Walmart sucks!  I don't shop there anymore than maybe 2x a year.  The Waltons make 100 Million a day.  Fuck them.




This is why I am all for stealing from Walmart. Fuck that place. They are also very exploitative of their workers. If I had to work at walmart, I would be sure to max slack and help people get stuff for free whenever possible

I still have to shop there a lot because I'm dead broke and its by far the cheapest place in town for most things.

they do chase you out the door here if you keep walking

i knew a guy at my last job that worked store security / theft prevention at walmart and he talked about how they would chase people into the parking lot and detain them even tho everyone says they aren't supposed to. He also said they would ban you from the store if you gave them trouble




Canada or the US?
My roommate back in Saskatoon worked at Co-Op
and their training was that once people passed the doors, only trained security staff were allowed to pursue

he also shoplifted magic cards from wal-mart all the time and would just walk through the beepers and leave

Problem is the person goes to their car and wants to leave, and all of a sudden it's a potentially deadly situation.

We have self check-outs here in the Netherlands. Occasionally you get checked whilst paying.

Supposedly random and they only check a few items. But if you failed to scan something you can bet you are going to be randomly checked again next time.

Still beats waiting in line imo

would presume security staff is trained for situations like that
the (Canadian) news stories posted earlier seemed to suggest that security staff could physically grab you before reaching the car
if they actually witnessed a crime

personally get so bothered by them checking my shit
because of my refusal to use the self-checkouts as it is ridiculous for me to be expected to do an employees work
but since the doors are so far from the cashiers, the person hounding me to check has no idea who went through which
but my hunting camo jacket prolly makes me look more likely to be a delinquent than other customers

:cringeworthy:

no one is "expecting you to do employee work"

Just curious...do you not return shopping carts to the cart port things?  do you leave your food all over the table at fast food places?  do you put your garbage anywhere in a store because they're gonna clean up at night anyway?  I mean, come on...that's kind of a pompous position.

Fair point,
it's not an employee's work anymore when they downsized staff to implement them

Yes, that is another equivalent scenario where my refusal to do a (former) employees work comes up, good example
do not mind the "inconvenience" of interacting with another person

the guy i knew who worked security was in the US, midwest.

from what I've heard, even if they catch you having something you didn't ring up, technically they can't press any charges because you can always claim you didn't know what you were doing or how to work the machine correctly. You're not a trained employee so you can't be held responsible for not operating store machinery properly. Not sure how much that holds up.

A couple days ago I was using the self checkout and the big ass floor scrubber comes rolling through, driving itself. The thing is fully automated at walmart now.... steadily replacing jobs with machines at the mart.

My problem with it, is they eliminated the entire express checkout area in favour of the self-checkout machines
and despite numerous complaints across the country and stories about the issues they are having
they now want to search me on my way out, because their idea has apparently increased theft

even worse is having some piece of clothing with a sensor stitched into it, so I beep going into the store
and they happily wave me in and tell me it's nothing to worry about
but if it beeps on the way back out, it's clearly a signal of some sort of criminality
-_-

Yeah I get that... I was just including some more related info I've heard regarding this whole subject. There are lots of people that make a practice out of exploiting the self checkout to get free / cheaper stuff, a practice I fully endorse. If a huge, mega money making machine like Walmart that exploits workers wants to also implement free labor from its paying customers by way of things like self checkout, then I say by all means make them pay wherever possible. Exploit the system.

Taking shit from Walmart isn’t stealing. It’s reclaiming what has always been rightfully yours.

yeah I thought walmart was profiling me cause they would always ask to see my receipt, but I always kept shit outta my bag, then I learned about their outa bag policy

loblaws tried to say I stole a gateraid once, but I was just reusing the bottle for snake juice
