Walmart Employee EXPOSES What They Do, TikTok Goes Viral

- Now more than ever, Walmart and other retailers are asking shoppers to become self-sufficient. And some customers have treated this responsibility as an invitation to add a little something extra to their bags. But even in understaffed stores, shoppers aren’t as alone as they assume . . . As someone-or something-oversees every purchase. Customers are mad at the extremes put in place. Is this how retailers should be treating their valued customers?

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!
If they're constantly watching everyone, why does it take so long to find someone to help in the aisle?!?!
Labor shortages.
Employees are pushed to produce work done in desired times, over helping customers. Being understaffed does not help either. Stores regularly cut staff when job duties change every few months, then add work back later. Sam Walton's 10 foot rule is no longer viable. Corporate values your work hours over helping customers.
Depends what time it is. 2nd shift unloads the trucks between 2-6 pm and only people under age 18 stock the aisles when the trucks are being unloaded. Walmart gets daily trucks unlike Meijer so about 10-12 people are unloading the trucks. Usually to be a stocking associate you have to be 18 or only work 5-8pm So I would say around like 2-6 is the time where you won't see many people on the floor. You could probably find an OGP person to help you is probably the best bet.
Because they want you walking around and spending more money . It's like a casino , they don't want you to leave
Or help at a checkstand!
What's so weird is, they stop legit shoppers at the door for a receipt but let the thieves go with no hassle.
If the blacks can steal so can I.
I'm just smart enough to steal alot more than them in ways they never thought of.
Are they supposed to fight them?😂
@@ShawnNSteph61022 No, they're supposed to not hassle legit shoppers.
@@ShawnNSteph61022are you blk? Let me guess
@@ShawnNSteph61022 no they shouldn’t have to fight shoplifters themselves but there are some managers that train their employees to just let them go and don’t even call for security. You think that’s ok? I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the people in charge know the people shoplifting and there’s something in it for them. Why else would they say don’t call security? Isn’t that what security is for?
Best Buy lost our business last week because there was no employee to help us get a computer charger out of the locked cage. There was at least 5 people waiting for someone to show up and we weren’t waiting any longer. This is making it so much easier to just buy online.
I tried self-checkout when it first came to the Walmart where I shopped. I need assistance almost every time. If you need assistance, it isn't self-checkout. I decided to just leave everything in my basket and walk out with nothing if I need assistance. I no longer consider using self-checkout, even if I have only one item.
Theft has consequences that makes us all pay. I'm sure eventually there will no longer be brick and mortar stores. The internet has definitely changed the world. Ironically, it's the only way to prevent theft by forcing people to buy on line.
So you bought from Best Buy online instead?
Yep and buying online is making it so much easier for this country to destroy the American dollar and turn everything into digital currency.
@@edmartin875sucks for you. While you wait for 15 minutes, I'll go scan my 4 items, check out, and leave while you stand there in line behind the other 14 Karens.
This is why everyone says support local. It’s not because they want your money. It’s because these people have too much money and control.
Our local store are to high even sales don't compare to Walmart every day low price. For me every penny counts. It's the thieves messing things up from prices to check out ❤️
i think it's kinda funny how so many people are so angry about self-checkout, but i ONLY use self-checkout bc i'm WAY too anxious to talk to anyone. i literally can go in, buy my things, and leave without saying a word.
Edit: i'm glad there's so many people out there who feel the same way i do about self-checkout. for the people who want to tell me that i'm ruining my life by letting my anxiety be, or calling me a sheep, you are the problem lol. it's not as easy as 'just getting over it', and bold of you to assume that i'm not plenty happy doing things the way that i do them.
ME TOO! and i find it very satisfying when im able to bag my own items the way i want, especially since i use big reusable bags.

I feel sorry for you. Isolation even if it preferred is never good for anyone.
sameee
@@karenmariecraig5619 They didn't say they were isolated. They prefer the self checkout because they don't have to interact with someone. That doesn't mean that carries over to every aspect of their life. Many people want to be in and out of a store as quickly as possible, and as minimal interaction with others as possible helps with that. That's also why drive up pickups are great. Just pull into a spot, let them know you've arrived, say "Hi" and "Thank you" when the person comes out, and you're on your way.
I don't care if stores are taking precautions. I am more surprised how open people are about stealing. It's like a joke to the thieves while honest low income people struggle, more, because of them.
It's easy to steal from Walmart. None of this can even detect my method. Just gotta abuse the return policy. Anytime something of mine breaks, I the identical product at Walmart, then I just switch it for the broken one and return it the next day. Been doing that for over 20 years with everything from a cheap $20 pair of headphones, to a ps4 and a nintendo switch when those consoles began acting up for me
@@LilT2o00 love the arrogance, it will get you caught. You're part of the problem keeping people struggling. You won't be a blowhard when it happens to you.
@@LilT2o00 We don’t have Walmart where I live but can’t they tell the product has been well used if you’ve had it for awhile or do they just not care and still take it back anyway?
@@YoungDymisty They have a no questions asked return policy so they wont' ask any questions about it. Target is the same
@@LilT2o00 You're part of the problem, that cause stores to resort these methods.
I worked for walmart... workers are treated badly.
I would be surprised if they didn't by the way they treat their customers and the customer is what keeps them in business, they want to act like they are doing the customer a favor, if it wasn't for the customers the executives would be hungry just like the customers, but they are only worried about line on their balance sheet at the end of the year so they can see how much their bonus is going to be for the year!!!!!! To them the customer is just the peon that carries the money to the register!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then get a different job.
@dickhertz5973 what if nobody will hire you?
@@dickhertz5973 you do see the word, worked. Past tense... if I had typed work. That means I still work at helmart.
In other news, water is wet. Seriously, who doesn’t know that they treat their employees terribly?? This has been known for EONS. Between that, and the fact they intentionally wiped out countless businesses as they spread like a virus across the nation, I’ve made it a point to NEVER spend one single bloody cent there.
I was a district Loss Prevention Manager for several major store chains in the early 2000's, and I have to tell you guys, the stores are more focused on watching the EMPLOYEES than the actual customers. I would say 90% of my calls to "review tape" of theft incidents involved EMPLOYEE apprehensions.
The stores have INSURANCE to cover shrinkage, but because the insurance rates are higher at some store locations, that causes the store chain to reconsider whether it is beneficial to keep that location open. I was shopping at a Walmart recently in Sandy Spring, Georgia, which is an affluent community. I noticed an unusual amount of items now locked up behind glass & plexiglass cases. A casual conversation with one of the department managers gave me a startling revelation: Their store had been targeted for shutdown in 2024 if they didnt get control of their shrinkage. That ONE store alone in 2023 had a shrinkage of $3.6 MILLION!! They were in DANGER of losing their JOBS if they didnt get this under control. But my thinking is this, How do you control the PUBLIC to save YOUR job? Its IMPOSSIBLE. That why I would NEVER work retail again.
Yeah, they are only taking what they are owed in low wages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The same is true of classified document breaches
Well, for years people tried organizing boycotts against Walmart because they destroy communities by putting small businesses out of business.
I'd say the problem has finally come full circle.
Nobody in Portland is upset that Walmart closed up shop. That was the intended goal.
No Walmarts mean that local businesses can flourish once again, which keeps money circulation local, resulting in a better community.
Im 42, ive never bought a television in my life. Ever. I dont need a walmart for that. Or for anything else. All they sell is low quality everything, and support China's economy. Buy local. Buy American made. Build your community. F. Walmart. Good Riddance to bad rubbish.
@@taitsmith8521 Here the Walmart’s major competitor is BJs! The other grocery stores are less convenient and don’t carry much of what we buy. All are chains of some sort. I’ve seen very little food from China either.
The closest competitor for some of the other products is Hobby Lobby who seems to have a similar business model of no benefits etc.
Btw, many of the televisions are Japanese and Korean.
@@taitsmith8521 Sweet! I never-ever thought of it like that before. Thanks for pointing that out!
They have staff to watch your every move but they can't have cashiers to help you. Dozens standing around talking but they can't open a register and check shoppers out.
I refuse to use self check out. I don't get paid or receive a discount to scan and bag items.
Go somewhere else then.
@@MansaX👋 bye
Not every worker is allowed to run a register, plus some of the ones that are "standing around" are working on the self help to see if anyone needs help. The truth of self help lines is they can not get enough people willing to earn a living to run the other checkouts, so they have to have the self checkout ones. Two workers can run the 10 self help, but a manned check out is one to one. Which do you think helps more customers, one at a time or 5 at a time?
This shouldn't even be a question.
Funny how no one is holding the actual thief's accountable. That's the problem not the cameras.
That’s cause American people care about their freedom too much. Putting any security and they’ll start screaming and crying
Seriously. They have a cop at whole foods basically 24/7. Cant they just put one at a walmart?
We have cops all over the place at larger stores here. I have also had people who work for Fred Meyer take my picture as I shop with this clip board looking thing. There is no privacy. I don't like that fact but it's what is. Until it all collapses , we need to be aware and beware.
Thieves, fool.
EXACTLY
I don't even steal but when I saw those monitors drawing a square around my face, I just walked away and never went back.
I quit spending any money with Walmart this year.
I have never in my life shoplifted, yet I have been overcharged by checkout cashiers more times than I can remember.
Good point
Me 2 it’s crazy
That's why you use the self checkout. If you don't trust cashiers who are only employees and have no personal interest in overcharging you, how can you expect a business to trust consumers who have every incentive to "forget" to scan a few items here and there. I believe every word you said and overcharging indeed does happen, but so does shoplifting. Minimizing shoplifting only helps paying customers, it does not hurt us.
you got run over buddy, sad
Keep a physical record until they owe you a felony amount like they do then press charges , you could be on to something???? Just saying ...
They're constantly watching everyone through that technology, they will stare at you while your scanning and paying for your items and then still ask you for a receipt...
That happened two months go at our local Walmart Super Center in Elk Grove, IL. The girl stopped me I had my receipt in my hand I paid for everything and guarantee I will not set off the alarm then she backed off. I said never again will never step back in any Walmart store again and how they treat the paying customer. Did not have any cashier lines open but a bunch standing around humilating good customers. I have not been back to any walmart store and don't miss it. I order online most times. Most stores never have less products and inventory and can't find what you are looking for, or if you order online, pick up, and you get a much lower price or additional discount if you pickup. People need to forget Walmart. I shop small local stores now. Don't even shop Target even though I have not been humilated like walmart.
They probably have to. Many people are trying to scam at any opportunity !
Yet somehow people are still stealing. Someone riddle me that one.
@@denverlilly3669 i can tell you from my time there in the mid 2000s people would steal anything. even prepaid phones that where 100% useless if not activated.
@@linanicolia1363 i have no time for criminals but in reality we are getting scammed everyday
I remember going to Walmart recently and items I purchased in store with my own personal debit card, not attached to my Walmart account, showed up in my “in store” purchases. Like how? No receipt was scanned, not Walmart account or linked card was used, how did they know what I purchased? I was freaked out until I just saw this video and it makes sense.
So for item pick ups, Walmart tracks you from the moment you leave your house to arriving at the store. You don’t have to tell them you arrived, they tell you that you’ve arrived. How creepy 😮
That's why I go to a checker. Anyone ever accuses me of shoplifting, I'll be seeing them in court. This is also why I mainly shop off of Amazon. To many dishonest people out there that make it harder for the rest of us to do our Honest shopping!!
Be careful of chinese sellers selling garbage products on Amazon.
You maybe paying double online.
Lol... "I'll see them in court". Haha. For what?
I can tell you Walmart waiting to be able to file felony charges is absolutely true. an ex boyfriend of mine was stealing from walmart.he got away with taking more TV's and big items than I can count (we had already broken up when he started this but friends were eager to fill me in afterwards ofc).he was doing big things and was quite successful... except he wasn't. he was allowed to rack up to a certain $ and then he was brought in for felony charges.
I’m very recognizable with a long beard. I go to Walmart once a month and spend $300. I never steal. They never ask for my receipt. They know who the theirs are. You can bank on that. 😊
Serves him right 😂
Someone I know (not me) stole from there all the time, after watching this I'm worried for his freedom, I'm going to make sure he doesn't fxxk around to find out anymore.
this is true i remember when i worked at walmart i was told by a superior that and by security
@@sirvilhelmofyonderland nah, I used to get hassled.
And I never stole a thing.
One old lady in flyover almost ran out, screaming threats at me my husband and our 2 preschoolers.
It doesn't seem to matter. People casually walk out with large, expensive items without even hiding the fact that they are stealing. Walmart doesn't want the liability of confronting them and the cops don't have time to deal with it. Society is cracking.
Walmart destroys society
Yet they'll spend millions in court for a customer accidently forgetting to scan a $2 item. Thieves are allowed to walk out with hundreds in clothes no problem.
Fortunately, that is only the case in Liberal run cities and states. Places like where I live, if Walmart sees a shop lifter, the cops will be there in minutes. And yes, in my area, Walmart DOES confront shoplifters.
True...but maybe they should stop price gouging
@@roberthicks5454Nowhere can they confront shoplifters outside of the store..nowhere..including where you live..they usually have the cops show up b4 you walk out
You do NOT have to show a Walmart greeter your receipt. Once you pay for the items, that is YOUR property and it is called “Illegal search and seizure” for an employee to ask unless you’re suspected of shoplifting.
Suspected but they still need to have evidence in order to stop you.
We stopped printing out the receipt, we just press “send to phone number” but we also don’t bring our phones in the store so employees can’t even ask us for our receipt since we don’t have one and we don’t have phones, haven’t been stopped since.
@@paulatavares5220its in the trash. I can dig it out if you want
I had a greeter tell me to show my receipt. I told him I just spent 10 minutes checking myself out and showing him was not my priority. He said fine I will send security out to your car. I told him I’m in the silver car in the handicap.
You guys are so big and brave. Be proud of yourselves for harrassing a minimum wage worker who is just doing their job
They can watch me all they want since I'm not a thief. They'll just get bored
I'm not either. But when you can feel you're being followed is not a good feeling. Especially when you know you're not doing anything wrong.
What really pisses me off is, everything around the store is locked up, no employees to be found & then after having to check myself out they want to stop everyone at the door & check receipts!! I’m not stopping
Once you pay for the stuff, it's yours, not theirs. You don't have to show your receipt.
@@ILGuy2012
You would think that, but they won't let you out the door unless they get to check it. It's BS anyway you look at it!
You don't have to show them, unless its a club store like BJ'S or SAMS where you have a paid membership and its in the membership contract.....I always walk right past the door people, if they try to stop me, ill just ask if they are accusing me of stealing, then be on my way
@@PADS62The lady tried to stop me and my wife asking if I had my receipt. I told her my wife had it (because she did) knowing my wife wasn't going to play along. She basically told the lady she didn't want to be harassed and she was going to file a lawsuit if they kept it up, and kept walking. It's actually against the law for them to force you to show your receipt unless they legitimately suspect you stole something.
@@PADS62 Not at Walmart. When they ask, I say no and keep on walking. They never tried to stop me. One time, the greeter asked one person, and he complied. Then everyone behind him lined up like sheep to show theirs. I just walked on by and out of the door.
This whole time I'm just wondering is all this security really cheaper than just having a cashier like a normal store
Exactly!
Yes. It is
for sure they could hire more associates the help customers find things, open locked displays, etc. but they will not. I remember when they reassigned so many cashiers to other jobs when they put those self checks in.
They might be doing it to spy on the customers especially since they can read your text msgs if they want, well there can be a lot of sensitive info like bank account info, etc...

They're going to take out the self checkout at the Dollar General due to shoplifting. People ring their stuff up but walk out without paying. 💁🏿♂️Hard to stop when there's only 1 worker in the whole store. 🤪
They busted me with a freezer in my drawers.🥶🤣
The other day in Wal-Mart, I went to self-check out, there were literally 4 "associates" in the area talking to each other, doing nothing, and 3 at the other end of the check out line doing the same thing. Imagine of all 7 of them had been checking out.
It's not about saving money. It's about control.
I figured they were all supervisor standing around doing nothing. I quit going.
But you can be they're demanding $15+ an hour....
@Dosbomber No, they're not since Walmart is anti-union. And yes thanks to all the rising inflation in the past couple of decades $15/hr will hardly make ends meet.
@@BartimaeusCarbulo If they were standing around doing nothing, I would have assumed they were already in a union.
It's more profitable for them to charge interest on shoplifted goods.
They probably have trade deals with private prisons.
Edit: fixed typo
So if this is the case, why do we continuously get videos of people helping themselves to heaps of merchandise with no interference from the store? There’s something totally fishy about all of this.
Equity.
because the melanin enriched are protected
That's not in Texas probably California.
Walmart- the employees are not allowed to physically stop suspected shoplifting. Due to insurance. Employees may be Disciplined if they do. Also with the amount of violence, it's not worth thr risk of injury.
Shrinkage Is calculated into prices along with security measures.
Alot of store policies encourage theft.
Depends on the location. In Chicago for instance, the ststes attorney will not prosecute shoplifting and employees will be murdered for trying to stop it
They have 20 people watching every transaction yet they can't hire more than one cashier. The Billionaire Waltons don't want unskilled people getting uppity.
Why are customers mad? Because Walmart don't want u to steal the product 😂😂😂
I feel bad for the senior citizens that may struggle with the checkout while waiting for help. Also, there is human error, a person could genuinely leave something unscanned by mistake, just as cashiers have.
Thank u. Not everyone has or steal just to steal I was raised if I can’t afford it I just can’t afford it. No need to steal. That’s wrong for the ppl who work hard
I have genuinely sometimes forgot something on the bottom of the basket not many times just a few 😔
And also all the self serve gas station...not ez for older folks to manage...There used to be all service stations..
The cashiers can usually tell the accident from the weasel customers. A prime rib scanned with a lunch meat and bagged is easy to tell what's happening.
That's kind of a low opinion of "senior citizens", which may fall right into their strategy. You can find an Apple Watch on just as many seniors' wrists as you can on Gen Z wrists. Believe me, seniors not only know how to use technology; they invented a lot of it! They also know how to use experience and treachery to pown pretty much any under 40 young 'un who doesn't do a budget and is up to their piercings in personal debt. 😏
Everyone has been taking cashiers for granted till now. Be grateful people.
I love self checkout and am never gonna use a cashier aisle. Apart from stores that don't have self checkout, I've never used a cashier checkout lane since mid 2019 and I LOVE it.
I’m glad Walmart is going to all these measures. I like to use self checkouts because my back hurts if I stand in line. I don’t mind showing my receipt every time. I don’t mind if an employee is standing near me. I don’t steal. Only people that steal don’t want to see all these measures.
I agree with you 💯 %.
You wouldn’t have to stand in line if they’d HIRE PEOPLE
Not true us older folks don't like self check at all. I would just leave cart full and leave the store lf all they had is self check
@@michaelharmon833 I'm an 'older folk' as you say and I love self checkouts. It's much quicker when I do it. Time is $$$.
You are 100% correct. I seen shopping carts through out the store one night filled with open packages they cleaned off the shelves. The toy isle had so many packages opened and stolen. I will also say this.... I know multiple people who only pay for 50% of their items. They wanted to get rid of employees than you got to pay the price else where. Also the secret shoppers are horrible at there job. You can spot them in 2 seconds. They are always on their phone, walking with items that will not spoil, wearing running shoes and a sports watch
I shoplifted at Walmart when I was homeless. Dr Scholls shoe inserts when my shoes had holes worn in the soles, walked out with them already inside my shoes. Ate food in the bathroom before leaving, used over the counter meds in-store when I was sick, etc. This was over a decade ago
@@SandiBagby I did the same while on the streets. One time someone decided to steal all the clothes I had so I decided instead of trying to collect another wardrobe and possibly get it stolen and also to save on the cost of laundry, I just started boosting a new outfit like every other day. Did it probably 100 times, sometimes even multiple times a day. Didn’t get caught even once.
@@CKBeets Let me guess? You have much melanin? Gibs me dat!

Im a cashier for my local grocery store, at my store we don't offer self checkout, unlike our other locations. Plus without self checkout it helps the store shrinkage
Yesterday a customer was upset that we didnt have self checkouts, and when she asked why we didn't, i looked at her and said " because i like to have a job". She changed her tune after that 😂
Mine do, but mostly because they can't get enough people to either work or show up consistently.
@@redshed2020 they could by paying those people a living wage. But it's easier to blame the poor, fits the narrative we all buy.

Blame the thieves! If they weren't stealing and costing stores, then you wouldn't have to pay more.
They should go back to the days where every store had a “Wall of Shame” with the offenders picture holding the items they tried to steal 🤣🤣

My question is how are ppl so open about LITERALLY stealing, that's so crazy to me 💀💀
If you don't got money for the item then don't buy it
I mean if they’re stealing they’re technically not buying it regardless of whether they can afford it or not anyway 😂. But yeah even if I’ve taken something by accident I feel bad. My relative had a friend that always would steal and even sold some of the items to her. I remember the friend talking about it openly and she said she didn’t care and didn’t feel bad. I just wondered if the punishment was really bad would she change or just continue. Honestly I think she does it because she’s bored not because she couldn’t afford it.
in this economy? people can barely afford rent, you want people to just starve to death? people are stealing things they need, or to resell it get money to get the things they need.
bootlicker
Awful privileged of you to assume 14 year old me should've starved instead of taking a candy bar🤣
It's a hangover from digital piracy days
Cause it's not about the money for some people. There are literal communities of shop lifters that do it for the thrill. I know I saw some on tumblr a while back bragging about stealing tables or game consoles etc.
When I saw myself on their camera, I gave them my middle finger!😂
So in the end only the paying customer….pays
We went to 5 below. While scanning our things something wouldn't scan. Instead of just helping us scan this item the employee asked if what was in our bags were scanned and proceeded to check the items with the listed items in the machine. The employee was more concerned about us stealing something than trying to help us scan our items. It's annoying enough to have to scan your own items knowing something is going to wrong and you're going to have to ask for help every time. If you think everyone who walks into your store is a thief, maybe you should hire employees to scan for your customers instead of accusing everyone who walks through the door of stealing. I won't go back there again, you just lost a customer.
Everyone should boycott those self-checkouts. & maybe they will get rid of them.
You dont have to show them anything in your bag..not even the cops...not without a warrant
I'd walk out
They check the bag because every item has a weight, and if that does not register, it Will stop… i Never use Them.
And they don't care if they lost u .
Agree with the price gouging. Costco was the only retailer who didn't raise prices due to "inflation" because they stated they are still making enough money and didn't need to.
You can stop 'price gouging' yourself by going to the other place (Costco) that isn't. If you can't find one that isn't, then it isn't price gouging.
Lots of things have gone up in price at Costco! Are you kidding me?
Shrinkflation is real at Costco. You're not getting as many paper towels per roll and so on.

So they can stop you at the register for not scanning something. How are they going to stop me from grabbing my carton of pre-workout and sprint out the door? The greeters always have crutches or sitting in a wheelchair. 😆
I worked at the Walmart near Arundel Mills... they do currently take facial recognition pictures of anyone who steals and save them on hard drives... so the next time that person walks into the Walmart the image of them on camera changes color.
I quit shopping at Walmart years ago for so many reasons. Mostly because of how much they can spend on preventing theft & inconveniencing their costumers but are unable to pay their employees a living wage. Their greed shines through all else.
Shop local!!
@@JesusSavesTheLostBrokenConfuse Yeah, where they get paid literal minimum wage and get no paid time off!
They harassed me constantly in the black controlled Walmart in Mansfield, La. So I quit going to their garbage stores.
Danielle…this was in the early 2000s; is why are they accepting those wages…you should see them applying for positions, in their pijamas…the unemployment office tells them what to do to continue receiving their benefits…don’t feel so bad for them, they are too lazy to work a real job.
Jobs at walmart used to be considered "Entry Level" and were Never intended to be a main source of income. I don't think they even offer overtime or even full-time employment in most cases, excluding management of course. Work at walmart while you're in school to get a real paying job, not brain surgery hopefully.
This is deeper than you think they are preparing you for something WAY more sinister
Yep, it's called a digital currency mark of the beast, which is where you can't buy or sell without this mark.
They are setting the stage for a digital currency mark, as we speak.
Elon Musk is the head of this digital currency mark and people still idolize Elon!? Its called Neuro Link.
We are at the precipice of this event coming to pass and cash turning digital.
But this is the antichrist beast system and The Great Tribulations of the world and its people timeline, that the KJV bible warns us about, but there is hope and a way out and that's following Jesus Christ cause only He can save us from this event because God's people/Christian church are not appointed to God's wrath or The Great Tribulation timeline.
Jesus' Second Advent is a long period of time (3 to 7 years) and in the beginning is where we the Christian church are Raptured/redeemed into heaven right before The Great Tribulation and digital currency mark period starts and thats going to be here soon and that means, Jesus is coming sooner than we think!
The Rapture doesnt mean judgement day for all humans.
Judgment day for all humans is actually called: The Great White Throned Judgment and that means humans wont be judged for another 1000 or so years yet.

Theft is just an excuse.
So true 💯
AI isn't who these thieves need to be afraid of. The man upstairs is the one you need to fear. He sees everything cameras don't. 👌🏼
My son was known to shoplift and they scanned his face without his permission and knew when he was within 350 feet of an entrance.
Good.
Yeah employees stand around watching you ring up groceries. Its infuriating!
Ya and then when u need their help they give u an attitude cuz there talking to someone else or whatever. It's like seriously u chose to work self check out u can't get mad if we need help or our machine stalls n needs them. And also a lot of the employees rarely smile as well
Here the crazy part is….I can bet every in me that if you accidentally double scan and over charge your self they wouldn’t run after you to correct the error and give you your money back for an honest mistake made by you doing their job that you pay them for. Services are included in the price of the items they sale. Do your own work Walmart!
Pay attention ! You learn to know exactly how much your items cost. I always know. I look at a price and make sure at checkout , it is the same. The worse people are Kroger chain as they advertise cheaper than what the computers show. Every time, I call the loose cashier to take off my purchase. It is deceptive and it is also illegal. They make excuses when you remind them, there is a mistake. In the past, when it happened, they would give the item for free. That no longer is available. Not impressed with Kroger.
Not true bro, it’s literally the self check out workers job to correct your errors on the machine and then if they didn’t realize till after they check out then they go to customer service to fix it
You want it all I guess...dirt cheap prices AND concierge customer service 😞
Is not about shoplifting is about controlling you. Look how the bite the hand the feeds them and we keep feeding them as the rip out arm off 😂😊😅
I've been stolen from, and deeply hated it, but I'd rather be stolen from than to steal
Has pleasing customers ever been the priority at Walmart???
Also to note, I once was at a Walmart self checkout and an item I was trying to scan wouldn’t scan so I called an employee to help and she couldn’t get it to scan either so she picked up a snickers bar and scanned that instead and said, “you’re good” and walked away 😂
Yes, when Sam Walton started the stores, he did care about customers. We have the greedy jerks after him to thank.
I had the same thing happen once, only She just threw the item in one of my bags and said, "You're good now, you can proceed"....
She winked at me, we smiled at each other and She walked away to help someone else....
lol It was cheaper that would be funny.
@@mariahconklin4150 I think it was cheaper by a lot lol
@@joeleyendecker5346 haha that’s awesome
If they can afford all this "spy on the customer" equipment, they can afford cashiers. Instead they have one cashier, sometimes none. They have a couple of people "babysitting" at the self-checkouts who stand around chitchatting. At the exit they have someone who demands to see your receipt. That's THREE people who could be running registers! This is at my local Walmart, which I avoid at all costs.
Actually no. Think about the economics. Spend $500 k to watch millions of transactions a year. A cashier must be paid every week and benefits double the amount they have to pay...
😂 nobody wants to work why do you think they got the self check out in the first place.
@@jenniferfagan1968 Yeah this generation is lazy, lack morals, lack common sense & are very poorly educated
Yes, they could be, but then walmart would have to stop selling and then no one would be at the registers because there would be no customers.
Yeah, and my receipt is usually in my pocket on my locked phone.
If I have to check myself out I want an employee discount - right?lol
If your not stealing, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
Bruh, here in Spain in most self check-outs we got a metallic basket that when u put ur items in, it self scans everything that's inside the basket. Anything that hasn't been scanned rings the alarm when u exit the store. I don't understand how individuals are stealing so much stuff without alarms going off?
That's not at all how they are in America.
What if you're a indecisive person and want to put things back?
@@bat6594 I never wanted to take an item out but I guess you would take it out of the basket and eliminate it on the screen (where it shows you the items, price and payment options). In the same way, anything not included and paid in the basket would ring the alarm of the store
Wal-mart door scanner things... i haven't heard of them working in the past 15 years. I'm not even sure they're even still plugged in tbh.
What happens if you decide you don't want an item and put it back? Does your basket deduct the item from your total?
Walmart looking so closely at customers stealing…that’s cool and all but how about they look at themselves that closely as well because I don’t know how many times I have to call a worker over to fix a price or notice on a receipt once I got home that I was over charged for an item and have to go back to get my money. Couldn’t they have stopped me before I left the store and said “here’s your money back, we over charged you” 😂 since they have all those dang cameras watching!
Right😂
Unfortunately they do not see genuine shoppers who lose a couple dollars as an issue. They want to worry about themselves only, at the expense of everyone who shops there.
I was mistaken for shop lifting at Walmart the other day, and I let the store employee who stopped me have it alright. Told them I spend thousands upon thousands of dollars here each month and you stop me for shop lifting? I yelled in their faces called the manager over wrote a letter to the district manager about customer treatment. More people need to do this, the guy will never mistake another person for shop lifting again after the way I treated them. Stand up for yourself. If you feel like a criminal when you aren't one that is not okay, and you should say something and make sure they know it is not right.
Let it they don’t pay their employees enough they don’t keep the stores clean they don’t offer healthcare let all the stores close
@@angelwings7_7_7 I know that... I didn't even move my cart, I was still standing there with my wallet out as I was doing 2 transactions at the self-checkouts, the receipt for the first transaction didn't even print out yet before they were in my face accusing me of stealing in front of everybody. Not right at all.
Bahaha they can't see me at all 💯 facts 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had a Wallyworld employee say that their store lost 3000.00 a day from the electronics department. That's not shoppers stealing, that's employee theft. I've never seen anyone walk out w. a TV, DVD player...has to be in back of store.
The thing about walmart listing everything you stole and then slapping you with an air tight felony charge is no joke. I knew a few people who got put in jail because of it. It's been going on for years now.
Good. If Walmart or any mainstream box store has all the video evidence then go and get them!
Good!
So, you get steal like up to 900 dollars worth with no consequence? Check
I my country, its a felony if you steal over just 100 $
Good!
Went into Walmart today and didn't buy a thing but was forced to walk all the way around through the self checkout to escape.
No more Walmart for me.
😂
Do you really expect anybody to believe that if you even go there when you don't need anything? 😅
Walmart is trash
😂
@@liquiddevil7396 I agree the new new generation is soft. I'm an old man so every step in time matters to me
Businesses either close or take precautions to stop theft. It’s that simple.
This is why they should have hired me back in the day when i was applying for loss prevention. Oh well, their loss, for sure 😂
If I ever get in trouble by Walmart because of someone else who looks like me, I’m suing them for everything that I can. Or any other store for that matter.
Ok fatty we’re all waiting for that
And no doubt, that will cost you nothing, and you'll win a ton, since they have no lawyers, etc.
Good luck with that
Good luck with that.
And you'll lose and get nothing besides attorney costs.
If Walmart only has self check out, I would walk out. I went Winn Dixie grocery this past week, the manager told me I had to do the self check out, so I left my cart full of frozen food, and walked out. I told the manager that I wasn't employed there!
Ok Karen
The stronger reason to not patronize stores with self check is that nachines are substituting people/ employees when jobs are so much needed. If they do not support people, I do not support them. Period.
They always help me at Walmart. I am just glad they still have food to buy there.
The WALMART GREETERS: THANK YOU FOR SHOP(LIFTING) AT WALMART 😂😂😂😂😂
Walmart has no customer support anywhere but soon as you get to self checkout there’s 10 workers that’ll swarm around you like the FBI 🤦♀️ that’s why I and many others stopped shopping there. Haven’t stepped foot in a Walmart in over 2 years
'Like the FBI' lol. This is 100% true.
If that were true, why do people have to wait several minutes just to get help from one of those 10 workers?
@@scootermom1791 They're busy talking. You have to wait until they get through with their conversation.

I agree. where else do you know shop instead of Walmart? I don't like Target since I do not want to use confused Gender restrooms and their other agendas.
I went to a Walmart neighborhood market yesterday for the first time in probably 6 months to a year. Never again. 1 lady responsible for 20 self checkouts. Other managers standing around. It was chaos.
I'm back to Publix for the individual service.
The corporate greed at Walmart is overwhelming.
Publix is slowly getting self checkout too
>implying chaos is bad
I wonder if the thieves are the problem
And you somehow think Publix doesn’t have the same greedy corporatists behind it? Interesting.
Our local Walmart has twice had a printing glitch and we were given no receipt. Even after telling the customer service and manager we were told tough luck. Happened twice after hours when no real cashier was open.
Greenville PA Walmart
Wow, many times at Shoprite, my register stopped too, but that's because, during the bagging process, if the platform where your bag sits, doesn't detect you placed the item in the bag, the register locks. The item clearly scanned because you can see it on the screen. The platform has to detect you put that scanned item in the bag, but you paid for it, so why do they care where you put it....
Walmart is the absolute last store I'll go to. I'll only go there if it's literally the only place I can get something. They've created the worst shopping experience possible.
Exactly - terrible shopping experience the few times that I have gone there other than the pharmacy area for my dog's medications....Luckily, the pharmacy is near the entrance and I don't have to toggle around the store. I also try to avoid ALL self-checkouts.
Every Walmart is different, I noticed the bigger cities are much worse than the smaller ones.
I 5000% AGREE!
Tacky store
@@xrrrismickey And the tackiest people. Though if you like obese people covered in tatoos and have purple, green or blue hair then it's the place to go.
I understand what they are trying to do but the fact they can read someone's text messages is just a little unsettling. Unfortunately, with the rate of inflation increasing, it's only going to get worse.
almost every single application you have on your phone reads everything and sees everything you do.
The cameras are good. One of the two Walmarts in my town have these cameras and they can file a theft report online because they can zoom in and see a good for nothing thief’s driver’s license in their wallet when they open it to pay for the items they did scan! 😂

If i saw a walmart associate open up the computer to find out why self checkout froze all of a sudden I'd start laughing in shock, frfr.
"What are you looking for?"
"Are you a tech guy?"
"Why are you working here when you can invest your time in technical services?"

If youre not stealing, then theres no reason to be scared.
Your worried about Walmart “always watching you” when your carrying a cell phone that’s constantly literally tracking your every move ,hearing your most personal private conversations, seeing …yes it’s hot a camera that’s always on literally “Seeing” everything you do… everything!!
You’re x2
Yes, you're right.
With the data sharing Walmart knows you are driving to the store, what you took using AI cams, and where you went afterwards.
EXCELLENT POINT 👏👏👏👏👏
Exactly! (To the original poster)
I'd like to know what people actually save at Walmart.
It cannot be enough to justify such a miserable shopping experience. 🤷🤦
Don't know refuse to shop there
But I’m not trying to steal anything so I don’t care if they watch and I save quite a bit compared to the Harris Teeter down the street
My flex card is only accepted at Walmart in the town I live in.
I'll say this, time and money. The prices are low, and you just need to go to one shop (walmart) to pick up just about everything on your list that you need.
Just in Walmart? How do you know?
I can feel myself being watched from the second I enter the parking lot in my car. I also have a friend that works for Zebra. I live in Arkansas at the headquarters. Anyway, my friend does the bar scanning devices. He’s shown me some cool stuff!!
If people would stop stealing excessively, they would stop needing to be watched excessively.
I don't like being treated and assumed I am a criminal until I prove otherwise by showing a receipt. I don't shop WaImart any more!!
@@kendogzx1130 You DO NOT have to show a receipt at Walmart. I don't: I tell them to move out of the way as I keep walking out the door. THEY CANNOT STOP YOU sans accusing you of stealing.
If you go to Sam's Club, or any "retail club" then you DO HAVE TO SHOW YOUR RECEIPT.
Former loss prevention for Walmart. And this was in 2016-2017 the regular cameras around the store we can zoom inside your bag, read your texts, see where your eyes are looking. They have been able to see for a while.
We were told if they steal less than a certain dollar amount it wasn’t even worth the stop soooo yeah 😂
Well.. how much was the cut off then?
$20 ?????
So don’t carry a bag, wear sunglasses and use privacy glass on phone or leave in car.
“Noted”
This is nothing new. 20 years ago my identity was stolen. Target is the one who caught them-target took me into a room where they had a wall of monitors like this. They showed me the video of how they followed her thru the store with cameras (they NEVER ONCE lost surveillance of her) and zoomed into her license plate in the parking lot-As she went to her car. I was glad they caught her but it completely freaked me out that they could track us like this. I told everyone that this is going to come back to haunt us-this is about the governments total control of us .
Terri gets it.
@@catterpillar9728 ♥️
Corporate influence and control
Looking at this video I see why this is happening judgement
Did u get the person, press charges?
YET with all these cameras, I had to jump through hoops to convince customer service that bar code was inadvertently scanned twice and the 2nd time, bar code showed up differently on my receipt by ONE number.
I asked them to review the footage but Walmart said they couldn't do that 😂???!!!!!!
Just did a month long supreme court jury duty. You wouldn't believe how many felony shoplifting cases from Walmart I heard everyday I was there.
My daughter worked for Walmart in Salt Lake City Utah... She said even if they witnessed a customer shoplifting they were not to do anything about it. THE SECURITY CAMERAS HAVE CAUGHT THEM & WE ARE COLLECTING EVIDENCE ON THEM, THEY WILL GET A FELONY AFTER THEY HAVE DONE THIS.. STEALING TOO MUCH THAT THEY CAN NEVER REPAY. She said Walmart waits for you too be in so much debt & you will get a FELONY..
A felony doesn't mean sht if the D.A. won't prosecute.
How much equals a felony?
@@yannip2083 I am not sure. She said she felt that was very sneaky of them. But she said they plan it when the person is poor & down & no way to pay back.
And debt high
They want the person behind bars & doesn't want them out by the sound of it.
It's more than money
Have you noticed the shelves in the stores are different
More & more things are going behind glass doors
Jesus is coming
TRIBULATION will start soon
They can't get you for stealing something in a previous time, they have to catch you walking out the door with the stuff in order to prosecute.. Video footage won't hold up in court.
@@Yonggbaek not true.. I thought that also
Back when I was a kid, we had real people running checkout lanes, prices were cheaper, and theft was lower. It's almost like they shouldn't have replaced jobs with machines or something.
Don't know if you remember or not but President Nixon issued price controls on groceries because food prices went out of control in the early 70s. Women picketed at grocery stores around the USA. I can't explain the rise in theft since then. It's just a question nobody can answer.
And WE LIKED IT ! WE LOVED IT !🦼
We also didn't have barcodes. A cashier stood or sat at a cash register and keyed in the price of what you were buying. Now everything has a barcode or QR code. The time will come when we have one tattooed on our foreheads. I understand something has to be done about shoplifting but like everything else it goes way overboard. If they are saving all this money by not paying people to check out your purchases, then why haven't prices gone way down?
@@Miami7 There are some uncomfortable truths that you need to be acquainted with about modern society. It's never going to be the way it was before, ever again.
Self checkout was around twenty years ago. People are getting to bent out of shape over this.
Fight back and load carts with the most expensive perishable food's and leave it sitting in an aisle, if your are questioned as to why tell MalWart you forgot your payment method 😂😂😂😂😂
Boycott Walmart! It’s not difficult to shop elsewhere!
A few years back I went grocery shopping at Walmart. I went to self checkout, scanned all my stuff about $2 hundred and went and unloaded it in my car. The store charged 5 cents for plastic bags so I didn't use bags. I realized after I loaded my car that I had not paid for any of it. Went back in the store and asked how to make the payment. I was told I would have to bring everything back in and start over, which I did. The system really sucks when you're honest about it.
They should have been able to suspend your transaction, which prints a barcode that saves what you scanned. It's possible it got misplaced.
What do u mean u scanned it all and didn’t swip it card to pay for it u just scanned it all and walked out? No door guy that asks for receipts
Maximize profits and minimize employees as much as possible they are gonna continue creating more technology to eliminate employees they spend millions because it’s long term and nation wide and other countries duh why would anyone ask that question millions over paying another employee u gotta
OH HEEEYL NOOO....IT'S MINE....
That's didn't make sense how you realize you didn't pay for any of it if you had a about a total!! The system sucks? You realize that was on you not the system! Tf
Self checkout has got to be one of the worst ideas in retail history yet so many companies are getting on board with it. Even ones who are big on positive shopping experiences like Publix. Such a shame.
Two main reasons why. The first is people shop at the cheapest places (or walmart would have gone under years ago) in the vast, overwhelming, majority and this keeps costs down so they can compete on that front. It doesn't matter what you think or say about self checkout, it matters where you spend your money. The other is the current labor shortage, though this is only going to last a couple years. Also as an aside checking out is no longer as demanding of specialized knowledge as it once was and checkout machines can do all the tricky stuff like get the sales tax right on everything and have the entire inventory's prices memorized, rules for current sales (ie bogo or btgt or buy 3 fourth is free, ect.) and so on. There still is specialized knowledge a cashier might need and yes they do typically know how to their job better than some random customer off the street. If they say bagging a certain item with another isn't a good idea you're assertion 'it'll be fine' A) tells them you're not to bright and likely to blame them when you're insistence on a bad idea back-fires. I don't tell people how to do their jobs, at worst if I've done that job professionally I might ask a question or give advice, but then I LISTEN to what they say in response.
The whole self-checkout thing is social-conditioning. The goal is to eradicate any need for cashiers and save on payroll, employee benefits, etc. Once enough people are comfortable with it, the layoffs will start. This is why virtually every chain store has self-checkout lanes.....
@@_XR40_ Nothing so tin foil like. It's just a competitive advandtage. If they could make more money having 20 cahsiers on duty all the time, that's what they'd do. been going on for a long time. Creats jobs in desgn and manufacturing that didn't exist at the expense of a a few jobs in service. Net gains all around except the people that have to change jobs.
@@_XR40_yes , and most companies can't afford 15 dollars an hour minimum wage, without increasing priced on purchases.

The local stores in small towns in Oklahoma (Walmart included) simply post a picture of the shoplifter stating a 'ban'. If the ban customer shows up they are considered trespassing and police escorts them out of the store.
When I was growing up in the 60’s kids would go through a ‘phase’ of shoplifting. I got caught and it cured me of further attempts! It was very embarrassing, they called my parents who were mad as hornets! The manager told me the only reason he didn’t call police was because his own daughter had been caught shoplifting the week before. I went back to the store a few days later on my own to apologize to the manager. The reason I tried to steal? Just to see if I could get away with it. Lesson learned!
That is called "Accountability". This is lacking in today's society.
Same
. *If you are Brad Williams, you can walk out the door with all the Keebler cookies and Lucky Charms you want without paying for it.*
I did that too. A pack of gum...just to see if I could do it. CAUGHT! I'm a bad shoplifter.
Can I tell you the same thing happened to me it was 1967. I stole two colored pencils they were $0.06 each $0.12. From Gilmore's card shop. I was mortified. The worst part was the disappointed look on my mother's face the embarrassment I caused her. Never again in my life have I stolen one single thing. I also had to walk to the store hey and apologize to the manager or the owner should say. Never again. So when I've had that alarm ring accidentally because a cashier didn't scan a tag correctly it sends me over the edge.
This would have never happened if people weren’t constantly stealing. There’s a Walmart in my old hometown that had to shut down because the theft was out of control. If I’m in a store I don’t care if they’re watching cause I’m not a thief and if they wanna check my bags go for it. Ain’t gonna find anything.
What y'all fail to realize and will never see, is that this has Nothing to do with people stealing. It has everything to do with surveillance and control. Get your Laughs out now. Cause In less than 10 yrs you all will be crying.
ALL of these major stores have this facial recognition surveillance. ALL OF THEM. They are just informing you about it now to get you ready for the next few control tactics they're preparing to roll out for you and your families.
Yep
You shouldn't be so willing to be treated like a thief if ur innocent... legally they aren't supposed to stop you unless they know for sure.
Facts
I’m always surprised how mad people get having their order checked. They treat it like an attack. ‘How dare you think I was stealing!’ If it bothers them that much shop somewhere else! Stealing is out of control.
One of those machines has stolen $20 from me 😂😂😂
When I see a whole bunch of items locked up in a store. I say to myself self, "this is not the type of store you should be shopping in" I make a U-turn and I leave.
I bet you dont
My daughter worked at walmart, they let an employee steal thousands and finally arrested the girl and walked her out in cuffs, yes they use it to make theft a felony
That's fabulous!
So they let you think you're getting away with something and that you're beating the system and then, BOOM! Hello Mr. Handcuffs!
I shoplifted at Walmart when I was homeless. Dr Scholls shoe inserts when my shoes had holes worn in the soles, walked out with them already inside my shoes. Ate food in the bathroom before leaving, used over the counter meds in-store when I was sick, etc. This was over a decade ago
So staff can shut down a register at will?
That explains why mine always seemed to go haywire and required assistance when Lisa was working at my local store.
