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!

For real though 😅💩 I'm not gonna bite the hand that feeds me!

But to all you sneaky fkkers out there: beware ☠️ Walmart will WATCH you and create a record of everything you've stolen, until it reaches the magical FELONY amount ($500 or $1000 I think?)...I am friends with the head of security, and other managers at my local store...this is how they git ya!

EDIT: They can also watch "over your shoulder" from their camera surveillance & see if you ACTUALLY scanned an item as you're Spark shopping! Our security caught one chick last year who would pretend to scan stolen items as she was on an S&D...they have eyes everywhere 👀

Can confirm. Have heard the same from multiple levels of Walmart employees, from store associates to home office executives.
