It doesn't matter. Wal-Mart has compared the cost of stolen goods vs. the cost of employing human cashiers (and paying door people enough to give a ****) and figured out that they're still coming out ahead.
StGetoffmylawn1 and ZMAN reacted Unbelievable I just had to put this out there it's been bugging me all night, my wife and I stopped at the porter Walmart on our way home yesterday about 7:20pm as we went through the self-checkout a woman with a overflowing basket proceed to scan we noticed she scanned little stuff and put a couple things in each bag covering the stuff in the bottom then scanned the Gatorade hanging on the sides. Paid for the few things she scanned and left. we were behind her while leaving she smiled at the young man at the door with her receipt in hand that he never tried to look at and said have a good night. We stood there in front of him in disbelief and said that lady did not pay for that stuff he just said have a good night and moshined us out the door. You could see that nothing below the top bags was bagged. It was so obvious, we saw her loading her trunk she took the unbagged stuff out of her basket and put in bags she had in her trunk. I felt like I was in California where ley blatantly let people steal. The young man at the door did not care, Did he know her?
seem2 : Exactly. If walmart cared they would create a system that doesnt allow it. Its cheaper to let the stuff go.
Unless the woman and the receipt checker are in on it. I just heard a comedian on a podcast talk about how he and his friends would rip off Home Depot because the checker was in on the scam...
I'm not sure if it was Target or Walmart, but one of them is allegedly watching people steal and created cases once they reach a certain threshold.
PinkLipstick, Joe and cbear + 1 more reacted The young man at the front may or may not have been in on it, but regardless, he wouldn't have been allowed to go after her for the theft. It is awful to see these things happen and not be able to do anything about it. If she's a repeat offender, hopefully at some point she will be caught.
@CatalinaKitKat :
He could have taken over the cart….what is he at the door for ???? His job is to STOP thief. No one wants to shop where this type of people are allowed to roam and steal.

Yes, but he could be putting himself or other customers in danger if she was carrying a weapon on her. I believe it's a liability issue with the store itself.

The savings of having self checkout are so significant that they honestly don't give a ****. They have internal loss prevention teams for this kind of crap though.
