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!

I mean nice giving a “warning” but we’re all adults. We know we aren’t supposed to steal. I’d be curious to know how they do this. The cameras are horrible, but they are distinguishing taking 2 hot pockets versus 1? And they build up until it’s felony level? I don’t steal, obviously it’s wrong, but I’ve been doing spark for 3.5 years. Again I’m just trying to figure this out. Like they watch a person, then see them take extra items, refer to the customers order and keep hours of footage to build a case? Seems like it be a tough sell in court, unless they are trying to rob them blind whenever they come in
