Some Walmart’s have security guards patrolling and others don’t that is your guidepost as to which stores may end up closing.
It’s partly WalMart’s own faule.
The signs at their self-checkout stations say “Scan and Go”; whereas “Scan, PAY and Go” would be much more instructive.
(At least for those who know how to read)
They can post a person all they want, most people allow them to check. Criminals will just say NOPE! And walk on by.
they catch the shoplifter
call police
then da does not prosecute
These criminals are violent and dangerous. Would you try to stop someone half your age and twice your size??
Walmart has had people POSTED at the exit since forever.
They are the first to get beaten up by thieves
This incident may have happened in a Home Depot. Same difference, the employee was killed attempting to intervene.
Crazy CA passed Prop 47 back in 2014
Any theft $950 or below just a misdemeanor..
Shoplifting started skyrocketing after that law passed.
Target, Walmart etc..won’t even bother to call the police anymore if small items stolen..our local Target sometimes has a “security” guy at the door. Unarmed & always very young..the last one I saw looked about 12 years old & I was thinking, thieves probably laugh when they see a kid as a security guard.
Businesses operate so that only ones that actually pay for merchandise is the middle-class.
The government operates so that the only ones who pay taxes is the middle class.
Utility companies operate so that the only ones who actually pay for services is the middle class.
Insurance companies and hospitals operate so that the only ones who pay for health care is the middle class.
Guess who is rapidly running out of money?
Considering a Walmart Manager killed several people in his own store last week, I would think that the solution is to have armed guards/off duty police at all stores and at all times.
Can’t say I don’t blame them if they do. With all these grab and run thefts happening without accountability by the justice system then businesses are left to do whatever they need to to remain in business.
Don’t be fooled. Sam never paid a living wage when he was alive.
He gutted small town America.
He was not the good old country boy that made it big.
His wife’s family bank rolled him. Father-in-law was wealth rancher and lawyer around Claremore, OK.
DO IT!!! And tell the community WHY!
Vote for SHIT Hole communities and you get SHIT hole communities.
Shut them down in areas where theft is high.
Problem solved.
Impossible.
I was assured here at FR that this would never happen.
Both Walmart and Target spit in the face of those same taxpayers by supporting anti-American, woke, and Communist goals and organizations.
Walmart and Target aren't bothered that theft at their stores is increasing; they're bothered they can't get productive people to continue subsidizing the losses.
You have no idea!

So does Home Depot

We visited relatives in Russia years ago ... at one of the old Soviet style stores, you went in past security, met clerk at counter, told him or her what you’d like and how much ... they’d weigh it out for you, give you a ticket to take up front and take your order up to the cashier.
You didn’t touch your stuff until it was actually paid for. So instead of walking in and doing self-check out or a five-finger discount you had to deal with at least 3 people in the store.
We might get to that point but don’t know where we’d hire all the people.
