I work at a Home Depot and can vouch that there’s no training on cleaning chemicals beyond “if there’s a spill. Block the aisle get a manager or supervisor with hazmat certification to clean it.” I’ve had to pull our overnight team members aside and explain over and over again, to the same people, to not places boxes of chemicals on their side, because they can leak. The number of bottles that have leaked because of this is too many to count and it’s only a miracle that nothing has mixed together.

[@naomiwashburn358]

Personal Conspiracy Theory: I'm betting that the legal team told her manager that the company might be liable for the incident BECAUSE she wasn't properly trained. Firing her upsets her life and possibly makes her stop caring about the company. That way, she never has a chance to figure out that the company was at fault.

[@GoldSpangledBananaBoy]

Not really a conspiracy theory. Target is sketchy as hell.

[@ShaggyRogers1]

That's exactly why she was immediately fired. They want her to move on and forget about the incident before she goes to the doctors about a burning sensation in her chest that keeps persisting. If she were to move on and they squash any documentation about the incident, then she would have to both remember about the incident and then seek legal compensation. If they kept bleach as a cleaning supply and failed to do any proper safety training with it, then they are OSHA responsible for what happens.

[@cjb2749]

Legal advised them to let her go because- DUE TO HER LACK OF SAFETY TRAINING- she could later find out that she has scarring in/on her lungs and sue them. They likely withheld her termination documents to cover their own asses. Target, the corporation, has pretty extensive safety training protocols for new hires, but a lot of the stores don't bother spending the time necessary for effective training until something bad happens.

[@BettiePagan]

This. Terminate the working relationship as soon as possible bc it won’t fit under the rug with the rest of their dodgy practices. Get that statute clock running and hope she forgets about it. But they didn’t foresee her TikTok going viral, even gives her a stronger foothold as she filmed walking out her (old) store and explicitly stated an absence of knowledge/training, but without giving her the paperwork that’s the only evidence she has to legally hold herself up it seems

as a janitor, or a cross trained employee ( i was a janitorial supervisor for 3 years ) it is actually very common to get both bleach and ammonia based products such as windex with your cleaning kit. ammonia is usually in glass cleaning things, mirrors, ect. BUT what i dont understand is how they didnt teach her about it. because you cant assume they learned it, and yeah XD im just glad no one was hurt. another helpful tip. NEVER mix bleach with anything aluminum. not only does this emit toxic gas. but it can actually cause an explosion

[@annacochran4418]

I'm not a janitor nor have I ever worked professionally in that area but isn't it common sense to not mix chemicals? The tiktok toilet cleaning trend (where they use 20 products) may have gotten to people brains a bit. Anyway about the aluminum and toilet cleaner we learned that as kids to make little pressure bombs. We would go to dollar tree with $5 and buy water bottles, aluminum foil, and their version of the works. Its certainly no laughing matter and honesty shaped the way I look at cleaning products today. I'm a bit dumbfounded that no adults stopped us.

Im currently a janitor and did work at walmart for about 4 years, and as far as my anecdotes go, we get trainings that specify that you do not mix any chemicals unless you know with absolute certainty what itll do, and even then to mix them you must get management approval if and when u must mix. But its not really feasable to get a cleaning kit that has zero bad reactions if mixed, due to the nature of cleaning chemicals, so instead they give you training not to mix them.

[@wintershock]

Yeah, I’m also a janitor as of right now although I have to clean with different chemicals. We don’t use windex or anything but we have a thing in the room where we store the supplies that has a variety of different cleaners. One for surfaces like desks and the floor, one for mirrors and a very diluted one for the lab. It is so important that we have our bottles labeled because if I mixed the glass cleaner with what we use for the lab, things could go very wrong. We even have the nozzles and buttons labeled so we know which liquid we are dispensing. If one of the labels is fading away, we replace it instantly. We don’t want to accidentally fill the wrong bottle with the wrong cleaner.

[@sunniegb]

I. The fact that she’s filming in Walmart is so funny. 2. Picturing her bobbing and weaving through Target to outrun her boss is hilarious. 3. I’m happy for her that she’s no longer tied to a job that was negatively affecting her mental (and apparently physical) health.

​@Gone Lucid Films so proud of you. Well we come from different households and learned different things. Ofc I read the labels and see what not to mix. I meant mixing things such as vinegar and citric acid with baking soda. Safe life hacks. But I do clean almost everyday because our moms will call us lazy for not doing anything in the house and freak out if they see one sock on the floor. I basically became a neat person and my mom likes coming back home to see the house clean. Don't assume things about me because I could do the same but I didn't. I'm just happy to learn something new with this video but it's a good thing I never thought of mixing Bleach and Fabuloso together before since the product itself works fine and smells nice. Especially the purple one.

[@charlierosesmith3807]

it's actually weirdly common for people to accidentally make chlorine gas while cleaning, at least here in the US. some cleaners have ammonia as a part of their detergents and stain cleaners, and other cleaners are less focused on stain removal but have bleach to disinfect surfaces. and since both are readily available, people go "hm i should mix the stain cleaner with the sanitizer to get this all done at once" and they poison themselves, though usually in their own homes and not at work. I've had like two different friends do this.

Mustard Gas is Sulphur based, she likely made chloramine gas. The reason they fired her is because, if she or someone else would have been hurt, they would have been liable for failure to properly train her. As there are laws in every state about employees handling potentially hazardous chemicals. Laws they (Target) clearly didn’t follow. She likely can’t talk because she has a wrongful termination case against Target.

[@Rumplegirlskin]

Her not receiving the termination papers means that she signed them and they included her admittance of her being told not to mix the product, but she mixed the products. The order did not matter. So it was like signing a confession. I’ve had to have people sign them and that is the reason, but I know it was never as shady. We also had to allow the ex-employee the opportunity to read over it before signing. Sometimes we would leave the room for a moment I remember when I was a little girl they would tell us in elementary that in the 40’s-60’s homemakers were dying from mixing every cleaning product they had. It normal had some form of ammonia in it. So they casually told us never to mix it because it produces 3 forms of gases. Which no one did while I was growing up. However, they didn’t tell my little sister this (I just asked) and they stopped giving out the toxic stickers every year to put on chemicals in the house. I doubt they even mention it anymore so what could happen is people (who weren’t into chemistry and not told at home) may begin mixing things again. But she didn’t know and like a commenter earlier pointed out, it could be that if she damaged herself, they may try to cover themselves from a lawsuit; but that wouldn’t work.

She ended up in the hospital with heart and lung damage. Sweetheart, just pour hydrogen peroxide on it, wait 5 minutes and wipe it up with a towel. Hydrogen peroxide breaks down to oxygen and water as it kills germs. Safe to wipe up, no rinsing needed. But Do Not mix it with anything else. Wipe up your nasty with paper towels or sweep it with a broom, soak with peroxide and wipe up the resulting water. Or if you want use white vinegar on your germs, but you need to let that sit about 30 minutes, then rinse. Bottom line, Do Not mix anything that has chlorine or ammonia with anything else.

[@grindminion1086]

Even the training videos in customer service jobs tell you to check the labels on cleaning chemicals. While yes we can't assume employees know these things, but they literally have to pass the tests about hazardous chemicals. It's become a habit for me to check before cleaning with certain chemicals now to avoid the poisonous gas mistakes.

[@burnabee]

Walmart is pretty shite in training staff. Worst 3 months of my life when I worked for them. Here's hoping she gets a better gig. Edit, heard her say Target lol. Same logic applies.

[@xxdesertstorm]

you don't need training to clean, if you are an adult and don't know how to clean then there is no hope for that adult

[@Surms41]

For real. My homie from school started working walmart night shifts and he coped with pain medication and drinks. He quit joined the airforce and been a million times happier and clean since.

ME TOO! I got hired as an overnight stocker for the fashion section, and the amount of stocking they expected me to do as ONE person was insane. I was 17 years old moving huge palettes and racks of clothes from the back to the front and stocking them. One day I went on break and when I came back they had locked me out of the store at 3am - I didn’t have a car and my shift didn’t end until 7am when the buses were running. I started banging in the doors hoping someone would let me in and they all kept walking right passed me!!! When I came in the next day PISSED asking why they locked me out of the store the guy was a huge asshole and said ok so you don’t want to work here anymore? Have a nice day. That girl is right, quit a miserable job before they fire you!

Her training would have covered this. It's also general knowledge in the service industry that bleach is dangerous to mix with reactive chemicals.

[@sybill123ful]

never learned that at any of my jobs in the service industry lol.

[@Trinniemon]

These corporations love to skip out on required safety training. Why pay for new employees to sit in front a video when they could send them on the floor doing x-y-z? That’s been my experience in a few service positions. It’s super messed up. Not to mention the MSDS that’s supposed to out in the open for employees to refer to how to use their company’s chemicals is usually locked away in a managers office somewhere. I feel for the girl. You can’t blame her if she didn’t know & wasn’t properly taught.

My guess is Target has chemicals for cleaning through Ecolab and this chick took cleaning supplies off the sales floor to use and she knew better to do that.

[@TipsyGizmo]

Right? Eco Lab has training videos at corporate restaurants, I managed a few years ago. I'd assume the same for a store like Wal-Mart or target would be similar.

[@sybill123ful]

how do you know this lmao

[@mang0_cat444]

Some stores are different they aren't all the same

[@alextoku]

target often requisitions out supplies off the sales floor to use. adding on to that, yes there is training about chemicals but we often miss the trainings or are told to quickly do them in 5 minutes to get back on the sales floor asap. you can only do training while clocked in (obviously) but they rush you through it. if you wanted to read thoroughly and actually understand the onboard training or PPE/spill training it would take probably 2 hours. we can’t waste the companies valuable time so it fucks the corporation over in the long run.

[@kochspostulates6149]

@@alextoku you still have to pass a quiz to complete training and acknowledge you took training and are responsible for the information in the training.

This always bugs me but ammonia and bleach makes chloramine gas not mustard gas

[@thatchick1205]

Her not being able to talk about it, actually might be a good thing. She could be going after them for wrongful termination. Or target could of reached out, and is working on a settlement with her. In some states, that would be illegal, since she was never shown, and her employer knew that.

[@Emotional-Support-Demon-Sarica]

The one problem with this is that there is very distinctly worded disclaimers on both of those bottles saying do not mix 'these items' along with a list of chemicals you should not mix it with so she probably could have just looked at the bottle and saved her self a lot of trouble

[@mang0_cat444]

Who looks at the tiny ass reading on the back? I definitely don't 😭

[@mromutt]

@@mang0_cat444 I read that stuff... thats how you dont kill yourself or others. Not only can you not mix many things, many of them also by themselves can burn or kill you if not used properly. You really should be reading the labels on everything not just cleaning stuff. Even things like stains and oils you should read because you could burn your house down because you didnt put it away properly lol.

[@GeoffRBrowne]

Anyone who is not an idiot would know what happens when you mix those chemicals, also all workplaces have MSDS sheets that advise how to handle the chemicals.

[@bengeorge3341]

The “legal reasons” to me probably means that she will be bringing them to court and the update will hopefully be that she won the case and got x amount of money out of them for not training her correctly, herself also being exposed to those chemicals regardless of who made them (once again to little training not her fault) and she said it all with a smile on her facing seeming not even a bit stressed. Pretty sure home girl jus waitin on that checkkk now💯🙏

​@@noahhabbershaw8177 This is a false equivalency. Because training on safety with chemicals that might be used in the workplace is a requirement by US law. But yeah, if you hit your head, and the door didn't have any form of instruction or indication, then yeah, you can sue. Would you win, I don't know but the law doesn't incorporate "common sense". It does however create "common sense" by making a standard to follow.

[@denezebootle]

​@@noahhabbershaw8177 it's almost like you are unaware that special training has to be provided if you are *expected* to do a specific job handling hazardous materials or products that can bot only affect the worker but also the customers unknowingly. By law, they are supposed to be trained instead of assuming she knew not to mix the cleaning products. So why would you equate that with attempting to walk through a closed door? Especially if she is expected to clean, a quick crash course would have helped. But the employers didn't want to train or provide her with a copy of her termination letter. Thats sketchy. Its almost like its their fault 😮

[@chrisxshock]

When I was 16 I worked at a grocery store and they told me to clean the bottle room. I mixed ammonia and bleach thinking I was doing a great job! They were right next to eachother. Anyways, flash forward til the next day and the hazmat team was raiding the bottle room. 😂 I didn’t get fired they laughed it off and just told me not to do that again.

[@seanrasmussen2877]

She almost certainly took those products off the shelf herself, something that Is assuredly against Target's policy. They have chemicals they order from the warehouse both because it is cheaper and safer. It was in her initial training.
