First, write down EVERYTHING.

You did a good job here, but if you remember anything else, write it down, with the time and discriptions as accurately as you can. Also have your wife write down EVERTHING she witnessed as a separate report.

Did you get the names of any of the witnesses that are not store employees?

Second. I would call the head office of Wal-Mart in Bentonville Arkansas and file a formal complaint, first thing tomorrow. Go to the very top. Do not dink around with mid-level managers.

I would even consider getting an attorney evolved, maybe the same attorney that is handling the airline mistreatment cases. Reason, I would guess the store has some sort of video surveillance; and has part or the entire encounter on tape. You probably would need an attorney to get access to it. You could be a very wealthy doggie soon.

What the heck is going on in this sick world?

I would love to have the store security footage of this. It was just so surreal.

I didn't get the name of the witness. I wish I would have.

I was thinking of Tales from Retail but I think that is for employees to complain about customers.

The worst part was I let a woman get beaten and didn't do anything to stop it.

Sounds like there wasn't really anything you could have done unless you wanted to get into a physical confrontation with not only the guy going after his girl but the security guard. I hope your filing charges and make a complaint to the highest person at Walmart you can contact because the whole situation is fucked and how they treated you afterwords is just insane.

You can now. Call the Portland police and report the fight at walmart and what you saw. They won't do shit but your conscious will be clear

EL PRESIDENTE · Apr 29, 2017

Print a shitload of the photos and put on their bulletin board or whatever. Or leave in the parking lot.

This just happened barely an hour ago.

So my stepdaughter called because her husband was away from home asking if we could either watch her cute as heck newborn daughter or go to the store for her and pick up some things. I needed to pick up some synthetic oil for the car so Mrs Poker Dog and I said we would go to the store for her and the closest store to her was the Walmart on 82nd ave. I can't remember the last time I was in a Walmart but the 82nd ave one is always a bit of a trip.

We had just about finished our shopping and were in the soda isle looking for root beer when I guy comes around the corner and right up to me saying that there is a man and woman fighting in the meat department. Now I was wearing a bright blue Adidas sweatshirt so the only thing I can figure is that the guy saw blue and assumed I was a Walmart employee. I leave Mrs Poker Dog and go around the corner to the meat department to see what was going on.

Sure enough this, I would guess mid 50s man and woman are fighting in the store, the man is hitting hard with his fist and she is hitting him back, punch.. punch... yell... yell... she steps away from him and he follows her yelling, she yells back and he punches her. There were about 4 or 5 other couples/groups of people watching this. All of us looking at the couple fighting and each other not sure what to do. What made me not play the hero is the guy punching the woman had his buddy with him. The buddy is 6'5, 200+ lbs long haired biker looking MF'er and he's just standing there letting his friend friend hit the woman while glaring at everyone as we all stand there watching this. This is a bad situation, you try to play hero in a domestic violence situation and it could end up with of three of these losers trying to beat you up.

So anyway I'm scanning all around looking for a Walmart employee, security, anything to save this woman but I decide I ain't getting involved unless it really gets ugly. I can't see anyone from Walmart and the man starts hitting the woman again, so I do the brave thing I push past those large rubber swinging doors that lead back into the inner bowels of the meat department looking for an employee. "Hello? Hello? Is anyone here?" No one is in the meat department but that's when I see a store phone on the wall so I run over to it and push the button marked customer service. Busy. Push it again, busy. I hear more yelling, realize that Mrs Poker Dog is out there so I hang up and head back out to the store.

Now they had pushed, screamed and shoved their way to the bakery department. It's ugly. The woman is trying get out of the store and away from the guy and his biker buddy. I'm still looking for a Walmart employee. I finally see one behind the bakery counter. I go up to here and ask her to call security. She's been watching all of this go down and she points to the biker looking dude and goes, "that is security!"

What the fuck?!?

About this time the woman finally runs out of the store with the man running after her. Biker dude stops following. I think this is all complete BS so I take my phone out of my pocket and hold it up to take a picture just as biker dude turns around and sees me holding my phone up. He yells, "you can't take my picture!' So I drop my arm down and take a lovely picture of the floor. He comes up to me, "why are you taking my picture? " He was hitting her and you didn't do anything!" He glares at me and yells, "you can't take my picture!" as he walks past me to a group of Walmart employees that had gathered down at the middle of the meat department. I'm like fuck this so I raise my hand up and take a picture of the back of him as he stomps his way to the group of Walmart employees. As soon as I do this one of the employees yell "you can't take our picture!" so I take of all of them. The employee yells again, "you can't take our picture!" I turn around and walk with Mrs Poker Dog to finish our shopping.

We reach the produce department when suddenly we are surrounded by 5 Walmart employees. All yelling with the one guy who was yelling gets right up in my face, I mean there wasn't more than a half inch separating us. He's enraged, fists clenched, yelling at me that I can't take their pictures, says I have to give him my phone and leave the store or I will be arrested. Now this guy is early 20s in a Walmart uniform but no name tag and he's still in my face. Finally a manager comes up and she wants to know why I'm taking pictures of employees. As soon as I start to tell her about the fight she recoils back like she was shot and wipes her face like I spit in it. Which I totally didn't. But angry kid steps up like he's going to swing.

My mind is racing but I ain't no dummy, I know what's up, their going to claim I assaulted them and use that as a reason to kick my ass. This is getting strange really fast. Mrs Poker Dog is standing there next to me and immediately said, "he didn't spit on you!" That's when I noticed a couple behind the manager who was also there when the man and woman were fighting, he speaks up, telling there manager that I didn't spit on her. I mean it was such an obvious fake reaction and everyone spontaneously saw through it. The manager immediately said, " I didn't say he did!"

The manager tells the employee still in my face to leave, he refuses, "he can't take pictures of us." She finally pushes him away and tells him to leave. He steps back but doesn't leave. Manager, "you can take pictures inside of the store." I laugh. "Why are you taking pictures?" "Because your employee was just standing there watching a manbeat the hell out of a woman." "He's undercover, you can't take his picture." "I can take his picture if I want." "You need to delete them, failure to do so will result in charges." Man behind manager, "That was wrong, your employee didn't do anything." Manager to me, "what did you do? You call the police?" Me, "I looked for an employee and when I didn't see one I tried to call customer service."

Suddenly anger Walmart employee charges me, getting back in my face. She pushes him away and tells him to leave.

Then this strange conversation occurs between me and the manager, If I wouldn't do anything why should they, and if I was afraid to call the police why would I take their picture? I calmly explained over and over that I did try to do something, I looked for an employee and when I didn't see one I tried to use a store phone to call security. That's when I caught something out of the corner of my eye, I whip around and enraged Walmart employee is coming up behind me to tackle or grab me. "What the hell?!" I step back, and he is back up in my face screaming at me that I can't take their picture. Manager again as to physically push him away from me.

Manager starts back up again with me being afraid to call the police, the implication is clear, that I have warrants or for some reason I am wanted by the police, lol. She tells me that I have to either give up my phone or delete the pictures from it. I laugh and tell her to call the police. That's when enraged Walmart employee charges into the middle of this again. He's yelling, screaming at me about these damn pictures and this time he looks like he's ready to hit me. Manager is trying to push him back and I look at him like he's nuts, he's yelling at me to follow him out to the parking lot. Me, "What, you want to hit me? You're going to beat me up?" Him, "Let's go! Let's go!" Store manager finally pushes him back.

She tells me that they will file charges if I release the pictures. The rest of the employees surrounding us all mouth off, warning us not to take anymore pictures. Mrs Poker Dog at this point has had enough and tells them them all to back off. Oops that's when I notice that she's been watching this punk continually threaten me and she's had enough of this BS. I grab her,the cart and walk off to a register to checkout and pay.

We wait and that's when I notice that the manager and 3 employees are standing directly behind us in line and talking in hushed tones, she's on her walkie talkie thing, I look around, biker buddy and some other scumbag looking dude is at one exit and finally some clearly marked store security is at the other exit.

I quickly grab my phone and upload the pics to the cloud but start laughing when I look at them. They're all shitty pics, you can't tell who anyone is in them. I lock my phone, hand it to Mrs Poker Dog because I know I ain't getting out of that store. We pay and start to walk to the exit with biker dude and his buddy, I look at him not threatening but determined, I'm just as big as he is (6'4, 250lbs) I ain't done a damn thing wrong, and I ain't afraid of him. Mrs Poker Dog asks the dude at the door if he wants to look at our receipt, hahahahaha!

And finally Walmart decides to not make this ridiculous situation worse and lets us leave with our purchases.

tl/dr: See guy beating woman in Walmart, take picture of "undercover" security get detained and threatened with being beat up and arrested.

The moral of this story: Never where a blue shirt to Walmart

JFizzleRaider · Apr 29, 2017

My first thought was you couldn't find any employees because they were in the security room watching it on camera with popcorn in hand.

Smart not to get involved, definitely could unite them and then it's 3v1 like you said.

Wow and then employees turn on you and they've been watching all along!?! That's fucked up, I guess domestic abuse is white trash entertainment?

Honestly did you ever weigh the value of pissing them off to get your ass kicked and then suing Walmart? I'm not down with all the happy go lucky lawsuits that happen in this country, but I also really don't like Walmart and I'm pretty sure if you got gang beaten by their employees you would have a definite lawsuit on your hands + your medical bills covered. I know that all sounds crazy, but did it ever cross your mind?

Or you could have just done this

SlyPokerDog · Apr 29, 2017

I looked on the PPD website and it says since it involves domestic violence I can't file an online report. Mrs Poker Dog says I should wait until morning before I call the non-emergency number and ask if I can file an online report. Calling up the PPD at 11:30pm with this strange story might be a little much. After I file a report I will then call Walmart corporate.

Walmart was so confrontational and trying to provoke or escalate this into a physical confrontation I think that filling a police report, even if they end up determining that no crime was committed, is the correct decision.
