@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.

The original poster of the video has not responded to any of the backlash, but instead continues to pull pranks.
