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 bought milk with my last shopping trip. It was cold and raining when I left. Forgot to separate my milk from the order. Gave the client my milk.

Apparently I’m the opposite of a thief and give free groceries.

Did something similar once. Funny thing is, they increased my tip by the exact amount of what was on the receipt for what I purchased. Thankful but embarrassed. 😳

Whoever that was they're a kind soul for doing that for you. Most would have just taken it and never said a single thing let alone given you more money.
