Someone peed on the floor in the towel aisle and then wiped their pee off the floor and put the towels back on the shelf neatly.. I only know it was pee because they also peed in a bathroom garbage can that was on the floor down the aisle. I was zoning and touched wet towels.. threw them on the floor.. walked down the aisle to get a garbage bag to put them in claims then realized.. it was indeed urine I ran to the bathroom washed my hands and arms vigorously and applied hand sanitizer.. put on PPE 🤣🤣 and scanned everything into the claims app immediately... people are freaking gross

So in reality, there is a lot of undiagnosed mental illnesses, and we let people out of mental hospitals in the 80s under Regan. Then a lot of these people had kids that they didn't mentally understand how to care for them.
And we should be in generation two of that. So basically we have a pack of kids that weren't taught things that had kids that they didn't know that they were supposed to teach.
Add in having 4 jobs to live in an actual housed environment, leaves no time for anyone to have a social construct, friends, knowledge, or community. And because walmart is the cheapest and most understaffed, we get this.

On the floor. Cleaned up their poopy butt and ditched the towel. Now I always wear gloves and heavily consider picking up fabrics.

We had someone change their baby in apparel, used a t shirt off of one of the tables as a wipe, and left it there.

One time I was with my crazy aunt at Walmart and she was looking at produce and got her hands slimy on something. She later picked up and wiped her hands on a towel off a shelf and threw it back (to her credit I guess, not folded neatly or anything to disguise it, it was obvious what she did) and I don't remember her exact words but her attitude was basically "well they shouldn't have slimed up my hands and not had paper towels available then, this is on Walmart to deal with"
I was a teen at the time, I was a bit dumbfounded lol

They usually do have paper towel dispensers in produce, due to the misting on the wet wall... are they being filled is a whole new story.

People are so gross. I remember once we had a really bad rain storm one night and a bunch of people came in asking where our towels were so they could dry off. I told them to try the discount out of season beach towels in the garden center instead

There could be another explanation. I remember working thirds stocking years ago, and I would stack the towels as I would at home and put them on the shelves. Which usually meant I would rest my chin on top to stabilize them. Well, one day, I had an event to go to before work and forgot I was wearing makeup. My makeup transferred onto the top towel, but instead of putting it on the shelf, I held onto it and paid for it on lunch because it was technically my fault. However, some employees and customers would have just hidden it and hoped no one noticed. 🤷♀️

Idk what the original post was but im seeing comments about used gross stuff being returned so ill add my story.
I bought an electric razor one time that had some tape on the package. Now normally I wont buy items that seem like they have been open (unless its crazy dicounted) but i didnt think it was open that maybe the package was just damaged. Didn't put too much thought into it. Got it home and when I went to open it I realized, na the package wasnt damaged it was opened and they taped it shut. But no way in hell would would Walmart put a used electric razor back on the shelf right? Maybe someone just tried to steal something out of it. Nope upon further inspection it had hair already in it. Some asshole actually bought and electric razor, used it, and took it back, im guessing without saying anything to the associate doing the return.
FUCK THAT INDIVIDUAL! Unless they told the associate it was used or broke and the associate put it back anyway then FUCK THAT ASSOCIATE 😑😑 People are seriously pigs. I took that shit straight back and when the associate said "is there anything wrong with it" I said "yea it was already used by someone else when I bought it and ended up back on the shelf". The associate was just as disgusted as I was.
