Do you think it was fair to fire him?

88 y/o Bob Tallinger from Wisconsin, a Walmart Greeter was FIRED after he failed to stop a wild turkey from entering the store!!

He was working when the turkey waltzed on in and failed to stop it

He said "It starts and it goes back around and then it walks out.". The turkey was eventually caught by a Humane Animal Welfare society official

He worked as a greeter at the store for 8 YEARS and received his termination notice last week as the supervisors said he should have alerted a manager to the bird's presence.

His wife, Jnet said "He never saw a book of rules that said if a wild turkey comes in here you better run and get management. Granted he's gotten older and granted he's lost a little memory but nevertheless that hasn't prevented him from being an excellent greeter"

The turkey was unharmed and a Walmart spokesperson confirmed Bob's termination..

Do you think it was fair to fire Bob? let's see what people think

Bob - Fired

Anyone else thought this was going to be a story about how he didn't stop someone from shoplifting a turkey?

A turkey would be a danger if left to its own devices since it would GOBBLE everything up.

If it walked right back out after, I don't see what the problem is. If it wasn't too keen on leaving though, he should have got someone. Turkeys are not to be trifled with.

Turkeys are mean. It's best to keep your distance.

He shouldn't have been fired. Wal-Mart is the fucking worst.
I'm either failing at a silly joke or trying to help.

He should be in prison

I wonder if wal mart has one of those "don't be a hero" policies like McDonald's and if turkeys apply to those

Well, they can't let United Airlines hog all the spotlight.
This sentence has five words. This sentence has eight words. Only one sentence in this signature is true.

Frustrating because it's unnecessary....and very cold-hearted. A talk with the employee would've sufficed. :(((

On a scale of chill to jive, where did the turkey fall? Aside from which, I doubt that's part of the job description.

It's not like the guy bloodied the turkey's nose and dragged him out of the store only to have Wal-Mart management accuse the turkey of being belligerent.

I could understand firing a security guard for failing to stop it, but greeters aren't security guards. It's not their job to repel intruders.

Its not that he didnt stop the turkey, more so he didnt notify management.

Walmart doesnt let their underlings do anything and when a slightly difficult situation comes along, they ask you to always tell your manager.

Yeah, it's mostly related to liability. Especially when a country is so lawsuit-happy.

That's actually not true. Frivolous lawsuits are at their lowest that they have been in years. Giant corporations try to push the stupid myth to make it seem like the people that sue corporations are pieces of crap, which in turn makes people less likely to sue.

they dont even let anyone clean up blood spills, only a manager can do it.

Even if they see someone shop lifting they cant do anything but notify a manager.
