A former Walmart employee known as Kae on TikTok (@lolxdlolxdlolxd23455) has gone viral after sharing a series of bizarre and unsettling stories from his time working at the retail giant. The video has amassed 132,700 views and 362 comments, sparking a wave of reactions and similar anecdotes from viewers.
No Longer Bound by Contract, Kae Reveals “Wildest Stories”
In the video, Kae explains that because he is no longer employed by Walmart, he feels free to recount the most extraordinary incidents he witnessed or heard about from colleagues and customers at stores globally. The stories range from disturbing customer interactions to bizarre in-store spectacles.
Customer Claims to Own Strip Club, Makes Alarming Statement
Kae detailed a disturbing encounter at a checkout lane involving an adult male customer.
“There was a customer who came through the checkout, asked me how old I was, right? I said that I was a minor, because at the time, I was a minor. And then he started to yap about the fact that he owned a strip club. And his exact words were, quote, ‘I’m trying to find girls to sell,’” he said.
Team Lead Drama and Alleged Transactional Relationship
Kae also shared a personal story involving a team lead in the fashion department and an older male coworker.
“This is my story. I had this team lead that I worked with in fashion, and she was horrible. And she was terrible, right? Well, I noticed her making these googly eyes at this one guy that worked in the back. He was an older man, which I was really confused because she was in her late 20s, early 30s, but I knew that she slept around. About two weeks goes by, and I’m thinking nothing of it, right? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. One of my coworkers comes up to me, and she tells me that she had slept with the old man,” he said.
According to Kae, the coworker allegedly confessed that the encounter was transactional, done to secure money for rent.
The “Tooth Fairy” Buys $210 Worth of Colgate
Perhaps the most surreal story involved a man dressed as the Tooth Fairy who entered the store and cleared the shelf of a specific product.
“We have this one guy coming to the store who is dressed as a tooth fairy, right? He had went straight to the self care aisle, where we have toothbrushes and toothpaste and stuff like that. He had one of those little Walmart baskets. Actually, I have one. I’ll show you. It was like this right here. He just filled it up with Colgate … He walks up to the self checkout and checks all of this shit out, and his total was like $210. And then he just proceeded to walk around and hand kids toothpaste,” Kae said.
Viewer Reactions: Shock, Relatability, and Shared Horror Stories
The comment section quickly turned into a forum for viewers to express disbelief and share their own chaotic Walmart experiences. One specific detail—a physical Walmart basket Kae used as a prop—caught many off guard.
“Out of all of the stories, but caught me off guard was the Walmart basket was not expecting you to just pull that up,” one user wrote.
“Im watching this while in walmart,” another user said.
Other commenters contributed their own grim memories of working or shopping at the retailer.
“My bf is a cashier and i’m an OPD associate and one day he had a family come through his line and the baby threw up all over the floor and the mother completely ignored it and STEPPED IN IT AND SMEARED IT EVERYWHERE and just walked away,” one user recalled.
