TikToker sparks debate by working at Walmart without being employee

Uploaded on December 20, 2023, Madison revealed that she went to a random Walmart and worked there for free.

After showing a couple of clips of her cleaning up and restocking shelves, Madison says that she began having customers approach her to ask for help. She even had someone ask if she was a TikToker, to which she declined.

“I think she mistook me for Gail Lewis. Sorry, that’s not me,” she joked. After nine hours of stocking shelves and picking up trash, Madison left the store as they were getting ready to close.

This video sparked quite the debate between viewers, with some thinking she was wrong for working at such a large company for free.

“Walmart makes million a year and they do not need the free labor,also They’re limiting jobs with self checkout. Go help homeless shelter, orphanage, pat shelter. really help your community,” one user replied.

Another commented: “Ya nah. This is actually not wholesome or cool. Dang girl. Walmart is literally the most corrupt company in the world.”

“I am new here but this is super cool! if you haven’t done a dollar general you should try! that place is always covered in carts of items,” a third viewer recommended.
