This Walmart employee presumably died so they posted a photo of him on an easel at the entrance to greet customers.

      Yeah this is weird. It’d be one thing to have this in the breakroom or something and do a little ceremony of some sort in there, but to put this right in front of the entrance sure was a choice. With all due respect, the majority of customers probably never knew he existed, so it’s just kind of awkward for this to be the first thing they see when they walk in.

      Idk if Ryan would’ve wanted this (I know I wouldn’t). If there is an afterlife from which you can watch over your loved ones, I’d be pretty embarrassed to see this and probably haunt those involved for at least a week.

      I wonder if Walmart collected a life insurance policy on him or if they stopped that practice didn’t they call it dead peasants or something?

      Joplin, Missouri they had a mural in Customer Service for the three employees that were killed in the 2011 tornado. And then they tore it down like a couple of years later. Shame, it was kind of a nice memorial.

      If I die and they still have me at work greeting customers please burn the fucking store down.

      What if he just left that job and this is a joke for him to see? Maybe? Or perhaps I’m too optimistic.

      (Shows my receipt to the poster of Ryan and walks out with the PS5 I switched for a pork chop)

      I think you go to the same Walmart as me. There was another guy who died like a month or two ago and they had an easel picture as well, but they had flowers.

    8. Answer this honestly, if you died, would your employer even acknowledge it, let alone publicly?

      Now I doubt this was officially sanctioned by the Corporate office, but probably done by people who really cared about him but that’s still something to acknowledge. RIP Ryan.
