Does being a Good Samaritan pay off? For Carla Cheney, a former employee
of Wal-mart in Kemptville, Ontario it did not seem like it. On July 10, 2013 Cheney
was fired from Wal-mart after she confronted a customer for leaving a
dog in his truck.
The reason for Cheney being fired is that she was allegedly rude to the customer.
Cheney
had just a week prior
called the SPCA on a customer who had left a dog in their vehicle. She
had witnessed it along side her manager. When she asked her manager
what she should do her manager advised her
that it was none of her business and went inside the store.
On Tuesday Cheney witnessed
another dog being left in a vehicle and the former Wal-mart pharmacy
technician took action.
Cheney stated to CBC News that
she hadn’t started her shift yet and was in fact in plain clothes and
not wearing her Wal-mart vest. Cheney was sitting at a table with some
fellow employees outside of the Kemptville Wal-mart when she witnessed
the customer leaving his dog in a parked truck.
