Cost her? Possibly future work for her business. Area DA CAN AND WOULD be able to get security footage. If Walmart says they no longer have it or continue to refuse DA should file against them. I hope she wins.

Okay I used to work at retail. The person who is most likely stealing is a manager or a clerk. If they check past cameras half the store will be fired including manager.
I worked for (and was fired from - because i was a whistleblower) a Family Dollar. Our GM let her felonious lover come in and (not as an employee of FD) unload the trucks. Over the course of 6 months $60,000 worth of merch went into her camaro and to God knows where because we were a small store in the poor section of town that no one wanted to mess with. I can say without a doubt it was the manager trying to cover their hind ends and Walmart on a corporate level letting their individual stores run wild. They could care less about loss prevention. It's an insurance write off on merch they are making a 300% or more profit on to begin with. Employees 'damage out' goods day in and day out to buy them themselves at a discounted (usually half) price. I hope she makes them pay. They'll write that off as insurance too.

@@gerdavandersan2018 good point and we'll put. The Walmart made a fatal mistake trying to treat a white woman like a black person. The mainstream media always try and show that white people go thru similar struggles as blacks here. Smdh not true as we all know. It is only fuel to the ws and wss fire. It gives them more of an opportunity to say we should just b blindly obedient it will turn out just like this. We all know the justice system is built to allow white offenders to b multiple offenders while blacks get life for one crime (at a smaller level).
Yes. I have heard about. A black woman asking for a refund and she have the receipt to prove it. And she gets put in handcuffs by the police. It's a very embarrassing situation and it hurts to be accused of shoplifting in a store especially when you paid for the items you purchased and have the sales slips on you. The manager is still not convinced. The store banned you for life. It's hard to get cleared of those charges of shoplifting. If the store have surveillance cameras on the woman the whole time. Then the video footage should have been enough proof. She didn't take nothing she have paid for. When you didn't take nothing you have paid for. The manager told the woman who he accused of shoplifting not to come back to the store no more. I'll say this. What about the store employees, they steal too. I won't go back to that store never again. The woman who was accused of shoplifting in a department store should never accept no apologies from the corporate headquarters of the department store. Technically all department stores have that right to ban a person from their property for life whether he or she have shoplifted in the store or not. It's going to be a huge law suit with the three parties involved.
Haven't shopped at a Walmart in years.. They're destructive to small businesses in thier communities..they use illegal labor practices for which they've been sued for Wisconsin- and lost... And the pay is low..the attitudes and professionalism of staff is very uneven..some associates are so glued to thier cellphones they can't be bothered with customers
In my state, being falsely accused of shoplifting is a massive civil tort - stores have been successfully sued for it. This Walmart is demonstrating a "pattern and practice" of falsely accusing/trespassing innocent, paying customers.
@@shawncarroll5255 As far as I know, a business is civilly liable in any state if they falsely arrest somebody for theft. Being detained by store security personnel against your will is the same as being arrested. In this case, it 'appears' she was never detained, just served the ban by the PD. The store may still be liable for defamation of character.

Id.... ....ii. Lack of “Reasonable Cause” In Thomas v. Schwegmann Giant Supermarket, Inc., the court found that Schwegmann Supermarket lacked reasonable cause to detain the plaintiff, a suspected shoplifter, and thus, civil immunity from liability for false imprisonment was not applicable. 561 So.2d 992 (La. App. 4 Cir. 1990). The Thomas security guard detained the plaintiff for theft of glue from a false nail kit where the kit did not in fact contain glue. Id. The court reasoned there was not reasonable cause to detain the customer because the security guard, who had thirteen years of experience in the field and was a former member of the city police department, should have inspected the package in question before detaining the customer and accusing the customer of theft. Id. A. Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 215-Immunity to Store Merchants and Their Agents Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 215(A) permits a merchant or authorized employee or agent to stop a customer who is suspected of shoplifting for questioning or verification of payment and subsequently hold such customer for arrest. The article gives quasi- police powers to merchants and their agents and gives them immunity from civil and criminal liability when such merchant has reasonable cause to believe that a theft of goods has occurred on the premises. La. C.Cr.P. art. 215, cmt. (e); Vaughn v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 98-1215 (La. App. 5 Cir. 4/27/99); 734 So.2d 156, 159 citing McNeely v. Nat’l Tea Co., 94-392 (La. App 5 Cir. 3/28/95); 653 So.2d 1231, writ denied, 95-1531 (La. 9/29/95); 660 So.2d 880. La. C.Cr.P. art. 215(A) provides: A. (1) A peace officer, merchant, or a specifically authorized employee or agent of a merchant, may use reasonable force to detain a person for questioning on the merchant’s premises, for a length of time, not to exceed sixty minutes, unless it is reasonable under the circumstances that the person be detained longer, when he has reasonable cause to believe that the person has committed a theft of goods held for sale by the merchant, regardless of the actual value of the goods. The merchant or his employee or agent may also detain such a person for arrest by a peace officer. The detention shall not constitute an arrest. Therefore, for a merchant to be afforded immunity under La. C.Cr.P. art. 215 in connection with the detention of a person suspected of shoplifting for questioning the following is required: (1) the person effecting the detention must be a peace officer, a merchant, or a specifically authorized employee of the merchant; (2) the party making the detention must have a reasonable cause to believe the detained person has committed theft of goods held for sale by the merchant; (3) unreasonable force may not be used in detaining the suspect for interrogation; (4) the detention must occur on the merchant’s premises; and (5) the detention may not last longer than sixty minutes, unless it is reasonable under the circumstances that the person be detained longer.

THis is not a good way to treat PAYING customers. The people that made a false police report should be charged and fired. Walmart needs to apologize publicly for this FAST...
Well if they were following her on the camera’s, wouldn’t they see her at the register paying for her items? Not to mention the person at the door checking receipts, would’ve verified she paid. Seems a bit much.
She was banned for a "hypothetical crime" being committed. Sounds almost exactly like police behavior. "We stop you for "suspicious activity," and you fit the description of the suspisious activity in the area so I need to see some ID, or your gonna go to jail." Make them pay for their transgressions.
My dad went through that, no footage, still full racks, and more product accused of being stolen than David Copperfield could get into a backpack full of work clothes. Only thing they had was an associate saying she saw him doing it who they caught stealing 3 tv's a week later. They lost 50+ regular customers And the kicker, she did not report it for 3 days. That is highly suspicious.
I would contact a attorney ASAP. She has constitutional rights and how embarrassing. You just can't accuse people then tresspass when you don't know for sure if they are guilty.
I hope she refused to sign the trespass warning paper issued by Titusville police and if Walmart did that to me what they did to that lady I would boy cott the company and find a way to cause trouble with this company
The lady was mistaken for someone they suspected was a habitual thief. Listen to the loss prevention recording. Dunno if she’s the right person or not, but this is where its coming from. They think she’s a repeat thief.
There are other ways than suing to deliver justice. My husband, who's a professional MMA fighter, would be waiting for both the loss prevention guy, AND the manager, outside the store, when they got off work.
It's been over a week, they have probably wiped it -continuous re-recording on a 7 day loop because she was not charged -therefore the video was not needed as evidence. Companies do this all the time and seem to get away with it.
KENT ROBINSON Not to mention that stupid robot thing that cruises the aisles and you can’t get your cart past it. You redirect and go down another aisle there’s that damned robot.
I would like to find out if there is a pattern of bullying in the towns they have invaded and put most mom and pop stores out of work and they are basically the only game in town !
Yes it can happen to anyone. I had a friend whos purse broke, leaving the Walmart after already buying food She was rushing, so she bought a tote instead of a purse. The security guard refused to let her leave and made a huge problem. Even though the cashier told him she bought it as well as she showing the receipt. It's the ego of the person. He was fired she was allowed to leave, after 30 minutes. She missed her ride and appointment.
At least he was held accountable and fired, so kudos to the management at that Walmart for doing the right thing. A lot depends upon whether the managers at a particular location are people of good or bad character.
I hope she sues successfully. Isn't that defamation? I think it is! That is embarrassing and humiliating. If she had stolen something they would have found it on her!
How embarrassing being accused of stealing when in fact you have the receipt and still get a no trespassing on your record. This lady is a working women that this could possibly cost her in future jobs and opportunities. This lawsuit is going to be strict bc of the laws and if her lawyer can in fact get the store footage. Also the police even stated that she believed that she didn’t steal and have no proof. This lady had eyes on her everytime she stepped foot in that store. If there is a no trespassing for ALL Walmart’s instead of the one in her neighborhood then she will have a higher chance of winning this case also her picture is in the back where all the employees can see but no proof of ever no wrong doings. I simply wish her nothing but the very best and I hope that she wins her case with the lawsuit.
Cops use to be peace officers. There was a time when they would help both parties get along. Now they just do whatever the business (especially multi billion dollar ones) tells them, even when they know the business is wrong.
Walmart will never admit to being wrong. I have worked there, and they will back up AP people who have been clearly proven wrong in court, and refuse to rehire employees back that lost their jobs over false accusations.
This happen to a friend when we went to Walmart, security approached him about shoplifting an item and wanted to search him. He told them to call the Police and he would let them search him but he wanted a Police Report of the event so when they found nothing he could Sue them. They dropped the issue right there and couldn't apologize fast enough to him as they let him leave the store, he stole nothing from them. The Police being there worked in this woman's favor for her lawsuit.
I’m adopted. My mother is white, I myself her daughter, is black. Any time if my mother hands me bags to hold when we walk out of the store with groceries that we paid for, I always ask my mom if she has the receipt and put it in the bag. She’s always unaware of why I ask, and she won’t get to know cause I know she wouldn’t understand. But yeah.
I've been looking for an update, I know exactly how she feels, I've never taken a penny, but was accused. I recall the feeling of seeing a police car and being afraid. Go get 'em!
If retailers are court ordered to pay huge cash settlements by innocently accessed then the court needs to order the same amount of settlements by thieves to pay retailers.
I've been looking for an update too, and it appears that this case is still slowly grinding its way through the legal system three years later. The victim's name is Robin Marsh and the designation for her lawsuit she filed against Walmart is "MARSH et al v. WALMART, INC." You can use that information to google for updates as they occur. I found some updates on the docket for this case about a week before I posted this reply (March 18, 2022) so it still appears to be ongoing and unresolved.
I had Walmart pharmacy in Texas switch out my pain pills with duds but there was nothing I could really do about it. Somebody got 180 pills which were worth about $2000 dollars street value. I guess they had a pretty good incentive ?
Wow, that's really scary!! An unsuspecting customer could get hurt, or perhaps even lose their life, if they received duds instead of a medication their life depends upon, or those "duds" contain a harmful substance. I hope whoever did that got caught and went to prison. Tampering with medication is extremely dangerous.
Sorry but no again unless you are the member of a club store they are unable to detain you from leaving. They can ask all they want but you do not have to show it. Now if they want to try and detain you from leaving so that the police can “deal” with this issue false imprisonment which can lead to civil and possible fed charges
Ironically Walmart sells the reusable bags. They also don’t handle firearms safely. I have been laughed at for pointing out their unsafe practices to them many times.
and just to let everyone know..you do not have to give ID for a trespass warning. just leave.the only time you need to ID is for a traffic citation or you have been legally arrested.
Damn I did have a teacher that had that experience in the 6th grade! I couldn't believe it! But I feel all of you! As my own family has done it to me and I'm hispanic!!!

He can be fired but not arrested
He knowingly filed a false police report with a u.s. government agency, which is a felony. He now can be arrested.
So when the employee realized they were wrong, instead of apologizing, they went into cover up mode.
"loss prevention" think they are cops...hence the cop like cover up mode
Yep can’t admit they were wrong. Classic
That's what having a big ego does to you...:(((

I won't go back to that store never again. The woman who was accused of shoplifting in a department store should never accept no apologies from the corporate headquarters of the department store. Technically all department stores have that right to ban a person from their property for life whether he or she have shoplifted in the store or not. It's going to be a huge law suit with the three parties involved.
Turn those tears into cash...get that money.. Make them pay
Shake that money tree
I would sue Walmart, but I would still never shop there again. In fact, I think I won't shop there again.
I agree with you completely!
shkunk1
Don’t know about your Walmart, the shelves are always empty at mine so I don’t shop there.
This is one of many reasons I avoid going to Walmart if at all possible.
Haven't shopped at a Walmart in years..
They're destructive to small businesses in thier communities..they use illegal labor practices for which they've been sued for Wisconsin- and lost...
And the pay is low..the attitudes and professionalism of staff is very uneven..some associates are so glued to thier cellphones they can't be bothered with customers
She proved that she bought everything and they still ban her from the store, that is called Bullying! Way to go Wal-mart!
In my state, being falsely accused of shoplifting is a massive civil tort - stores have been successfully sued for it. This Walmart is demonstrating a "pattern and practice" of falsely accusing/trespassing innocent, paying customers.
What state?
@@shawncarroll5255 As far as I know, a business is civilly liable in any state if they falsely arrest somebody for theft. Being detained by store security personnel against your will is the same as being arrested.
In this case, it 'appears' she was never detained, just served the ban by the PD.
The store may still be liable for defamation of character.

Specifically, subsection (B) provides:
If a merchant utilizes electronic devices which are designed to detect the
unauthorized removal of marked merchandise from the store, and if sufficient
notice has been posted to advise the patrons that such a device is being utilized, a
signal from the device to the merchant or his employee or agent indicating the
removal of specially marked merchandise shall constitute a sufficient basis for
reasonable cause to detain the person.
Therefore, sufficient reasonable cause to detain a person pursuant to La. C.Cr.P. art. 215 occurs
when: (1) sufficient notice is posted to advise patrons that an electronic device designed to detect
the unauthorized removal of marked merchandise from the store is being utilized; and (2) a signal from the device to the merchant or his employee or agent indicating the removal of
specifically market merchandise. La. C.Cr.P. art. 215(B).
a. Patron’s Guilt or Innocence is Immaterial to “Reasonable Cause”
“[R]easonable cause” for purposes of article 215 is not based upon the store patron’s

a secluded part of the store and saw one of the plaintiffs reaching into a bag. Id. The court
further reasoned that the stop was reasonable because once it was confirmed that a theft had not
taken place, plaintiffs were free to go. Id. at 161-62.
In Freeman v. Kar Way, Inc., the court held that the defendant-merchant had “reasonable
cause” for a detention pursuant to La. C.Cr.P. art. 215 even though the detention revealed that
plaintiff did not have stolen merchandise on her person. 96-8 (La. App. 3 Cir. 11/6/96); 686
So.2d 51, writ denied, 970524 (La. 4/18/97); 692 So.2d 429. The court reasoned that the store
employees had reasonable cause to suspect the plaintiff of shoplifting after they saw the plaintiff
near the earring counter, lift her shirt, and place her hand under it. Id.
In Estorge v. Schwegmann Giant Supermarkets, Inc., the court found that the defendant-
merchant had reasonable cause to detain three customers for twenty-five minutes despite the fact
that the detention revealed that plaintiffs had not committed a theft. 604 So.2d 1012 (1992). The
court reasoned that the store employees had reasonable cause to suspect the customers of
shoplifting after they observed plaintiffs pick up a carton of cigarettes, later found an empty
carton of the same brand of cigarettes in another area of the store, observed one of the customers
putting something in his pocket and then putting it back on the shelf, and observed that same
customer with a bulge in his pocket the size of two packs of cigarettes. Id. signal from the device to the merchant or his employee or agent indicating the removal of

....ii. Lack of “Reasonable Cause”
In Thomas v. Schwegmann Giant Supermarket, Inc., the court found that Schwegmann
Supermarket lacked reasonable cause to detain the plaintiff, a suspected shoplifter, and thus, civil
immunity from liability for false imprisonment was not applicable. 561 So.2d 992 (La. App. 4
Cir. 1990). The Thomas security guard detained the plaintiff for theft of glue from a false nail
kit where the kit did not in fact contain glue. Id. The court reasoned there was not reasonable
cause to detain the customer because the security guard, who had thirteen years of experience in
the field and was a former member of the city police department, should have inspected the
package in question before detaining the customer and accusing the customer of theft. Id.
A. Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 215-Immunity to Store
Merchants and Their Agents
Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 215(A) permits a merchant or authorized
employee or agent to stop a customer who is suspected of shoplifting for questioning or
verification of payment and subsequently hold such customer for arrest. The article gives quasi-
police powers to merchants and their agents and gives them immunity from civil and criminal
liability when such merchant has reasonable cause to believe that a theft of goods has occurred
on the premises. La. C.Cr.P. art. 215, cmt. (e); Vaughn v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 98-1215 (La.
App. 5 Cir. 4/27/99); 734 So.2d 156, 159 citing McNeely v. Nat’l Tea Co., 94-392 (La. App 5
Cir. 3/28/95); 653 So.2d 1231, writ denied, 95-1531 (La. 9/29/95); 660 So.2d 880.
La. C.Cr.P. art. 215(A) provides:
A. (1) A peace officer, merchant, or a specifically authorized employee or agent
of a merchant, may use reasonable force to detain a person for questioning on the
merchant’s premises, for a length of time, not to exceed sixty minutes, unless it is
reasonable under the circumstances that the person be detained longer, when he
has reasonable cause to believe that the person has committed a theft of goods
held for sale by the merchant, regardless of the actual value of the goods. The
merchant or his employee or agent may also detain such a person for arrest by a
peace officer. The detention shall not constitute an arrest.
Therefore, for a merchant to be afforded immunity under La. C.Cr.P. art. 215 in
connection with the detention of a person suspected of shoplifting for questioning the following
is required: (1) the person effecting the detention must be a peace officer, a merchant, or a
specifically authorized employee of the merchant; (2) the party making the detention must have a
reasonable cause to believe the detained person has committed theft of goods held for sale by the
merchant; (3) unreasonable force may not be used in detaining the suspect for interrogation; (4)
the detention must occur on the merchant’s premises; and (5) the detention may not last longer
than sixty minutes, unless it is reasonable under the circumstances that the person be detained
longer. La. C.Cr.P. art. 215; Rhymes v. Winn-Dixie Louisiana, Inc., 2010-1357 (La. App. 3 Cir.
3/9/11); 58 So.3d 1068.
Then in your State People caught stealing should also pay amounts the courts order retail stores to shell out for mistakenly accusing shoplifters.
I hope they win the lawsuit because Walmart is out of line.They are always accusing innocent people of stealing.
THis is not a good way to treat PAYING customers. The people that made a false police report should be charged and fired. Walmart needs to apologize publicly for this FAST...
Walmart just killing their business yet again...I really hate going there because of the poor treatment and bad customer service.
Just dont shop there dont give them your money
I rarely do go the only reason is for my hot wheels collectibles.
I hope more and more of us stop shopping there.
I don't go to Wal-Mart very much anymore. It's NOT the store it use to be.
Hopefully the Walmart manager was arrested for false police report.
Of course they werent...
Manager should at least be fired. Such incompetence on full display should never be tolerated nor encouraged.
Never
I hope she gets a big settlement.
This literally just happened to me. They don’t care. You don’t know how low and disgusting it makes you feel.
❤❤❤
Two words, "WALMART STINKS",
Ban Walmart in the U.S.
I agree
Sam Walton is rolling in his grave over this.
glad she is suing. walmart is the devil.
Worse is coming. Ask them about the Bluetooth beacons.
Well if they were following her on the camera’s, wouldn’t they see her at the register paying for her items? Not to mention the person at the door checking receipts, would’ve verified she paid. Seems a bit much.
they can watch you pay for the items in person and still accuse you of theft
The managment their are plain morons.
Not if wall mart edits it out.
This lady is hurt and embarrassed. Good for her for standing up for herself.
She was banned for a "hypothetical crime" being committed. Sounds almost exactly like police behavior. "We stop you for "suspicious activity," and you fit the description of the suspisious activity in the area so I need to see some ID, or your gonna go to jail." Make them pay for their transgressions.
My dad went through that, no footage, still full racks, and more product accused of being stolen than David Copperfield could get into a backpack full of work clothes. Only thing they had was an associate saying she saw him doing it who they caught stealing 3 tv's a week later. They lost 50+ regular customers
And the kicker, she did not report it for 3 days. That is highly suspicious.
Yes it can happen. I was accused of shoplifting.
❤❤❤❤
I would contact a attorney ASAP. She has constitutional rights and how embarrassing. You just can't accuse people then tresspass when you don't know for sure if they are guilty.
Or when you know for sure that they are not guilty.
Oh no, that's not the walmart way, those corprite bullies, guilty then u prove if u were innocent, and this is from experience..
Trespassing has nothing to do with the US Constitution...geez.
@@chucksmith7292 Ummm I think they're referring to the part of the constitution where it says "innocent until proven guilty"
Did you not watchM
What lesson have we learned? Never shop Walmart...
Walmart is deteriorating so fast why would you go there? I know, they plant stores in areas that are so rural you don't have a choice.
and This is one of many reasons Walmart should go out of business and be banned from the World.
Yessssss, I agree 💯!!!!
I hope she refused to sign the trespass warning paper issued by Titusville police and if Walmart did that to me what they did to that lady I would boy cott the company and find a way to cause trouble with this company
I hate Walmart
same here
I would have to agree I get treated like a criminal any time I go to any Walmart
This was traumatic for her. Imagine always having to worry about this every time you walk into a store.
The lady was mistaken for someone they suspected was a habitual thief. Listen to the loss prevention recording. Dunno if she’s the right person or not, but this is where its coming from. They think she’s a repeat thief.
I can see suing them for damages, but I certainly wouldn’t want to go in there.
There are other ways than suing to deliver justice. My husband, who's a professional MMA fighter, would be waiting for both the loss prevention guy, AND the manager, outside the store, when they got off work.
Welcome to our world.
Ok this happen to a black woman for asking for a refund ! 🤷🏾♀️
She should file an independent lawsuit against the manager as well. Defamation of character.
You didn't watch the video did you?
"Okay, have a better day," 😂😂 WTF
There is like 100 cameras in the store. *DON'T TELL ME THAT THEY CAN'T COME UP WITH VIDEO*
KENT ROBINSON yeah! Absolutely. The principal is, they know they are wrong and such video would go viral. Shame on them.
There is a reason that they won't show the video. It proves that Walmart screwed up.
They won't provide proof of there mistake.
It's been over a week, they have probably wiped it -continuous re-recording on a 7 day loop because she was not charged -therefore the video was not needed as evidence. Companies do this all the time and seem to get away with it.
KENT ROBINSON
Not to mention that stupid robot thing that cruises the aisles and you can’t get your cart past it. You redirect and go down another aisle there’s that damned robot.
I would like to find out if there is a pattern of bullying in the towns they have invaded and put most mom and pop stores out of work and they are basically the only game in town !
This is from April last year. Has there been any update on the case?
I was looking for the same
I was baned from walmart 21 years ago. I'm good. I would not show my receipt.
Yes it can happen to anyone. I had a friend whos purse broke, leaving the Walmart after already buying food She was rushing, so she bought a tote instead of a purse. The security guard refused to let her leave and made a huge problem. Even though the cashier told him she bought it as well as she showing the receipt. It's the ego of the person. He was fired she was allowed to leave, after 30 minutes. She missed her ride and appointment.
At least he was held accountable and fired, so kudos to the management at that Walmart for doing the right thing. A lot depends upon whether the managers at a particular location are people of good or bad character.
Fatbsu❤❤
I’m surprised they even said anything to her at all , maybe someone’s on inside helping her to sue ! 🤔
The manager needs to be fired and this woman needs to sue them for everything they have.
I hope she sues successfully. Isn't that defamation? I think it is! That is embarrassing and humiliating.
If she had stolen something they would have found it on her!
She’s going back to Walmart and will never leave
I need that lawyer. I get treated like this all the time because I have autism.
As if you would ever want to go back after that.
How embarrassing being accused of stealing when in fact you have the receipt and still get a no trespassing on your record. This lady is a working women that this could possibly cost her in future jobs and opportunities. This lawsuit is going to be strict bc of the laws and if her lawyer can in fact get the store footage. Also the police even stated that she believed that she didn’t steal and have no proof. This lady had eyes on her everytime she stepped foot in that store. If there is a no trespassing for ALL Walmart’s instead of the one in her neighborhood then she will have a higher chance of winning this case also her picture is in the back where all the employees can see but no proof of ever no wrong doings. I simply wish her nothing but the very best and I hope that she wins her case with the lawsuit.
Meanwhile 100 other people are stealing from Walmart right now as we speak hilarious.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Just 100.🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@staceyearle2817 At each one🤫🤭
Walmart treats you like a criminal when you use self checkout. When you go out the door I had to prove I paid for all items
❤❤❤
lucky lady given the chance to never be bullied again.
I hope she gets a nice big settlement.
If retail stores are court ordered to pay huge cash settlements then courts also need to order the same compensations from theives to retailers
I banned Walmart years ago. Havent bought anything from them in years.
She is getting paid...let's see her smile on pay day
Cops use to be peace officers. There was a time when they would help both parties get along. Now they just do whatever the business (especially multi billion dollar ones) tells them, even when they know the business is wrong.
Walmart gets big tax breaks, and when they expire, the store closes. And leave a building abandoned.
They are scum, and I never shop there
Fun fact. Walmart was open on New Year’s Eve, and their employees don’t get holiday pay
New years eve isnt a holiday, nor is Christmas eve.
I went through the same exact thing. I also won a fair law suit against Walmart.
Walmart will never admit to being wrong. I have worked there, and they will back up AP people who have been clearly proven wrong in court, and refuse to rehire employees back that lost their jobs over false accusations.
They declined a request from the defense? Oh boy that is trouble
Our hero’s in blue, saved the day again!
I hope that she sues for millions.
This happen to a friend when we went to Walmart, security approached him about shoplifting an item and wanted to search him. He told them to call the Police and he would let them search him but he wanted a Police Report of the event so when they found nothing he could Sue them. They dropped the issue right there and couldn't apologize fast enough to him as they let him leave the store, he stole nothing from them. The Police being there worked in this woman's favor for her lawsuit.
This is why I always make sure I have my receipt it all times before I leave the store.
I’m adopted. My mother is white, I myself her daughter, is black. Any time if my mother hands me bags to hold when we walk out of the store with groceries that we paid for, I always ask my mom if she has the receipt and put it in the bag. She’s always unaware of why I ask, and she won’t get to know cause I know she wouldn’t understand. But yeah.
I've been looking for an update, I know exactly how she feels, I've never taken a penny, but was accused. I recall the feeling of seeing a police car and being afraid. Go get 'em!
If retailers are court ordered to pay huge cash settlements by innocently accessed then the court needs to order the same amount of settlements by thieves to pay retailers.
I've been looking for an update too, and it appears that this case is still slowly grinding its way through the legal system three years later. The victim's name is Robin Marsh and the designation for her lawsuit she filed against Walmart is "MARSH et al v. WALMART, INC." You can use that information to google for updates as they occur. I found some updates on the docket for this case about a week before I posted this reply (March 18, 2022) so it still appears to be ongoing and unresolved.
I had Walmart pharmacy in Texas switch out my pain pills with duds but there was nothing I could really do about it. Somebody got 180 pills which were worth about $2000 dollars street value. I guess they had a pretty good incentive ?
Wow, that's really scary!! An unsuspecting customer could get hurt, or perhaps even lose their life, if they received duds instead of a medication their life depends upon, or those "duds" contain a harmful substance. I hope whoever did that got caught and went to prison. Tampering with medication is extremely dangerous.
The only Walmart’s that you need to show a receipt is if it’s a “Club Store” a regular store can not stop and ask or prevent you from leaving.
ANY store can ask you for a receipt
Sorry but no again unless you are the member of a club store they are unable to detain you from leaving. They can ask all they want but you do not have to show it. Now if they want to try and detain you from leaving so that the police can “deal” with this issue false imprisonment which can lead to civil and possible fed charges
Ironically Walmart sells the reusable bags.
They also don’t handle firearms safely.
I have been laughed at for pointing out their unsafe practices to them many times.
Helidude350 yeah but their slowly getting rid of guns. And that’s why I chose NOT to buy anything from them. Well that and many other reasons.
Sue the hell out of Walmart..........
On another note, the three women are dressed up as Powerpuff girls.
I avoid Walmart like the plague and this woman is crying because shes banned.
She should sue the cops too !!
Filing a false report too. Arrest the manager
$30 millions lawsuit would repair that damage
Most retail theft is a result of employee theft, yet they bother their customers with this bs.
This makes you not want to go to Walmart.
And black customers get bullied at Wal-Marts even more ... its such a norm for us that lawsuits don't even cross our minds
So true !!
The law needs to changed so a business can not ban anyone without a solid verified reason.
I boycotted Walmart long ago over their stand on guns and ammo. Screw Wally world.
Walmart needs to stop the b/s.
and just to let everyone know..you do not have to give ID for a trespass warning. just leave.the only time you need to ID is for a traffic citation or you have been legally arrested.
Now she's not only suing Walmart she's suing manager of store personal that what everyone needs to do
Wonder how many innocent shoppers that manager has banned for “theft”?
It's Walmart, who cares, there are other places to shop and get the same thing with less hassle.
Shiverin Gaming
True dad. Though my “caring” part isn’t about the availability of shopping options.
Shouldn't the MGMT be present to review the receipt
After I was falsely accused of stealing in front of my kids and embarrassed to the core I have NEVER been back to any Walmart anywhere
Not ONLY did they falsely accused her of shoplifting.......they accused her of being a SERIAL shoplifter......with NO EVIDENCE!!!! 😡😡😡🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Welcome to the being black experience!!!
You are a racist!
I’d say blacks are more racist
Damn I did have a teacher that had that experience in the 6th grade! I couldn't believe it! But I feel all of you! As my own family has done it to me and I'm hispanic!!!
id sue wal mart and the cops for slander
I think it’s time for every Walmart in America to be boycotted.
Welcome to my black man's America.
Racist much?
Except she has a career and can sue unlike unemployed morons thinking people owe them something
You don't have to be black and unemployed this could happen to you I was accused a lot of time like this woman at 19 being hispanic and employed!!!
Not since 1992. No Wal-Mart for me or mine...period.
Time to close down Walmart, too many problems. Just stop buying from Walmart ( period ).
Welcome to our everyday
Because you people steal at the drop of a penny.
@@jonclarkson5911 really, yr one of those ignorant f**ks
Good that the police verify she didn't take anything sue them defamation embarrassing
the Store can ban someone, but the cop does not have to arrest the person. Or comply with a criminal trespass.
you dont expect a receipt for items bought would be proof that you paid for it now would you? especially to a cop.....
