iirc you have to pay walmart 10 times the total amount value of items that you stole or walmart takes you to court.

I hate going to Walmart because of their asinine policy of stopping everybody to check their cart and receipt on the way out since apparently they think literally everyone who comes to their store is a potential thief.

i don't agree with walmart's version of a punishment but i think there should be some punishment for committing a crime.

ban from store for X amount of time, that's what safeway does if people steal.

You're not required to show them your receipt. Just walk past.

I have literally never seen anyone stopped unless they set off the alarm. Hell, one Walmart around here seemed to just stop employing door people entirely for a while.

Costco can cancel your membership. Walmart can't.

Okay. This happened to me one time and I never went back. I thought I was being singled out because they let another group walk out. Fuck Walmart and their ineffective excuse for a security force. Theyre as stupid and feckless as you could imagine.

Wait so why shouldnt a shoplifter have to pay 10x the cost of whatever it is they stole? The shoplifter doesnt have to pay, their alternative is a legal case if they so desire... that they will lose because of video footage...

This is a firable offense at Walmart. Basically Walmart would rather pay the thief overhead than deal with the lawsuits either way.

So yeah, no big deal if they catch you because they still ain't doing shit.

I like how your passive aggressive solution was to put up with it and punish yourself by never going to Walmart again. Fitting in your case.

They absolutely will. Walmart presses charges. Myfriends brother got caught stealing a $75 item. They nabbed him with theft and property damage. Plain clothes guy was waiting at the door for him.

He must be an extremely stupid thief. Or a cop was at the door.

It was a program and it was ended last year. You basically pay a few hundred for some educational classes, and in turn, Walmart doesn't press criminal charges. Walmart wouldn't really sue you, they'd just let the law handle the charge and probably recover a small amount for restitution.

It's really no different from how the government does it with traffic violations and whatnot.

I still LOL at those warning pamphlets though.

Shoplifting loss of any amount was no determination on their setting of prices.

We had a chick get fired because she was having her friend come in and what she (the cashier) would do is manually enter in items with lower prices. Let's say a shirt was $10.00, she would manually type it in as shirt and enter a price of $2.00 instead of scanning the actual barcode. And you know the old ass guys / ladies at the door don't know what the hell they're checking on the receipts so they just let them go. Apparently they got away with it for years.

A really terrible version of the internet. I remember having to watch my minutes because they only gave you so much. Plus that damn dial up. 98 was horrible for internet.

They only stop people here if you have an item in your cart that isn't in a bag. Anytime I have a bag of cat food or litter or anything else that won't fit in a bag they ask for my receipt.
