To start with I'm not black. Are you that like clueless and lacking insight that you don't understand why I say this is a uniquely white thing white people do. Maybe you need to reflect on things a bit in the travel and meet new people to get this point or maybe you're just too far gone.

I'm saying the place has like zero edge. Like I lived in a major city for a lot of my life so you may understand things is different but when you have a bunch of fucking snooty snobby ass people from places like Ozark nixa and Republic driving into Springfield to go to that place it like creates like something that is seems to be uniquely why such is using a thousand words describe what essentially is fried eggs. calling things by an uncommon name it's a super pretentious fucking place.

Pepsi teamsters union is weak as fuck. The health insurance is great but that's it they didn't do shit otherwise It was basically a non-union job with the same old shit. Most unions in Springfield are in cahoots with management.

Also the "black mold" situation with Amazon was apparently something invented due to a dozen or so employees deciding they were a union.

Get cameras, ring doorbell or something similar.There are security companies that provide off site surveillance and can give you a bundle deal. Cameras, lights and plain, visible no trespassing signs, and signs stating surveillance on the property. Lights near the doors should be the brightest of course. Possibly purchase a handgun and know how to shoot and use it. You can't go wrong with dogs who bark when someone approaches a fence.

With all that considered you've minimized your chances of a break in or theft on the property, but the one wild card that throws logic and reasoning out the window would be someone under the influence of meth.

I really don't see paying more than $30 for a haircut. Seems like the definition of pretentious. Cheap places are filled with silly bitches who have practically zero training on cutting hair and likely only know a few styles that they'll pigeon hole you into when you ask for something different. When they end up doing a half ass job they don't like being confronted about it. They're also more focused on schmoozing you into tipping them a large amount than anything else.

.I seriously doubt this place justifies the price at all. That's world class prices for services I don't think they deliver. Springfield, MO is simply going to be a place with no barbers for certain hair textures. Straight to semi-curly is what you'll find.

I went there once and dealt with some of the rudest people I've ever given my hard earned money to. I truly can't think of a better group of people to have this shit happen to. Lying, stealing lowlives commiting identity theft on former employees they fired good riddance and don't come back.

Well it's kind of a double-edged sword because I can reveal this and they don't give a fuck because this is a lower paid employee saying that not a high no ranking corporate disclosing things to a competitor.

I documented phone numbers and everything else and just due to the nature of the harassment I was fairly isolated at that store so knowing names and people is going to be pretty hard because I didn't even know anybody on a first name basis even other than the employees I've worked with.

WM is synonymous with poor taste low quality and low class. Everything about that store is I don't give a fuck we're a national institution we aren't going anywhere and you have no choice most of the time.

No not really we were required to drive 5 mph and no higher. Most people take that job to waste 12 hours and get paid for doing so.

There are sensors in that truck that detects when it's moving more than 5 miles an hour and only time it can move more than 5 miles an hour if you're driving to a gas station to fill up on gas. Otherwise you end up getting in trouble. I know it piss people off and then it really was more of a danger than anything else because people would get cut me off not knowing what's in front of me nearly hitting pedestrians. I'd find a vantage point and just camp there for an hour until I was told not to do that anymore and just went back to driving extremely slow and ruining customers experiences at the store.

I actually saw a video on YouTube by someone who was a realtor in this area and the way he he downplayed the homeless problem was really horrifying and really shows you what the core of the problem is just at the absolute denial and lack of acceptance that this is a problem that there are a ton of poor people but instead they get all defensive and say no it's not that bad there is a few patches of good areas over the north side which I think these people may live

I definitely worked on the Northside in a hands on role with the public and I think poverty is really not the biggest problem I've dealt with I think about the majority of the people I've had these experiences with or under the influence of drugs and alcohol and the fact that majority of the pedestrians are in fact homeless people and their day to day life consist of where to get their drug fixed and how to get it and I can tell you that walking alone at night is not a good idea and that's why the homeless travel in groups. And that fair amount of the homeless are from outside of here from what my interactions have been with them. The people that live on the North side are quite honestly scared shitless of what the north side has become and cannot comprehend leaving their house without caring a firearm and that's just a fact I don't know how North North you live but if you consider the MSU area the north side then you're absolutely wrong.

And quite frankly and I think it really undermines the concerns that the people who actually live on the North side have to poo poo this as some sort of communal environment when it's really the closest thing to human connection a lot of the drug addicts have or are people using each other to use each other. And the fact is there's a lot of broken homes and there's a lot of broken people over on the North side and yes you see the facts of it through crime and drugs.

I honestly view the Greyhound bus as a cattle cart. Something I've never rode on once in my life so I simply didn't know.

It was never my responsibility to follow anyone, and in fact Brosnan prohibited it, yet ignorant Walmart employees would try to hoist that on me until I had to set them straight, especially with the racist tone it had.

I would be approached by a cashier. Usually the one supervising a self checkout or even a greeter. Also when I'd do an entire perimeter sweep of the store and doing so I'd be approached by a staff member staying to the effect that they don't like the looks of someone that just so happened to be some brown.

Asset protection people really just walk around the store in regular clothes and start to follow people they determine to be sketchy. They will talk on a company phone to an AP in a office or one also walking the store.

Just so you know the AP office is the door. Just to the left while you walk in through the pharmacy side entrance it's almost always unlocked and the APs have zero right to detain you. If they ask you to go into their office it's not a detention hence the unlocked door. Feel free to run.

Lol I think I know which one you're talking about Campbell/Grant neighborhood market, possibly.

I was the only one there who looked the role. The only there over six feet and went to the gym. The rest were very small and out of shape and probably added credence to private security being laughing stock. The Walmart employees actually complained that I was too large and intimidating

The sad thing is that I was the likely one of their best security guards. During my parking lot checks I took it upon myself to look into windshields of cars and do bathroom checks every hour. To see if someone was sleeping/unconscious/dead. I often got tossed into the same lot of Brosnan employees who were in fact racist, lazy or inept. That job attracted a lot of wannabe cops, and lazy people who saw is as a job that consisted just fucking around all day. I always found ways to fill my day in a security related manner.

The people they hire to catch shop lifters would be the asset protection people. Who actually are just the regular employees with duel roles. They maybe are out on the floor as secret shoppers four hours a day other times they're at a cash register,pulling a pallet jack and stocking shelves.

Brosnan who has no contractual authority to accost potential shop lifters, but only provide a visual deterrence, yet are scapegoated by Walmart asset protection all the time. You're pretty much paid to exist in the store 12 hours a day.

Well, the compliant I filed to Walmart lead to my termination. The guy threatening some potential troublemaker. That shooting in Virginia by a Walmart manager was still on my mind. Due to being unarmed and not a peace officer made me feel very out in the cold and inept in such a situation.

I did file a more detailed with Brosnan that included conflict of interest relationships with subordinates, harassment from staff and neglect by management.

Brosnan is run by Patrick Brosnan who is Fox News correspondent. The fact that unarmed Walmart security is the lowest rung of the Brosnan pecking order I think they'd just let this burn itself out as long as Walmart keeps the contract.

I'm familiar with HR policies. They have zero obligation to maintain records and are encouraged to destroy them to avoid and kind of court order discovery.

I do have text message conversations with Frank where he's rude and condescending. He seemed to text everyone on a daily basis to bring them up to speed but only texted me maybe once a week if that.

There honestly isn't much for me to do further north than downtown. I stopped there and saw clear drug deals. Security guard who told me to fuck off. Feces in front of the store. A guy walking around covered in swastika tattoos
