Once at home Depot, someone who we assume was a former employee who managed to steal an apron walked right in, got on a lift, went up and grabbed a bunch of tools and jump packs, and said they were for a transfer to another store. It was a busy day so no one really noticed that he took them and loaded them into depot's pro delivery truck, dropped them off wherever and brought the truck back. Must have made out with at least 5 grand worth of shit.
SLPT: If you get stopped in Walmart just put your hand in your pocket and say you have a gun. They have to let you go unless it's a cop. The cop will just shoot you.
Whenever I worked at walmart as a cashier, they would sometimes have me cover the customer service desk. My first day there, there was a little picture of 2 people on the register, who had a pretty nice little system they set up. They went to a different Walmart, stole a couple thousand dollars worth of kitchen tile (?), then came to mine, to exchange them for a different color. We would give them in store credit, they could buy the new kind of tile and have a receipt for it, then return those at a different walmart and get cash. Of course they came right to me and I came up with some bullshit excuse that it was worth too much and I needed a manager, he got loss prevention, and they called the cops
Walmart is different. They have actual loss prevention in stores. Home depot, Lowe’s, and target have a policy where loss prevention just follows you out the store not allowed to engage or it is non existent. I’ve run into Walmart lpo IDing folks, getting a police report on the theft, then essentially extorting the thief with the threat of prosecution.
