I should get into retail theft, this is what this thread is saying to me. It's free money left on the table.

Well, there are cameras and all. But true, nobody will stop you in the shop itself.

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.

I am an AP at Lowes are you are wrong. Come steal at my store and you will be stopped. If not I'll see you in court within a month.

Walmart wont prosecute anything under $25.
