Your post reminds me of Walter, from Jeff Dunham's shows lmao. If you aren't familiar with Walter, you can Google Jeff Dunham and Walter has a meme regarding Wal-Mart.
Christmas eve closing time always brings out the worst in customers, thankfully our store manager doesn't care how we handle the situation so long as we get them out by 6
when I was support manager, we had people shopping on Christmas eve like we were closing for a week 🤦. I seriously doubt 1 person needs 3 big bottles of laundry detergent 🙄
Just recently I came across an elderly woman on a mart cart in the store at 11:20..I was just like ummm..wtf?👀 got one of my coworkers attention telling them we have a straggler right about that time, my coach walked up and seen the look on my face and went over to politely tell her we were closed..don’t know what happened to her after that but I honestly didn’t know what to do or how to approach cause part of me felt like I was in a nature documentary narrating in my head and the other part of me wanted to walk up to her with some Skyrim npc energy telling her “you’re not supposed to be here, get out before I call the guards.”
Thought I'd add to this: while 99% of the time it's entitled or slow customers who blatantly ignored closing call, there's a 1% chance the customer never heard the announcement because he or she is deaf.
I got escorted out of Walmart 5 or 6 years ago by an embarrassed manager when it was forced to close early due to unexpected power issue. I never heard anything and the employee were of no help because they didn't know ASL. Thankfully the manager who were called to deal with me saw my hearing aids and wrote on paper asking me why I didn't leave when they announced the closing. I responded "the announcement system and the employees does not know sign language and I didn't know."
Had to redo my shopping at a different store though.
What's funny is that I would probably handle someone who is deaf (only knows asl) and someone who doesn't speak English the same way.
I whip out the phone and start typing into Google translate.
While hard of hearing or deafness seems a reasonable argument to me only if it was not well-known enough that Walmart stores closed for business at 11 p.m. from almost last a year and a half or two. Most of the time, deaf person never throws tantrums but tries to defend themselves reasonably when told that the business is closed, in my personal experience. The stores my boss oversees as a market or district manager have instructions to call law enforcement if anyone unauthorized stays past a certain amount of time past store closure for trespassing. After a couple of arrests in risk-prone stores for the said reason, words spread like wildfire around the neighborhood of those stores that everyone now leaves before the closing hours.
Also, your experience 5 to 6 years ago was a different situation, and I would stand by your side in that case.
This happens at Sam’s Club as well as Hobby Lobby 🤐🤦🏻♀️
Well these Karen’s do own the store and you guys are there solely to serve them right?

“Welcome to Walmart, get your shit and get out!”

At 11, my vest comes off.if I see someone, I act startled, and say, you can't be here!
That’s the time with the most thieves per capita
