Police say a man was bitten by a rattlesnake while shopping for shoes in a Wal-Mart store in Texas.

Now THAT is a shoplifting deterrent...

Yeah, they can replace all the old geezer greeters with snakes at the door. That'll save 'em a bunch of money. The snakes may have a hard time pushing the carts out to the shoppers though.

Dito dirtboy. I have a friend in West Texas that keeps a rattlesnake in a burlap bag under the passenger seat of his pickup. He has never had a problem with anyone stealing his truck.

In the small town that my husband grew up in there was a gas station that displayed an aquarium with two rattlers in its window.

A sign on the aquarium said, "They're Out At Night". And at nighttime no snakes were in the aquarium.

No break-ins, robberies or problems of that nature ever occurred at that station.
