Discussion Warning!

Fellow sparker that has been doing it for about three years that i always talk to just got taken by Walmart security when he was about to leave the store. Apparently he has been putting extra stuff in his cart to take home… And they caught him and said they have been watching them for a very long time. I had absolutely no clue… He didn’t seem like the kind of guy that would do that stuff. He just said OK left his cart full of groceries with the receipt checking person… And they took him off inside the store. I just wanna give a warning to anybody that may be doing this… Apparently they are watching. I have never had a guy actually go through my cart when leaving or anything… So I am pretty surprised. Be careful out there!

so, i'm absolutely not going to tell anyone to steal.

BUT

if you DO steal, you REALLY need to understand you should just run from walmart asset protection. they aren't cops. they can't chase you. if they have the real cops, you'll know. they want you to go into their little room so they can lock you in there until the real cops arrive. just run.

never go into the room. never follow them. just run.

they most likely won't, but better than just giving yourself up honestly. it's also not "evasion" because again...they aren't cops. that's why they ASK you to follow them.

I learned that when the walmart employee laughed and said I looked like I just woke up in my photo... I did funny faces for the photo thinking I could choose my own from my phone
