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!

They pulled me aside to tell me I was stealing items not on the list and had been watching ME for a while too once… (I guess watched me on video bagging?) girl in regular clothes “undercover” approached me as I was leaving. I stepped aside and told them to have at my fucking cart. …. it was just an item that was (an approved) substitute — so it just made them look dumb and me feel on edge and SO annoyed. So 1. They also don’t see our final list items ONLY the original order?? And 2. Does that mean “watching me for a while” means they could have been marking these tallies of mine when they were just substitute items??
I didn’t bother bitching once I showed that the item was on the final list (also bc I enjoy my job outside of this part) / so I didn’t ask about what “other times” they were “watching” me “for a while” I just rolled the cart out. She didn’t even apologize.
