@kingzehn, a well-known TikToker, is facing controversy as a video posted to his channel went viral for the deliberate and cruel pranking of several Walmart employees.

The videos showed him donning a suit and approaching the anxious employees to tell them they'd been "let go."


"Can I check with my team lead first?" most of the anxious employees immediately asked. When they found out it was just a prank, hardly any of them laughed.

Immediately, people responded that this kind of joke wasn't funny at all—it was closer to psychological torture than anything else.

After the revelation that he was joking, most workers shared that they were completely panicked.

"This is kind of random, having a guy come up saying that they have to let me go, you know?" said one of the workers. The look on his face when it was revealed as a joke was also something else.

People's objections stemmed from the fact that the year has seen the biggest labor re-examination in the past 100 years. So when people are so desperate to be working at a minimum wage job such as Walmart, that is an extreme state.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
