Once she was in the bathroom stall, Davis shared that she heard a “man’s voice yelling inside the restroom.”
The man who mistook Davis for a trans woman started yelling transphobic slurs and threatened to “beat all those p*ssies” and “protect his wife/girlfriend from them.”

“I was scared,” Davis stated while adding that “the whole experience only lasted a few minutes even though it felt like forever.” She said, “I was extremely shaken and scared as I waited, listening for him or anyone.”
After the couple left, Davis returned to her department and shakily informed her supervisor about the frightening experience. After a week, she was fired.

Davis explained Walmart’s reason for firing her was that she posed a “security risk.”
“The reason they gave for my termination was that I didn’t inform a salaried member of management of the incident and that not doing so posed a security risk,” said Davis. She shared that while she did inform her supervisor immediately, they were not a salaried management member.
Upset and confused over the incident, Davis shared, “I just… I don’t understand. I was the one followed into the bathroom and I was the one who felt threatened and unsafe…. so I get fired for it? Does this make sense to anyone?”

“Why didn’t the person you reported to get fired also? Their job is to report also or to make you report. And at the very least you should have had a warning,” asked another.
Many users called out Walmart, with one writing, “Cowards. The bigot, AND the leadership at Walmart. Absolute cowards,” and another adding, “Walmart is a VILE company to work for.”
