MrBeast has revealed the reason why he was asked to leave a Walmart in the past. The YouTuber shared how a simple fan interaction can escalate into a more dire situation in public.
MrBeast talks about getting kicked out of Walmart
Jimmy Donaldson, best known as MrBeast, recently opened up about the challenges of clicking pictures with fans in public. During the January 15 episode of Steve-O’s Wild Ride! podcast, the internet star opened up about an incident that landed him in trouble at a Walmart.
“If someone asks you for a photo… and you go yes and then you let them hand the phone to their mom, you’re cooked,” MrBeast stated. “It’s like a fucking flare in the middle of Walmart for everyone to start lining up, just ruining our trip.”
The star YouTuber went on to explain how situations can quickly spiral out of control if multiple fans gather for photos without proper organization.
“You have to understand, it’s a death sentence if it’s not quick. Because, again, when you take photos in public, it causes everyone to turn and look, and lines form, and then it just gets bad because once a line forms. People just want a photo because other people are getting a photo,” Donaldson said. “I’ve literally been kicked out of a Walmart because of it.”
However, MrBeast emphasized that he loves to interact with his fans and holds no resentment towards them. “We like our fans, and we’re not pieces of s**t, it’s just a factual thing,” Donaldson clarified. “If we don’t take it quick enough, things just go bad, and it’s something that’s very hard to understand, but you’ve just got to take our words for it,” he added.
MrBeast then detailed how he has a “conveyor belts of systems” in place to ensure smooth interaction with fans. The star revealed that he has clicked thousands of photos with his fans with the help of this system. “It really makes a difference because then those people leave and they’re like, ‘Holy shit, that was a really cool experience,’ as opposed to just like, ‘Oh, it was whatever,’” he explained.
