A former Walmart worker who was part of a theft-busting duo known as “Starsky & Hutch’’ was stabbed by a suspected shoplifter — and says the company betrayed him by firing him afterward.
John Zalesky, 67, of Aurora, Colo., told The Post that he was so good at spotting shifty thieves during his 10-month tenure at a store in nearby Centennial that he and another eagle-eyed cashier nicknamed themselves after the TV crime-fighting duo — and Walmart even hailed him once with an award.
“In 10 months, I stopped well over 100 people,” Zalesky said recently, adding that his work as a front-end associate probably saved the company thousands of dollars in inventory “shrinkage,” a big deal for a relatively small store that he estimated lost $500,000 to theft last year.

No wonder employees at Walmart never ask if they can help you.
Or even look at you. They don’t want to get fired or dead.
STOP PATRONIZING THESE PIGS!!!
I was at a Walmart few months back...Saw a guy grab a 24 pack of some godawful looking soda and start walking out. I told him that he was doing the wrong thing ,stealing like that, and he should put the soda back. He did and walked out. He looked a bit disheveled so I assume he had more severe needs.
I forgot to add the sarcasm tag-
