In the comments section, most users tagged Walmart’s TikTok account in an attempt to elicit a response from the retail corporation.  

@Walmart personally i’m firing him but maybe that’s just me tho,” one user commented.

@Walmart personally I wouldn’t let my employees destroy my merchandise but Ayee that’s just me, another wrote.

@Walmart y’all didn’t accept my application,” a third user commented.

Others speculated on whether he was simply destroying expired merchandise.
