    I was working at Walmart as the asset protection a few years back when we escorted someone back to our office after a misunderstanding when the self checkout failed
    The lady was so very polite and went right back to pay for the missed items
    2 days later I was fired for not pressing criminal charges and involving law enforcement.
    Mind you this was a single mother with 2 kids. Walmart will forever be a disgusting stain on retail.

      That is exactly what happened to me! The cop didn't even want to arrest me but she didn't have a choice because they were so adamant about pressing charges over about $40 worth of food although the surveillance video clearly showed me scan every single item and the scanner messing up without me noticing. Smh so wrong that they are able to do this to people

      Right, Americans aren't capable of doing these type tasks and one state knows it already and prevents self service gas stations. Laws should say all product exchanges in stores, gas stations, EV recharging as a payment card has to be used, purchase of tickets etc. should all be required to go thru properly trained cashiers that do whatever activities necessary, This will also reduce people on welfare due to the large number of people necessary and the great increase in employment will add lots of taxes to the governments while reducing welfare costs.

      Its interesting that they withheld the video that would have proved her innocence, because this is something that government prosecutors do, and they get away with it. They withhold
      exculpatory evidence routinely, so that they can railroad people through the legal system and they do this because they have prosecutorial immunity. That needs to change. They can and have ruined many people’s lives with no repercussions, even after the person was found to be innocent. Sounds to me like Walmart is reading from the same playbook.

I can tell you from first hand knowledge, that several corporations that get a constant beating, don't necessarily deserve it. The laws that govern what a corporation is and isn't liable for, directly reflect how they have to operate.
      If you owned a business I would hope that it be your goal to always try and look out for the customer. The reality sets in though when you realize the limitations you have legally, as well as how quick an individual can try to bring you down.

      @@akihikosakurai4013 let's take a step back. Think about what is being presented and how it's worded.
      The only time they would need to show the video is at a court hearing. She wasn't accused of stealing 1 or 2 things. She stole several items to include Christmas lights. She won the lottery when Walmarts rep didn't show up to court. For all we know the rep may have hated his job and decided not to show.
      The accused did what any sane person would do and asked that the charges to be dropped. The court figured the Walmart rep didn't care enough to show so their isn't a case therefore ruled "not guilty" by default.
      She had a legal rep that saw this as an opportunity to sue the crap out of Walmart. She was more than likely guilty of stealing being it was multiple items but ends up with a massive payday due to Walmart legal rep that happened to not show that particular day.

Meanwhile my cousin’s 2 year old little cousin did something similar at Walmart and she didn’t know about it till they got home, so she called Walmart up and the guy on the phone told her not to return the item, even if it’s just to pay for it because according to store policy they’d have to mugshot her son and display it on the bulletin board for everyone to see that he’s a “thief”, file a police report against him and possibly press formal charges, and ban him from the store for life...

This woman is saving a lot of people grief, anxiety, humiliation and having their reputation destroyed. Shame on Walmart!!!!! I’m so glad she won this case and I hope she can heal from what they put her through!

      Just check your receipt yourself like you are supposed to and you'll be fine. No need to "never use the self checkout" in your life.
      I mean, you're SUPPOSED TO be checking your purchase making sure the items are as scanned for the price they are advertised after every scan.
      When you pay at the register with cash or card do you do it without listening at the price? Do you get your change back without even checking, at the very least, that it's _around_ what you're supposed to be getting back?
      Well, you're supposed to.
      It's just like driving, just practice common sense (along with adhering to the rules) and you'll be fine.

    My fix is to not shop at Wal-Mart. I watched a new Walmart practically destroy my old small hometowns businesses so fast it seemed planned. Nearly every single small business in the city closed down if they had to compete with Walmart, they went out of business in a year, two years tops. Walmart is not good for cities and towns. Their lure of jobs is a false lure often having devastating impacts on the existing small businesses. Force everyone nearby to work at Wal-Mart due to it being the only job in town at slave wages with garbage benefits. Its been proven over and over again that many of Wal-Marts full time employees still qualify for government assistance. This amounts to the American taxpayer co funding Walmart to underpay its employees at the taxpayers expense. I hate Wal-Mart and seeing videos of them now targeting people for using their garbage self checkout systems is right on queue for this garbage company.

    I was accused of stealing at Walmart when I was 15. My brother just got his first pay check and wanted to get me something nice. I picked a beautiful white dress. He also insisted on stockings and shoes as well. They took us into the back room, dumped out my purse on the floor and then took our items out of the bags and threw them on the floor as well. When I said, “Aw my pretty little dress 😢” the guy said, “huh? This shitty little dress?” Then stepped on it and told me I could pick it up and that he’d wait. Obviously he didn’t find anything. Even after practically making my brother strip down! Then told us to leave and not come back. They sent me a letter to pay $300 or they press criminal charges. I was young and scared so I begged my grandma to help me pay it. Walmart is and will always be trash 🗑
    In my mind, my money is hers now. I’m glad it’s going to good use. Even if it’s 13 years later

      Hearing these horror stories of Walmart makes me feel good that my dad never took me and my brother to Walmart.
      We stuck to Kroger, target and fiesta.
      Walmart seems to be taking advantage of the anxiety people get when accused of crimes. It’s also funny how Walmart employees and security do nothing when a person walks through the door and the alarm goes off but love to accuse people who paid and have a bag and receipt of theft 😬

    Good for her. I used to manage an organization that would allow people to work off court sentences via community service. About half of them were Walmart shoplifters - one lady charged with less than $5 of makeup left in her cart, and once a bag of candy the cashier dropped and put in the bag without scanning. One young man was arrested for buying vanilla because he was too young to buy alcohol - it's in the baking section. Every one of them offered to pay for the items, but instead Walmart said no. I haven't shopped in Walmart since 1986 due to their predatory practices and will never step foot in another one .

They would even tell us to never say “sorry” “my apologies” or anything along those lines when a customer is angry from being wronged. They do not want any liability for anything, even if they did do something wrong. They couldn’t care less. When there is a lawsuit, they will just put the blame on somebody else. Trust me, these people are heartless, and it shows. They’re parasites that only want money.

      I think WM should go back over EACH case they had where people did pay their fee, PROVE they were guilty without a shadow of a doubt and if they cannot, refund their "fine" at 10 times their loss to make them whole again.
      If they do have proof, however, then whatever judgement the courts found against the person should obviously stand unless they requested a retrial and then prove their innocence.

    I haven't stepped foot in a Walmart for years, just because of how they treat their employees, and the huge scandal awhile back where they got caught taking out life insurance policies on their employees so when an elderly door-greeter passed away, Walmart got a paycheck. Absolutely sickening. Sam Walton would be furious at what these greedy corporate scumbags have done to his store; they're pissing on everything he stood for when he built his legacy.

      what is wrong for taking out life insurance policies on employees? There is a cost associated with filling in their spot in the short term and with hiring a replacement. And there could be a survivor death benefit that they fund. Companies call it risk management. This shows that they know that their employees are valuable,

    I worked for Albertsons years ago when they first opened in Florida. I saw the manager of the side of the store where there are no groceries put a camera in a woman's purse. They called him a drug manager. He did not see me. He then proceeded to wait until she walked out. There was a code over the intercom for theft and about ten male employees exploded outside after her. The front end manager walked toward the door and I called out to her. I told her what I saw. She called the grocery manager, the store manager and the police. I remember they had some kind of surveillance back then. She pulled it so that manager could not change it. He was arrested not the customer and almost everyone who worked there was thrilled. We did not like him

Nothing against lawful immigrants willing to start out in the American economy in a thankless job until they can find something better (more power to 'em), but I just wish more would take advantage of free or low-cost ESL training before working in a customer service role, that's all.

    Retailers need to be held accountable, but Walmart's presence and pricing are vital for many communities. While Target might benefit from Walmart's absence, it could lead to job losses, deprive people of an essential store, and reduce competition, ultimately affecting prices.
