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.

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.

Maybe the boomers should have thought about that before they elected Ronald Reagan, then they'd have old-age pensions like literally every civilised country in the entire world. They sold our future for the instant gratification of baby-blue Cadillacs and root beer floats, I have literally no sympathy that some of them actually get a brief taste of the consequences of their actions for the few short years before they shuffle off this mortal coil and leave us and our children and our children's children paying their selfish debts and cleaning up their selfish messes.

Imagine your father doing such a bad job of raising you that you let him work a minimum wage job when he's 72

 

[mindlessobserver]

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.

You ever been to a target? White as rice. That and nobody really knows why they go to Target in the first place. I think the Bullseye is actually a hypnotic device.

Selfish debts and messes? Like keeping a roof over our heads, raising four children, struggling to give them a better life, sending them to college, helping them get started with their careers and lives, helping with grandchildren. Yeah, I'm absolutely a selfish bastard and deserved to be fucked in the ass by poverty at my age. Fuck you.

I'm glad to see some genuine respect for the men and women of yore popping up around here. Personally I'm in my late 20's and I kinda hate everyone my own age, all my friend's are shriveled old coots with war stories who worked their fingers to the bones so that the entitled brats who are complaining about them today could have a bright future.

You think you have it hard? Try being born with polio in the Alabama hills, a lot of times instead of going to school you had to stay home and pick cotton just so the family could make ends meat.

You work your way from the bottom in the trucking business and finally make it big, get married a few times and buy a nice big house and a few rentals on the side to give you something to do in your spare time. Meanwhile you give back to the community through charity work thanks in part to your business and even adopt a kid so that he doesn't have to work as hard as you did to be happy in life.

What's so wrong with that?

It was only a few years ago that the Mexican Supreme Government ruled it illegal for Walmart to pay their workers with store vouchers. Seriously, company scrip. WTF, that's the kind of thing my great-grandparents had to put up with.

You sound like my grandfather, only he wasn't a Boomer.

 

[Plunkie]

how dare he take the one job i have qualifications for, sitting and waving at people

fuck boomers

 

[Corbin Dallas Multipass]

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.

Is that what's wrong with you?

Lol no one works at Walmart for fun, it's a job you end up in

Anyway I hope he's okay

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.

I can confirm that the 5 years experience for an entry level meme is already a reality. And it was like 5 years ago that this happened too actually, I was applying for a job at Wendys for a minimum wage. On the part where it says to write your job history on the application I left that part blank. When the Wendys manager was interviewing me for the job, she asked me why I was in my mid 20s with no job history at all. I told her it was because no one would hire me. She said something like, "Well you should have had at least some job experience by your age" I just flipped the fuck out and I screamed, "FUCK THAT!" and I went off on her and i was screaming at her and everyone in the restaurant started looking at me. I then stormed out. Never have got a job either. im 31

And even if it is for fun, it’s not their responsibility to make jobs for youngfags.

This is probably me in the future.

Job 1: Get pissed at douchebag workers two weeks in and quit without advance notice

Job 2: Go on screaming tirade at other employee because my pay was late by a month, quit

Lol. That totally is me, except only married once, different blue collar trajectory, one kid, only fostered, and picked tobacco as a kid.

So really, nothing the same whatsoever, but the gist is the same.

Gen Xers sometimes have their shit together, but it baffles me what kind of kids parents have been raising for the last thirty plus years. You want to be successful? Go do it. There is plenty of opportunity out there. Yeah, you might have to do some back breaking labour for twelve hours a day for the next five years, but then you've solidified you bona fides and no one questions your competence, work ethic, or value.

Maybe it's an instant gratification thing, or maybe it's something narcissistic, but there are tons of ways to be happy and successful out there. I guess there are so many people who think it's below them. A new intellectual bourgeoisie.

I never understood the direction this thread gotten from. First it was "blackie punches an old Gupta dude" and then it turned into "THAT OLD FUCK DESERVED IT".

 

[neverendingmidi]

I'm pasty as fuck and been stopped by these guys when walking out. Now I could understand it when I was buying a 40" flatscreen, okay yeah you want to see the receipt, but when I bought $10 of stuff from the self-checkout, RIGHT NEXT TO YOU, I wanted to say "Seriously? Are you joking?"

 

[QI 541]

Imagine being so old that you actually believe that you'll be rewarded for hard work and loyalty and not just discarded as soon as they can replace you with a third world undocumented immigrant willing to work for a quarter of your pay the first chance they get in this day and age.

This guy gets it. Boomerfags and older are so out of touch with what the modern working world is like they might as well be from a parallel universe.
