00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the infamous moments where
00:11 Karens and Kens, the most entitled and rudest folks, showcase their terrible behavior at
00:17 Walmart stores only to get some delicious consequences.
00:29 Changing Room Racism Captured on a video released in 2018, an older
00:34 Walmart employee's terrible behavior drew the ire of the public.
00:38 It all came about because a customer wearing Islamic attire approached the employee seeking
00:42 an available changing room.
00:47 This seemingly innocent request annoyed the employee for some reason, so the Karen informed
00:52 her she could "just use a dirty one."
00:55 Then she loudly told a co-worker, "They think they own us."
01:00 The Karen then attempted to creepily look under the door.
01:08 Walmart commented on the horrendous Islamophobia and stated that the employee was no longer
01:13 with the company.
01:15 Threatening Social Media Some Karens think they can film themselves
01:19 making vile threats online without suffering any consequences.
01:22 Well, unfortunately for Sydney Angela Holder and Emily Elizabeth Cornett, that isn't the
01:28 case.
01:29 In 2022, the two filmed a short social media video in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
01:34 In it, Holder showcased a firearm concealed in her boots, uttered slurs, and threatened
01:39 to use the weapon on black people in Walmart.
01:42 All while Cornett laughed.
01:45 Shortly after uploading the content, classmates approached the police to let them know who
01:49 the culprits were.
01:50 Holder and Cornett were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
01:54 On top of this, Shelton State Community College expelled the duo for their terrible threats.
02:00 Racist Licenses In 2020, shoppers leaving a Walmart in Manitowoc,
02:05 Wisconsin found fake hunting licenses for attacking black people had been placed under
02:10 their vehicle's windscreens.
02:12 Complete with slurs, of course.
02:15 Unfortunately for Kathleen Yauk, it didn't take long for security footage to identify
02:18 her as the culprit behind the notes.
02:20 She was recognized by an employee after she stole from the store previously.
02:24 After Yauk was arrested, she was charged with making threats as a hate crime and bail jumping.
02:29 Due to a plea deal on reduced charges, in 2023, Yauk was sentenced to 90 days in jail,
02:35 three years of probation, and 50 hours of community service, and was made to write apology
02:39 letters to victims.
02:42 Trump Chant According to Benin Almusawi, she and her friend
02:46 went into the changing rooms at a Walmart in Dearborn, Michigan one night in 2018.
02:51 The room should have been closed as it was past 10pm, but there was no sign stating that.
03:01 This sparked an argument between the shoppers and a worker.
03:03 The employee allegedly chanted Donald Trump's name repeatedly at the duo.
03:11 When asked why she was doing that by Almusawi, the worker used anti-Arabian insults and slurs.
03:17 However, Almusawi's friend also threw in some racial slurs at the employee.
03:22 It was a mess.
03:24 After the video went onto social media, Walmart fired the worker for her behavior.
03:33 Cart Attack In 2023, while battling cancer, Janiece Lambert
03:37 went to Walmart with her two grandchildren in the colony, Texas.
03:41 As she was picking up some grapes, she was struck by a shopping cart driven by Frances
03:45 Clark, injuring her leg and hip.
03:55 The shopping Karen told Lambert she shouldn't be there and her grandchildren are supposedly
03:59 hoarding the fruits.
04:01 Lambert believes the unprovoked attack was triggered by the color of her skin.
04:05 I think that she should understand that there's consequences and that she should not be allowed
04:11 to do this again.
04:12 Even when Lambert tried to get away, Clark stalked the family around the store.
04:16 In the end, the cops arrived and Clark was arrested and charged with assault against
04:21 an elderly or disabled person.
04:23 The biggest hurt is at my grands.
04:25 I have to see that.
04:26 I mean, we have to live in a world now that they've been exposed to hate.
04:32 O'Neal's Accusation In the modern age, video evidence can be
04:35 super important in settling disputes.
04:38 In 2021, Antonita O'Neal was using the self-checkout at her local Walmart in Coleraine, Ohio.
04:49 But then a Karen employee popped up and accused O'Neal of stealing, seemingly believing the
04:54 customer wasn't scanning every item.
05:01 Well she was, as security and management later saw on the CCTV.
05:05 O'Neal, who was black and believed she was being racially profiled, managed to record
05:10 part of the event on her phone and uploaded it to social media.
05:18 Angry viewers formed a protest soon afterward.
05:21 Walmart announced that they had fired the employee, however, it wasn't for racial profiling,
05:25 but for not following procedure.
05:32 More Walmart Profiling In 2022, a customer who didn't want to be
05:37 identified was leaving a Walmart in Moreno Valley, California with a shopping cart of
05:41 goods.
05:42 However, she was stopped by an unidentified employee who decided to do some racial profiling
05:47 to check whether the customer paid.
05:49 Before he could grab his receipt, the venomous worker allegedly told him, "You people always
05:54 trying to steal."
05:58 Then while uttering several slurs, the Ken worker grabbed items from the cart to take
06:03 back, just assuming they were pinched due to the color of his skin.
06:07 Another yikes!
06:16 Once the footage of the interaction got out, Walmart justly fired the terrible worker.
06:21 Triple Threats Usually, Kens and Karens specialize in one
06:25 form of terrible behavior.
06:31 But not Daniel Scanlon, who went with a trifecta of hostility at a Walmart in Boca Raton, Florida
06:36 in 2023, with theft, anti-Semitism, and assault.
06:41 First, he struck an older Jewish man from behind, grabbed his yarmulke, spat on it,
06:47 threw it to the ground, used a slur, and then hit him again.
06:50 When another woman tried to intervene, Scanlon took her phone and knocked her to the ground.
06:55 He then threw the phone onto the floor before he left.
06:58 Scanlon was soon arrested and charged with robbery and battery on a person over 65 years
07:02 of age.
07:03 However, it could be reclassified as a hate crime.
07:07 Ignorant in Walmarts In 2017, Ava Hicks needed to grab some medicine
07:13 from an aisle at a Walmart in Centerton, Arkansas.
07:15 However, a woman was standing in the way with her cart, so Hicks asked her nicely to move.
07:26 It should have been easy, right?
07:28 Apparently not.
07:32 The red racist mist covered the Karens' eyes.
07:35 After ranting about being asked to move constantly by other customers, the Karen told Hicks to
07:40 go back to Mexico.
07:42 When a passerby yelled she was being ignorant, Karen spat out a slur.
07:54 Then the store manager came over and told the Karen to leave for her horrid tirade.
07:58 In the aftermath, Walmart publicly banned the grim woman from entering any of their
08:03 stores.
08:25 Mother Son Tag Team In 2015, Navy veteran Rebecca Mills, who
08:30 had fibromyalgia and substance use disorder, was using her scooter in a Walmart in Beech
08:35 Grove, Indiana.
08:36 After Mills argued with an employee over blocking the way as they stocked the shelves, Amber
08:41 Stevenson confronted her, and they began fighting.
08:48 Later Stevenson claimed Mills used a slur against the worker.
08:51 However, the employee disagreed.
08:53 Regardless, Mills and Stevenson infamously came to blows in the aisle.
08:58 Shockingly, Stevenson even encouraged her young son to attack Mills.
09:02 In 2017, Stevenson was sentenced for neglect and received a year of probation and 30 hours
09:07 of community service.
09:09 Mills received a suspended jail sentence of 180 days and 40 hours of community service.
09:15 And she later turned her life around.
09:17 For a dabble of something positive, what's the most uplifting thing you've ever seen
09:22 at a Walmart store?
09:28 Let us know in the comments.
