is now when we get there ourselves friends.

 

[Sped Xing]

I didn't think he took the job for funsies. I thought the was a failure who didn't even have a family that valued him enough to feed him.
