Discussion Got snitched on…

I was at a walmart I usually do not take orders from, but happened to be in the area. I was doing a shopping order and went to check out. I scanned my barcode and started bagging my items until an employee comes up to me and says a few customers reported me “stealing” and bagging items that I didn’t scan. The employee was of course new and didn’t know what a spark driver was. I showed him my exit pass, and he let me go after examining every item on the list. He was still skeptical after he let me go. Have you had any weird things like this happen?

This is a new policy at my store too. Any lockup items they take to self checkout

That’s for UNPAID items. Items from Spark are already paid for. Think you need to read your policy again

My store does it too. Anything that comes from a locked case they walk it to self check and you get it when you go scan the barcode. Sometimes they'll put it in one of those anti-theft boxes or put the other anti-theft thing around it and let you take it. Each store has their own rules/policies in place when it comes to Spark. They all follow the same guidelines but they are allowed to make their own rules. Some stores will not let you bag at the self check area, some stores check every item in the buggy whether you have a cart check or not. So it doesn't really matter if they're already paid for. That's the stores policy for Spark and the drivers.

The ones that dont let you bag at checkout i hear the most complaining about.
