When an $0.89 discrepancy cost you $4,400,000.00.
One too many zeroes
Oregon law says the state attorney general's office will retain 70 freaking percent of his award
@@crothert xD "44 000 000" That's a lot. Is that what is? Walmart has the best deals indeed!
Lol
Yeah,thanks to a faulty employee,but,they knew he what he was doing-SERVES"EM right.Even the police were tired of him.
So he had a history of making false accusations against customers and they still kept him on the job sounds a lot like law enforcement
That is why they had to pay so much. Law enforcement didn't do bad in this one.
basically
They recruited him!
Yep
I bet they now wished they dealt with him before the $4m loss.
$4.4mil?! My man now has fridge light bulbs for life!!!
Bro life ? More like 30 generations
😂
Nice! 😂😂😂
More than half of that probably going into his attorney's pockets
@@speedyme200 Worth it tho
This happens a lot. Have the guts to file a lawsuit. Make them pay.
And the INDIVIDUAL, the cops should explain WHY they took a side , they had no LEGAL grounds to take side and thus should either adequately explain this or be fired
Yeah but they make it impossible they make you go through so many hoops to hope you give up
@@user-ow9oq9zb9n Burner account.
If this security guard has repeated incidents the lawyer should have included him in the lawsuit.
WE pay.
People that call in false information should be automatically charged with misuse of emergency services or something similar.
I almost want to agree but unfortunately that dissuades people from calling 911 in serious instances. It's the same reason they quit arresting people for calling 911 for overdoses.
In the U.K. and Ireland its an offence to call the police with a time wasting call .
@@tugboat6940 In U.K. its an offense to call the police for nothing or to make a false allegation and you will be prosecuted, people still call the police for real incidents.
@@garryellison I mean there's literally no way for you to know how many people have been dissuaded from calling. I'm making an assumption based off a similar situation.
@@tugboat6940 Your right I have no idea but neither do you and America seems to have an issue with idiots calling the police for non crimes , In the U.K we don't because if you call them for nothing you would be charged for wasting police time an that stops the Karen Brigade that America seems to have , an your police aren't really a help.
That security guard looks like he lives in his mother's basement. This is empowering to him.
Exactly!!!Great point! Keep guns away from these types. He looks like he’d shoot someone for suggesting that he bathe more often.
looking like a discord mod
Definately a power trip...
They're supposed to blend in with lost prevention.
Just look at him, did he was or brush his hair in the morning
This $10 light bulb ended up costing Walmart $4,400,000 + legal fees!!!
Rest assured, if you shop Wal Mart, you’re helping that debt to be paid. 😂
He wont see that money for a long time.
appeal after appeal until the guy is broke and cant fight anymore. Then settle for much less.
Doesn't cost no $10
Not just the 4.4 mil lost, but legal fees. VERY expensive bulb. Bet it NEVER goes out!
walmart founders are rich..this a drop in the bucket for them
If Walmart knew the employee had a history of fabrication, why wasn't something done before it came to this? Responsibility, accountability, and respect are rapidly disappearing in our society...smh
I worked for Walmart for over 10 years and from experience they like to hire incompetent supervisors who refuse to do their job. It’s almost like a high school atmosphere.
you literally need food stamps to survive whilst working at wall mart. they will take anyone.
Not to mention common business sense😅, and it cost them a few million
Because that’s minor. They care about money not discrimination lol
cost of a lightbulb cost them 4mil lmaooo. people that make false accusations to the police need to be fined and charged with something, and fired from their job
Imagine not being able to keep a job at Walmart, how embarrassing.
clearly you are a bot and have never worked for a living. walmart is an insanely toxic environment. only do the time you have to to get to publix or kroger
@@drmorcoch9338 it is

FUNNY RIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL
@GencoSchmar 7 Go back to sleep.
Asi es como tratan los cliente Walmart cuidado con el cocodrilo Walmart.
Im a retired cop. I have observed several store security guards (at various stores in our jurisdiction) over the years go far above their authority and often times over react. A lot of times I got the impression many of the security people were "police wannabee's" who couldn't be for various reasons. Btw, i was at a Wal-Mart few yrs ago and saw a guy stuff a new pair of jeans down his sweat pants. I notified an employee who just shrugged her shoulders & walked away.
You the exact reason why employees don't want to confront people who are stealing. Any policy that targets thieves are going to also effect normal customers as well. Yet its employees who will get crucified for trying to do their job.
That’s crazy to think about considering most cops are power hungry wannabes so to imagine and even worse form of a cop. Something that’d keep you up at night just thinking about
walmart has a hands off policy for shop lifters
Yea cuz a. Thief is rdy drop any of em hahaha cmon they work at Walmart u should be working with the thieves tf r u doing or at least at like it
Good! No real loss for Walmart. They are scam rip-off! Acting as if they are friendly helpers of communities when actually they are not. It's all about money. Money! Money! Money! Walmart will fire you for anything
I received a letter from a collector saying Walmart claimed I had stolen some earbuds and I need to pay a settlement. I had no clue what they were talking about, thought it was a scam. I found the store and eventually founded the manager, whom I've never seen in my life. She looked me in my face and lied to me, saying she caught me stealing. I went to the police station, they said they didn't have any records of the incident. I later end up testifying against her in another case she was involved in, after I saw it on the news. She was claiming they had stolen something also.
You missed out on 4 million dollars mate.
Walmart makes millions doing.
You know I find it interesting that their loss prevention personnel are constantly harassing people who aren't stealing claiming that they are, yet every time I go to the store I find all kinds of boxes empty (the item taken out and stolen) so that tells me that they are targeting innocent people and not doing anything about the people who are actually stealing 🤦🙄
Or maybe they are trying for a reason? People are stealing, Walmart tries to prevent it, and then people like you say "Walmart does nothing about stealing" while simultaniously "Walmart is harassing people", kinda hypocritical
@@Fred-tz7hs Hypocritical? Did you miss OP's point? They obviously tried to blame innocent people. How idiotic.
@@Fred-tz7hs I constantly see things that have been taken out of the box and when I tell a worker they just shrug ot off like "oh well". They seem to have no problems harassing those that clearly have not stolen tho🤦♀️
Can't stop everyone. Lost prevention job sucks
I worked at wally world and called Loss Prevention.
Hey LP there's a guy over here sticking $60 Controllers in his pants
he's got 5 so far
LP: not a priority we got this pregnant teen stealing 😒 baby formula call SWAT
Got to say I stopped caring & calling Loss Prevention
When you cost a company 4.4 million...
Yeah, you're never working again in your life.
He'll be staying in his mom's basement for the rest of his life.
kinda taints the CV huh?
There gonna sacrifice him 😂
Loss prevention in general is a liability and they cost their company WAY more than the total value of assets that they recover. Walmart wasn't expecting the guy to win since unfortunately, most lawsuits against retailers are dismissed since the judges are in the retailer's pockets. WinCo Foods, Gelsons, and Nugget Markets are a few such examples. On the East Coast it's Bealls and Market Basket.
unless he goes to a area where nobody knows chit about anything. theres not going to be much to do there tho.
I have met someone like Williams many years ago in my own youth. They did as little as possible whilst on shift but made bogus complaints about customers simply to make it look like they had been vigilant and on their toes the whole time. They were required to fill in a register on the hour every hour of anything that happened of note within the store but when you read the register back, in comparison to all the other shifts that were quiet and un-eventful, this guys seemed to have dramatic things going on all the time. It was after watching the CCTV footage of those so called incidents that management realised that it was all fantasy. Needless to say, the guy never made it to his third week.
Who knew going to buy a light bulb could make someone a millionaire!! Glad he sued and won!!
Kick me out ANYTIME if that is the payday.
Walmart were negligent. It’s not just that his rights were violated.

Walmart seems to be in the news quite often these days for hiring managers and other employees, who don't seem to mind targeting customers who have done nothing wrong. I personally find that Walmart stores have gone to seed in many other ways as well. I actually went to one of their super stores a couple of months back and all the checkouts were closed because, "Nobody showed up for work." I'm glad this man sued Walmart!
You should visit some of their warehouses. At the ones that have groceries they have drivers, companies to pay $50 them to unload their freight.🤦🏽♂️ It's YOUR freight. YOU ordered it. The SHIPPER loaded it. We delivered it. YOU unload it. The non-grocery warehouses never did that when I delivered.
@@donotneed2250 Customers need to record & contact local news when they see the following: various stores (other than Walmart) have cashiers unload the semi-trucks while an employee tells customers "We are having a problem with our system, so registers won't work for 15 minutes."
Every employee at one store quit on the same day over it, per a YT v.
They taped a note to the front door apologizing to customers, explaining the situation and saying how much they appreciates all the customers.
That type of employee is quick to act as if he owns the store, the same place that will fire him in a heartbeat. Smh
A lot of pos like him
It's a double bind. He's the kind of employee you want to hire, one who takes ownership of his employer's business.
Exactly.... act your WAGE 😂

They couldn't find anybody that would work cheaper.
Thankfully the jury blamed Walmart as well.
Yep!
@@ericalexander5890 yessss👏👏

Walmart acted like Williams was a key employee & couldn’t function without him. This is the first time I’ve heard of a local Police Department making complaints to an employer about one of their employees. Walmart Supervision should’ve been terminated, as well.
absolutely, that staff is complicit, and allows him to act this way, must not disagree with him much I would think
Exactly! If they knew that, why was he allowed to keep working there? Crazy
Williams was just carrying out company policy with his actions I'm sure.
TREATED HIM LIKE GOLD WHEN HE WAS REALLY SILVER, MAYBE NOT CORPORATE BUT UPPER MANAGMENT.
@@Royalty449 I understand. Would you agree that he wasn’t worth a wooden nickel? 🫣
To win against a titan like Walmart had to be very difficult for this man and his family...
There was no crime committed...NOW BREAK BREAD$$$..
*Walmart:* “we don’t tolerate discrimination”
*Also Walmart:* “we don’t like the settlement due to our employee’s unchecked discrimination”
Talk about a contradiction lol
THAT PART!
"We don't tolerate discrimination" is standard lip-service now. Walmart legally has to put that in a statement (you know for their attenpt to appeal). You can tell it's bs by the way they immediately complain about losing the case and also how the guy wasn't fired for his driminatory behaviour, they caught him mishandling their products or something. They truly don't give a f about anything but their bottom dollar.
@@eliotjones9835 You probably called out a lot. 😏
This kind of incident is an anomaly; Wal-Mart is good shopping place to go. I must say though that the world has become a complicated and stressful place to live and work especially for younger folks; they work hard everyday following conflicted advice from superior and meeting unhappy shoppers!
I worked for Walmart for a cumulative total of 11+ years and quitting that dump was one of the best decisions I ever made! So glad this man won his lawsuit!

Thanks for the update
Years back my son and I were shopping Walmart, right after working his lawn care business, so we didn't look our best. An "associate" was following us pretending to be a shopper. It started to upset son, but I told him let me do something. Didn't want son buying into that trap. So I approached man said "were shopping same things today. What do you think about this or that"? He barely talked, acted like he was moving on. I did this every aisle we were in. As we were checking out, him still watching, I loudly said "ok security man following us for an hour, after check out we're going to customer service. Come on ,keep up " some around us laughed, he left mad or or embarrassed, not sure which. We returned everything, said no longer want or wrong product, whatever for reason.
Went to Target across street, in/out no problems.
Cool story
If you were the right tint, with the right plan, you could have got a real compo payout.
Ask loss prevention officer to quit staring at your balls repeatedly

@@TheMilford99 We were just tired, wanted to go home, not have a real detailed issue with court date or anything else

@@wilez3219 they do now

I’ve had theft protection embarrass me so badly. I simply had time to kill and stopped to look around. I tried returning my blanket in Walmart bag with receipt but customer service wasn’t open. The woman yelled at me searched my bag, then continued going off on me after she realized I didn’t try to steal anything. I asked for manager and the manager just told me to leave. I was so upset. I could understand if I had tried stealing something but because I looked around the store she was so rude and unapologetic. Most embarrassing situation I’ve ever had. Walmart employees are awful.
Unfortunately some are. I saw another story where a woman was accused of stealing from self check-out. She later sued and won about two million dollars.
Good for her sorry u went true this
You should've reported it
Walmart employees are under pressure to be lp along with a myriad of other tasks.

The theft prevention officer is the one stealing. He is blaming other customers.
What's sad about this story is that WalMart is NOT responsible, and actually DID fire the employee. The jury should not have held them accountable. Blk people are always on the lookout for a quick payday, and there are plenty of bottom-feeding lawyers available to aid them with this kind of hustle.
I've been followed around but they've always kept their distance, maybe I should record if I ever visit again

I bet if they did a cost/benefit analysis of hiring these idiots to stalk people and look for shoplifters, they are losing more money paying these guys than they are by any potential shoplifting and lawsuits.
Absolutely. Great comment!!
No, they aren't as they are really there to watch the employees who can do the most damage when it comes to theft.
Most retail losses are an inside job.
and they always chase behind folks thats not even shoplifting so it defeats the whole purpose of hiring them.
I'm willing to bet this was an inside job. And all actors got paid for it
The fact that the police stated the walmart LPO has a history of lying was all anybody needed for the settlement. . . . but Jesus, 4.4 million. The cops have to snap your arm off for a settlement like that to occur.

At Walmart in Dixon California, my son and I were followed out to our car because the Manager wasn't watching as people were leaving, and checking your receipt, etc. She demanded to look into our bags, it was completely humiliating. We thought about suing for this. We hadn't stolen a thing, I'd never ever seen anything like this at Costco, everyone is properly checked out exactly the same as you're leaving. No behavior such as this at Target either. My son is actually former Military Law Enforcement and found Walmarts Manager behavior Nonsensical.
They had no right to check your bags unless they were checking everyone's bags. I would have stood my ground and said no. Let them call the police and embarass themselves.
Once paid for, the items belong to you. If store personnel impede you or detain you in any way, it's illegal imprisonment. That's a felony in my state.
They didn’t do anything wrong. You did. By letting them look inside your bag …especially once you were in the parking lot. Know your rights. Learn to stand your ground
You have no legal obligation to allow them to search your bags after you left the store.
You also have no responsibility to show them your receipt at the exit
Well dang, it’s great to see the good officers stepping up. The manager was looking for the opposite to happen.
"Why is he traspassing me?" "Well, because he can". Oy, another version of "just because!". So glad this cost Wallyworld millions.
Walmart loves to arrest people...I will never go to another Wal-Mart
A small irony is that the victim will no longer have to shop at Walmart. Is Walmart still backing up their expensive employee? One would expect they would fire him just to look like they care about this and don’t want to face future lawsuits this employee will surely bring on.
I commend this gentleman for filing a Civil Law Suit against Walmart! They will never learn!

Walmart knew this employee was a problem and they did not take action until it was exposed.
I think the officer saying he was trespassed because that's what loss prevention wanted was very damning.
The days of trespassing anyone based of off hearsay are over for Walmart. No video, no case!!

I'm glad this man was resilient and followed through. Imagine if people showed an act of solidarity and did not support this type of treatment by finding alternative places to shop. Walmart is known in my state to do covert watching operations. Again it's covert so there isn't anything evidentiary to show.
Not surprised by this employee's behavior as well as Walmart!
Good! The only thing that will make this type of discrimination stop is more verdicts like this. People change their behavior real quick when they're losing money.
Thank you
I got a bs 150k for spending 14 months in jail for something I didn't do. I'm in the wrong lawsuit business.....smh
I had the same thing happen to me. Only the guy told me he knows I stole something and took it to the car. And he called the police. I stayed and waited for police. The police asked to search my car I told them they could if they arrested me first for shop lifting. They refused and threatened to arrest me for trespassing. I went to see a lawyer and found out I should've left instead of staying to wait for police. Very traumatizing experience being I was 8mths pregnant.
I'm so sorry that this happened to you 💕
That's terrible! But I'm confused. If you haven't been informed of being trespassed and are being held on the property, how on earth could the police threaten to arrest you for trespassing?
@@heidikickhouse- agreed, but doesn't sound like she was "held on the property" unless they blocked her vehicle. (They sometimes ask Brosnan security to use their pick-up truck to block the vehicle of alleged shoplifters and tell Brosnan Risk that if the pick up truck gets damaged, Walmart will replace it at no cost)
Why should you have left? You look less guilty if you stayed.
If you had left you might have had the police chasing you down the highway .
If only they'd investigate soooooo many other pseudo victims such as this! There are many people that are incarcerated right now behind lies and deceitful reporting. Job well done Sir on recording your innocence. It paid off and you won in the end!
They got it bad about trespassing people even when the find that nothing was stolen.
Why would walmart employ someonne whos a liability? Smh!
Am sure the management is part of this...no way an empmoyee would be able to do this repeatedly without their knowledge.
Your right. He was told two do that crap by his leaders.
