Customer Shares Viral Video of Walmart Employees

A routine shopping trip turned into a humiliating legal nightmare for one Walmart customer after she was wrongly accused of shoplifting

medjournaldaily.com

I wonder who it was that alerted AP to stop her.

That was from December 2023, I wonder how it resolved.

Many years ago, I worked (briefly) at a Walmart and their orientation (in addition to trying to dissaude unions) was to not attempt to intercept suspected shoplifters yourself and let security know to handle it instead.

Clearly their standards have fallen lower if this is the kind of nonsense that employees pull. I have been fortunate to never be accused although they do often check my receipt so quickly it seems they are just looking for the time and date rather than actual list of items.

Always give them extra attention, but don't interfere.

Horrifying! Hope he sued and got a ton of money.

 

[squeekness]

If someone told me I'll still need a winter jacket on June 1, would say BS!

I needed my winter jacket while feeding the cats outside, turn on the heating pads too be warmer later but it was in the upper 30's this morning.

It was brisk here in Cape Cod this morning thought not as cold as yours. It'll reverse itself soon, I'm hearing well be in the 80s in a couple of days. Going to Franklin zoo in Boston on Tuesday. Hope we don't roast.

You're a good man, Morg.

 

[Lily Adler]

Dr. Drew shouldn't be the face of any bogus fitness pills.

You're a good man, Morg.

Tell that to slappy and Mouth, they been smacking me more then usual, I think they are upset I can't do anything about the cold weather

Dude.....I think you are awesome. I wish we had a billion more like you.....with some variations of course.

My friend and mentor who passed away 15 years ago on May Day, once told me (paraphrasing someone else who you might be familiar with) "If we agree on everything, one of us is irrelevant".

Best of luck always and please keep us updated.

Best always.

Bless ya, that's wonderful message to receive & warm thoughts concerning your mentor too.

You are pretty awesome yourself.

Will do on keeping updated and best always back atcha

 

[Mandon Knight]

Sounds awesome and I hope you keep funded. We need agencies like you more than ever.

Thanks Squeeks, we've just had more funding & we have fund-raised for suicide awareness and made £235,000 on our last project so things are secure for the forseeable future.

You just need some decent sleep.

 

[ComicChick]

You just need some decent sleep.

lord knows that is part of it. i've had someone at my house doing brick work on my front porch so at 8am every day the chainsaw, drills etc start. and i'd been getting off at 1130, 12am a few nights this week in preparation for a big VIP visit.

went extremely well btw, and it was kinda cool to me that he recognized me from other events i've been sent in to prepare and assist on at other locations

 

[squeekness]

Contractors that early would drive me crazy too. I'm not an early riser myself.

[squeekness]

The cayenne pepper lady needs to go away with her claims that it saved someone's life.

She sounds like the perfect candidate for a future Hot Ones interview.

 

[Teelie]

She'll be the new Health Secretary before long.

Yuck! Had to get up early to beat the rain that's now coming, the cats are fed and I move things around so the bowls stay dry, not sure about tomorrow. Looks like the rain hits just as soon it's light and stays awhile. I hate getting wet
