A former Walmart employee is finally sharing his unfiltered thoughts, Daily Dot reports. Kae, who posts on TikTok under the handle @lolxdlolxdlolxd23455, recently lost his job at the store, and he is now using his newfound freedom to detail the chaotic reality of working on the floor. His video has already racked up over 400,800 views and nearly 600 comments, proving that plenty of people are fascinated by the behind-the-scenes madness of big-box retail.
If you have ever worked in a store, you know that customers can be a handful, but Kae describes a level of entitlement that sounds exhausting. While he was busy stocking shelves or marking down items, customers would frequently swoop in and grab products directly off his cart. It caused a massive headache for the checkout process, and the behavior reached a breaking point when one customer demanded that he ring up her entire purchase right there in the middle of the aisle.
The store environment sounds just as rough when it comes to hygiene. Kae mentions that the restrooms were often left in states that he would rather not describe in detail, though he admits he found plenty of unflushed toilets during his shifts. It is honestly pretty gross to imagine having to deal with that while you are just trying to get through your workday.

Things got even worse when it came to the store’s policy on animals. Kae claims that people would frequently bring pets into the store while falsely claiming they were service dogs. These animals were often untrained and would leave messes throughout the aisles.
In one particularly nightmare-inducing story, a woman brought in a pack of chihuahuas that defecated on the floor. Kae ended up stepping in the mess without realizing it and spent the rest of his shift unknowingly tracking it across the store.
The reaction on TikTok has been wild, with the comment section turning into a support group for current and former retail workers. It is clear that Kae is not the only one dealing with bizarre behavior from the public, besides the quality control issues present in some of the products in the store. One user commented, “Walmart is everyone’s first stop right after they’re born.” Another person wrote, “HELLO?! I’M SCARED.”
The stories from fellow employees are just as intense. One former checkout associate shared a particularly jarring account, saying, “I’m glad you’re posting about this because I just quit at the same Walmart you’re at because every day was so effing ridiculous like for real a fever dream every shift lmaoo. I was a checkout associate and a guy fully sht on the floor in my line one time like it came out of his shorts like an hour into my shift I was so done.”
It is honestly wild to see how many people have their own stories about the strange ways people act in public. Some commenters expressed disbelief at the behavior, noting that they try their best to be respectful when shopping. One person wrote, “Genuinely forget people act like actual amoebas out in the world and it’s not just an online persona.”
Another added, “Idk how people can be so crazy in public. When I go shopping, I do everything I can to avoid bugging the employees and/or anyone in general. Like if I need help, I genuinely take the L and move on. Honestly, being fired sounds like a blessing boo. You don’t need any negativity killing your vibe bigger things are most definitely coming.”
These claims remain based solely on Kae’s account, and the comments under their TikTok video.
