Walmart Customer Goes Viral For Complaining About Shopping Her Curbside Order After Employee Walkout

A Walmart curbside pickup turned into a full-blown viral argument, because one woman decided her biggest problem was not the chaos, but the fact that she had to shop her own order. In the video, she and her daughter are filming themselves walking the aisles, clearly annoyed, clearly determined to make sure everyone online understood how inconvenient it all felt.

The twist is that the whole situation started after a Walmart-staged walkout left no one available to fulfill curbside pickups. So instead of an employee bringing the items out, the mom and daughter had to do it themselves, and they kept going back and forth on how unfair and frustrating it was. Meanwhile, thousands of commenters piled in, and they were not exactly gentle.

What she expected was sympathy, but what she got was a comment section that basically said, “Not the workers, though. Here’s what’s really been happening.”

Some people jumped in to say that the Thanksgiving week really overwhelmed them and it was extremely busy.

People came in hot with the comments, but they weren't exactly the responses she thought she'd receive.

The comments were quite funny, and people really had a lot to say.

i just don't care

Most comments were extremely sarcastic, which wasn't the response she was probably expecting.

It's definitely not the workers' fault, and honestly, we can't blame them for reacting that way.

Taylor Worsham

Walmart employees spoke out about their business and how busy they've been since Thanksgiving.

It seems that many people made a point to let her know that it's not the workers' fault and that they have been absolutely overwhelmed since Thanksgiving.

Madison

People really commended her for doing her own shopping.

Some comments expressed a bit of sympathy for her, but most comments reflected the understanding that it's more often the higher-ups creating problems than the workers themselves.

The mom and daughter start filming their “we had to shop this ourselves” moment, and the internet instantly clocks the details of the staged walkout that caused it.

It’s a bit like refusing to cover a friend’s concert ticket after her luxury shopping spree.

As the Thanksgiving week rush gets mentioned in the replies, the story stops being a simple complaint and turns into a “why this is happening right now” situation.

When commenters come in hot with sarcasm, they also keep repeating the same point, it’s not the workers' fault, it’s the setup.

Even the people who feel a little bad for her end up focusing on one thing, the higher-ups created the mess, not the employees who were overwhelmed.

After reading this and viewing the clips, we definitely think that it could be frustrating to have to shop for your own curbside order, but it's also important to recognize that it's not the workers' fault. Ultimately, it's the fault of big business, and the walkout was probably necessary.

Nobody wants to get stuck shopping their own curbside order, especially when the walkout was the whole reason it happened.
