Walmart employee baked to death in oven

FFS!!

Well, when you tempt God by using European “Center” spelling, shit is bound to go south.

Don’t look at us!

That's strange.

They did have "Supercentre" on the front of the building. Do Canadians swing both ways with their spelling.

My heart does go out to her. Only 19 years old. Thoughts and/or prayers.

Oh damn I misread your post R2 and thought you were saying they used 'center' as the spelling. I've got to do something about my adhd.

Did they stick a knife in her to see if she was done?

They have Walmart in Halifax, is this to be ended with a question mark or exclamation, that is the question.

r5 we forget the proper spelling of centre. Fucking Americanisation of Canada. /rant

Halifax, Nova Scotia ? Why was I expecting Florida ? Or Alabama ?

r8 Walmart replaced Woolco since the mid-90s here. The first store in my area opened in 1996.

Walk-in ovens should have an escape hatch FFS.

Damn.

Just like in the movie "Thanksgiving"

They have walk in ovens at Walmart??

Awww Woolco. I remember when it was the big Woolworth expansion. And then plop.

But apparently there are still Woolworths in Barbados, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Wonder if they still have the soda fountain counter that I remember from my youth?

Horrifically tragic.

[Quote] Walk-in ovens should have an escape hatch FFS.

They do. The woman was an 'international student', code for cheap Indian labour in Canada. She probably didn't know how to use it.

I'm thinking something like this, but how that would work? I know they have this type of ovens.

No walk-in air fryers?

What the hell is a "walk-in oven?" Why would such a thing exist? My heart breaks for this poor woman, her family and loved ones.

Where the fuck was Trump when needing fried…food?

Well…

She was hot, but it couldn't last forever.

What was on her iPod?

Seems an extreme way to try to get a tan.

It might be the second glass of wine, but R3 made me laugh my ass off.

The Best of Bread, R24.

At least she didn’t leave her cake out in the rain.

I’ve heard of yeast infection, but this is ridiculous!

Was barbecue pork by the pound on sale the next day?

The Walocaust! Never Again!

“She Was Hot,” by the Stones.

Such a nice plump frame what’s her name has….had…. has!

Can we get Trump to follow up on his McDonald gig with a day of work at Walmart?

The Walmart bagels are people!!!!! They’re people!!!!! My god!!!!!

I can probably count the number of Sikhs I've ever met on one hand, but I've liked them all. Very humble, hardworking and kind people. RIP. Seriously hoping the young lady didn't suffer too much in her last moments.

Walmart Lives Matter

They do exist, but WTF? That is just a horrible accident/murder/suicide waiting to happen!

I've worked in a bakery that had walk-in ovens. On a cold day the workers would stand just inside the oven to warm up.😳

Not in Australia, r15. Woolworths is just a supermarket here. The same company owns Big W, a discount department store.

It had to happen sometime.

Not exactly a good way for Halifax to be welcoming the world's top figure skaters to the city for Skate Canada this week.

You think they’ll put the skaters in a walk-in freezer?

R24 "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer. It was on a loop.

Tragic.

She was a TFW, of course. I hope the family sues Walmart, not that will bring her back, but still.

Now she’s popping’ fresh!

I wouldn't be getting in a walk-in anything appliance. NOPE!

For r24:

[quote] Seriously hoping the young lady didn't suffer too much in her last moments

Oh, I'm sure melting inside an oven wasn't too painful....

Needs more salt

Didn't the employee have a phone?

See? They start out with dogs and cats. Eating them. And then they turn to PEOPLE. They are eating the people!

Walk-in oven... How titillating! It's not like we intend to entertain 11 million beaners in deportation camps forever.

I hope they tested her with a toothpick before they pulled her out ...

That's just wrong R56.

The Daily Fail is saying that the oven didn't lock and that anyone inside could get out of it.

I grew up in the bakery business, and while I guess it's possible to get stuck inside a walk-in oven, I suspect she had a health crisis and either died or passed out from something else while inside.

Patti Austin's "The Heat of Heat" is much too gorgeous to be used in tandem with this horrible occurrence.

She was playing a game called Hiding Sikh.

I wonder if she thought she was locked in and freaked out to the point of having a heart attack. Poor thing. Have they stated explicitly that she actually baked to death or just she that was found dead inside the oven?

I vote murder most foul.

Apparently the doors don't lock, so someone had to be holding it closed.

Soylent Green, now sold at Walmart! It can be found in aisle 13, next to the Spam and potted meat product.

Based on R65 one of her eyebrows was already singed.

now they have a haunted oven

For r60. Is this better?

Her mother found her. How truly awful. I couldn't even imagine how you come back from that.

Sounds like it could be a co-worker who did this.

Naan of this makes sense.

It really doesn't make sense. Don't they have cameras going ?

A few things I gathered from the comment section at R65's link:

• The young lady may have been slightly "impaired" developmentally/cognitively (i.e., special needs).

Not only was she 19 years old and working alongside her mother at the same place, but mom checked in on her frequently. The mom supposedly became concerned after not seeing/hearing from her daughter for over an hour).

• Although they told the emergency dispatcher the oven was on, it may not actually have been. Apparently those type of industrial ovens go up to 500° or more, and take hours to cool down. Since the store closes at 10pm and the incident occured around 9 or so, the oven may have been turned off and in the process of cooling, but still hot enough to be lethal (which is what they meant).

• Although the doors of those ovens don't lock from either side, they DO seal tight, so it would take a bit of effort to open.

[quote]it could be one of those doors that needs a good pull to open once closed due to pressure differences

• The door might have been too hot to touch. Combined with the fact that the young woman may have been panicking (and possibly had special needs), that may explain how she was unable to get out.

None of this really explains how she ended up inside the oven in the first place, however.

Yes, I know it happened in Canada, but I honestly thought investigators wouldn't be so crooked compared to our inert and blanched peo

Nothin' says lovin' like someone's in the oven!

This happened nearby me, I can't imagine, then they only 545K?

[quote] The door might have been too hot to touch.

Was she tender to the touch?

I wonder if it was murder, and that's why the cops aren't saying much?

There is no way this was not caught on camera.

Sad. Feel so sorry for the family.

R47 Maybe I'm the only old codger who does not know what "TFW" means.

FFS

Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFW) is a program of the Government of Canada that allows employers in Canada to hire foreign nationals

Her mother may have been checking on her all the time due to knowing how lax safety standards were at the store (Wal*Mart would be cutting every corner possible), or because she was in seeming danger from a colleague.

They're a German thang.

I think her mom killed her.

Does anyone know what happened to the body?

Girls, girls, come on now - "getting baked" is just an expression!!!
