Working during the holiday season can be stressful for anyone in retail, but one employee found himself in big trouble for a post about hitting customers\u2019 knees with a crowbar. Earlier in November, TikToker \u2018shieldwolf_64\u2019 blew up for uploading a TikTok clip mocking customers for \u201cbegging\u201d to buy his Home Depot\u2019s Grand Duchess Christmas Tree display model. \u201cThe next person that calls asking for the \u2018Grand Duchess\u2019 Christmas tree is getting a crowbar to the kneecaps,\u201d he captioned a video of him staring into the camera. However, his clip seemed to rile up some users who sent the video to corporate headquarters. Home Depot employee sacked for threatening remarks about Christmas trees A few days after the original TikTok went viral and received over 1M views, shieldwolf revealed that he was being fired over the clip. In a video response to a viewer who claimed they had saved the video and sent it to Home Depot\u2019s corporate office, the TikToker showed his \u201ctermination\u201d documents. \u201cApparently, you can\u2019t crowbar people\u2019s kneecaps,\u201d he said. The documents reference the TikTok incident with Home Depot believing that shieldwolf had engaged in \u201caggressive or threatening behavior.\u201d The now-ex employee added that he was going to continue making videos spiting the store and that customers \u201cdon\u2019t need everything a white girl on TikTok told you to buy.\u201d In the comments, users sided with the former worker, saying he didn\u2019t deserve such a harsh punishment while others urged him to apply at Lowe\u2019s instead. So far, it\u2019s unclear if he\u2019s found another job and he hasn\u2019t uploaded a video since taking the \u201cwalk of shame\u201d leaving Home Depot after getting the boot.
