Wal-Mart officials say a Colorado woman’s heartbreaking Facebook post about her experience shopping in one of their locations is a hoax.

In the video, entitled “Pueblo Walmart changed my life” Paige Yore explains that she was in line behind a woman who was being rude to a teenage cashier at the store. “He’s taking deep breaths”, Yore recalled.
As Yore stood there irritated, the woman began yelling at the young man, “You suck at customer service”. “I just said ‘ma’am could you step aside and maybe let somebody else take care of you while we check out?'”
Paige says she wants to get in touch with the young man and help get a GoFundMe account set up for him.
Yore says she continued to console him, and he stopped and said…
Yore went on to explain that she had been waiting in line for about 20 minutes while a young cashier struggled to get customers checked out.
“This woman is yelling at me and I don’t even have a mom anymore”, said the young man. He told her his mother committed suicide that morning.
She says that’s when the young man running the register burst into tears and said something that made Paige post her video. In fact, it was found that the only tension between a customer and the cashier that Yore vlogged about was an issue due to a so-called “language barrier”. However, on Saturday – a day after the video was posted – she wrote that she was reaching out Wal-Mart corporate because she wanted to track down the cashier and raise money for him.
“No matter where we or, no matter what we’re doing”.
Yore said the woman was completely humiliated in front of everyone for the way she had treated the boy as he continued to cry.
The company also reviewed the security footage from the store, and there was no yelling, no crying, and no hugging. He came around and hugged Yore. The associate wasn’t exactly sure what she was talking about.
While Mullins wouldn’t speculate about why Yore made up the story, others on Facebook say she is seeking to grow her social media audience, and in her latest video posted on Sunday, Yore asks for more subscribers to her YouTube channel. “His mother is alive and well”, Mullins said.
