So, I go to Walmart tonight, bought a few items. Told my cashier this story, she just shook her head at what nonsense it was. The guy behind me in line says, well, they (Walmart) are run by criminals.
So I said, I guess it’s open season on Walmart, then.
BTW, my cashier was a young black girl, the dude behind me was a white guy (like me).
Except I don’t think you get to shoplift at Walmart for free.
But hey, that’s just me.

The Walmart nearest to me has an overwhelming shoplifting problem, so bad that they keep the option of closing the store on the table. Everyone knows how bad it is, but rarely is anything done about it. I used to actually watch people and their children steal while standing in the checkout line. Adults and kids pocketing the small items near the register, and just as often, items in or under the cart not being rung up, or even items passed out of the basket to children who just walk past the register with their new stolen toy. The cashiers are aware of it but can’t keep an eye on everybody as they are ringing things up. It disgusts me, so when a person ‘accidentally forgets’ to tell the cashier about the case of beer under the cart I remind them that it is there. Or when one of their children either pocket or start eating a candy bar taken off the shelf next to the register, I say “don’t forget about that candy bar”. I’m sure none of the thieves appreciate it, but it really bothers me that the parents allow their kids to get away with it, and the parent obviously knows they didn’t pay for little Miguel’s candy bar he’s eating as they walk to the car. This mindset that is plaguing the nation that stores “owe” them something, or that it’s OK to steal, but only from stores fitting the criteria of some nebulous size, is wrong on so many levels, hurts everybody to some degree, and is not without repercussions on a basic financial level, as well as the moral bankruptcy God most surely will collectively punish the nation for.
Now we have so called university leaders teaching that stealing is acceptable. Doom on him!
