This is all on you, man. The bolded part says you came back after the fact to tell her off. What for? It was over. Being a slob in a store is no big deal, but neither is somebody calling you out on it. Should've just accepted the criticism and moved on but instead you got salty and escalated it. That's not good... Because I take way to much crap off people and got tired of how people treat me and when I went up to her I was polite and respectful before she got rude.

I'm not saying I would say something to a total stranger in a store, but I haaaaate when people can't be bothered to put things back where they belong in a store, especially when it expends no extra effort on your part to do so. Working in retail will do that to you. Seriously, you spend lord knows how many minutes of your life constantly fixing up things like that and you will never do it to another store's staff again. Then again, it's Wal-Mart...they likely don't bother to clean at all. I suppose in life anymore that we all have this self entitlement to where being reminded of simple measures that benefit others by someone you don't know is wrong and you repremand their statement with namecalling. No wonder elders have no respect for younger generations. How can younger generations respect elders tho when some elders show no respect to us younger generations the Lady had no right to talk down to me like i was 6 then reprimand me in front of my father it actually felt good telling her off and my Dad said he did't even blame me for doing so

As an employee of Wallmart I hate when people don't put thing back where they go. I often tell people we could be out of this item or someone could have just hidden it somewhere. It is absurd how often customers hide things for no reason. The thieves are different I mean people who just put random things in the freezer. I will never understand it.

As a now former Wal-Mart employee, I side with you on all BUT the starting stuff outside.
It's when you take stuff from one section of the store and put it in another that's annoying.

I actually don't have a problem with that. Getting things back on the hook can be annoying. It is the people who put it in an random place. It happens way to often. Over the Christmas season people were using are tree stand display to put just all kinds of random thing on. Carts and carts of things it really annoyed me. Them and people who don't put cart in the cart corrals really get to me.

People wouldn't give you so much crap if you didn't keep leaving their stuff off the hooks, mang!

Reminds me of a time when I was in the restroom of a restaurant in Boone, North Carolina, and as I dried my hands this hippie dude (town's full of hippies) said "duuuude, you should never use more than 2 paper towels to dry your hands." Like, okay, good intentions I suppose, but...f*** off man, mind your own business.
Of course, I didn't call him the c-word or anything. Maybe I should've.

Dude, you're a 20 year old guy bitching out an old woman in a Walmart for not letting you leave the wrestling action figures where you want. You're probably not gonna look like the good guy in that scenario.

That is not what happened at all The Old lady who did't even work there had no reason to even come up to me as I am 20 years old and not a 6 year old.. and It wasn't till she begin talking down to me in front of my dad till I told her to mind her own business it wasn't simply a lady being nice she was a busy body. and a lot of people agree with me so ya...

That's not the point. Never said the lady was being nice, never said the lady was working there, never said you were six years old. I'm saying that bitching out an elderly woman in a Walmart, especially when you're a grown adult, isn't gonna make you look like you're in the right there.

Correction tho she wasn't elderly she was at least in her forties and second of all all I said to her was my bad thank you but you have no right to talk to me like that when you walked by 3 other people doing the same thing and then she started being rude to me which I then lost it if she had of just left me be like she left the other two people and had listened to me when I calmly tried to talk to her maybe I wouldn't have lost it. Is all I am saying. She had d no right talking to like you said a grown adult like a 6 yeard old.

Just a little story of something that happened to me back when I was in high school. I was at a fast food place with a friend and I was having a somewhat obnoxious conversation with him. In the middle of this, a lady behind me who was there with her teenage daughter decided to interrupt me to call me out on swearing. She said something along the lines of "I know it's a free country, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't swear."
Now, I could have told her to mind her own business. I could have told her if she was so worried about what her daughter was hearing, that she likely hears worse things at school. I could have told her to "f*** off". But I didn't. You know why? Because I was out of line to begin with.
Sure it's easy to look at it in a way where I'm free to do whatever I want, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't have common courtesy for others. If I really wanted, I could have ruined this lady's day by saying something nasty, or ignoring her. Or I could just be a little more careful with what I said at that moment in public, I mean afterall, is it really worth getting in a fight about? Was I offended? Maybe if I had thin skin or decided to display a pathetic showing of ego by "doing whatever I want".
My friend ended up saying I pussed out by not standing up to her, but really there's better hills to die on. Within 4 minutes, we had our food and we left and it was no longer an issue. The reason I remember that is because if I was younger say 13 or 14, I know I would have said something else simply because I had no respect for other people's surroundings. It's easy to not see things from other people's perspectives because everyone feels so self entitled, therefore a lot of people are never held accountable for their actions. It's those people who never learn who are those obnoxious douchebags who come into public places talking loud, causing scenes, making messes and being completely and totally oblivious to the notion that everyone around them HATES them. Most people don't speak up, because they don't want to risk an altercation such as the one that you had, it's not worth the time since it'll ultimately be wasted, so instead they tolerate the actions of those people who never ever learn. It's that whole "don't take shit from anyone" attitude that should only be used in certain situations, but instead there's a bunch of people walking around with chips on their shoulder, ready to pounce at a moment's notice when something is asked of them. Common courtesies are a rarity nowadays.

I just found the lady was just trying to make a point with me then say someone who would of said worse to her
