A Louisiana woman who had recently completed chemotherapy treatment and who underwent a double mastectomy last summer claims that Walmart employees laughed at her in the store bathroom after confusing her with a man.
The customer tells KNOE-TV that she’d gone to the Walmart with her family on Friday and was in the restroom, when, “All of a sudden, these two employees come bursting in, ‘Sir, you can’t be in here! Sir, you can’t be here.’ They started laughing and they went out.”
The woman says the employees later returned to the restroom, where she claims to have overheard them saying things like, “That was a woman? She looked like a man.”
Walmart is apologizing for to the customer and says that the employees have been suspended pending an investigation.
