Walmart has been placed on santa’s naughty list, and it’s only January.
A Walmart spokesperson stated earlier this week that part of an $80,000 donation made by Chicago Bears pass-rusher Khalil Mack’s foundation to pay off customer layaways at a store in his hometown of Fort Pierce, Florida, was not handled properly.
Company representative Delia Garcia told Treasure Coast news it took “corrective action” after determining the store “didn’t handle the transaction in keeping with Walmart’s guidelines.” According to the report, an internal investigation found that after the Fort Pierce store’s layaways totaled just $60,000, management allowed workers to use the remaining $20,000 to put items on layaway for themselves.
This entire thing was blown out of the water after an angry employee blew the whistle on the entire situation because they were left out of benefiting from the money.
Several managers and employees were suspended as the retailer investigated the use of Mack’s donation.
Garcia later clarified that “the ‘transaction’ was flawed, but employees didn’t ‘misuse’ the donation” and said “a ‘representative’ of the foundation—not the foundation itself—knew and approved of employees benefiting.”
Mack graduated from Fort Pierce Westwood High School in 2009.
