Friendly Shop Worker Sacked

 

I came across this story synchronistically not long after I wrote this post: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/07/tesco-butlerian-jihad-4-always-ask.html. An assistant at a grocery shop has been sacked in mysterious circumstances. As regular readers will know, I've got a lot of experience with such things and whenever an employee is terminated and there is no obvious reason why, be suspicious; see here for details: https://hpanwo-hpwa.blogspot.com/2025/01/thirteen-years-on.html. Chad Willoughby was one of the most popular figures in his community. The people of Taylorsville, Utah USA valued him enormously whenever they went into the local Walmart grocers. He was described as "an extremely friendly guy who oozes positivity" and "He was the happiest person I ever met." Another customer, Felipe Avundez, said "People would come to this store just to see Chad." The forty-nine year old is now unemployed and wondering how he is going to provide for his young son. Walmart, which is one of the world's biggest supermarket chains, declined to comment when asked by the media. Chad himself describes the situation as being down on his till. He handed out discounts on items that had lost their price tags without authorizing them with management. This cost the company all of US$40, the equivalent of £30.23p. He justified it by saving time in the queue and keeping his customers happy. Nobody spoke to him or warned him beforehand. He was not asked simply to pay the money back. The first thing he knew about it was when he was frogmarched out of the shop.

You'd think an employee like him would be an asset to the company. There's obviously more going on here, but the fact that the company itself doesn't want to comment is very revealing. A clue could be that Chad's principle job at the store was to assist customers in the auto-checkouts. Perhaps his humanity was unacceptable because it reminded the shoppers of their own in a world where we're supposed to be leaving such outmoded concepts behind. We are only meant to talk to machines because we ourselves are machines. That's the way of the brave new world. The very fact that Chad was so likeable and social meant that he was a subversive dissident and needed to be eradicated. I'm pleased to say that there has been a public outcry in the local community. The news reports show the car park almost empty of vehicles which hopefully means there's a boycott of the shop. There has been a fundraiser and a protest group started on Facebook. It seems the people around Chad are not yet willing to be turned into the good little automata that the government want us to become.
