A Walmart customer went viral on TikTok after finding an employee's Zebra device in their bag.
"Oh guys, something bad happened," the customer, user @electroniccrafter, says in the clip.
He then pulls a cross Christmas decoration that he purchased for his mom out of his Walmart bag. @electroniccrafter notes that he paid at the self-checkout, and an employee had to help with his transaction.
The TikToker reveals a Zebra mobile computer, a handheld device increasingly used by retail workers, including Walmart employees, which had found its way into his bag.
"Is this important?" he asks.
@electroniccrafter shared his distress in the caption. “Went to Walmart. I think someone’s getting fired, or I’m getting arrested,” he wrote.
