Endive Wombat: What exactly was this employee's goal? Is this guy trying to be Mall Ninja's idiot side kick?

Like, I am all for the occasional vigilante justice, but come on man...you are paid like, what, $11 an hour? You are going to potentially murder, I mean, MURDER, KILL, SEVERELY INJURE for life, some idiot teenager over a few stolen items from a faceless corporation that honestly does not give two shiats about you?

What were the heroic accolades this guy thinks he was going to gain from this?

Yeah, little shiat bag, sticky fingers, thieving teen needs to face his crimes. But what the hell man?

Uh kid didn't steal anything, sure he may have had intent but then he did the right thing and put them back. This doesn't make him a shoplifter or a thief.

The Hero Role: You're doing it wrong.

mauricecano: Uh kid didn't steal anything, sure he may have had intent but then he did the right thing and put them back. This doesn't make him a shoplifter or a thief.

Doesn't make him a "customer" either, which is how the article described him.

"Either way, even if you are intending to steal, then do not, cant you still be charged with intent?"


No.

Walmart: Knocking down prices AND customers.

THIS BRAVE EMPLOYEE WAS STANDING HIS GROUND

I'm skeptical that the victim actually put the stuff back, but still holy fark that Walmart dude is a psychopath.

"Just cuz it was wrong." Bullshiat. You put the shiat you were going to steal down because you knew they were onto you.

LittleMissStubborn: Walmart: Knocking down prices AND customers.

/chuckle

Whiplash!!!: "Just cuz it was wrong." Bullshiat. You put the shiat you were going to steal down because you knew they were onto you.



So,no theft was committed.


Who's in jail now?

Someone who works at Wal-Mart was sober enough to drive?

FTFA: "Changed a little but how life is, how much meaning we have -- how much meaning I have," he said.

Sounds like the kid took a pretty hard knock to the head.

/or has the IQ of a shoplifter

This shows the level of people who Wal-Mart hires.

Anyway, call a lawyer, kid. A good one. Sue.

As written in the Constitution, If you are killed during the commission of a crime, regardless of said crime's severity, those involved cannot be held accountable for your death. You want to steal from Wal-Mart? Fine, but don't get upset when I put a bullet through the back of your skull, execution style. Live like a thug, die like a thug.

If you are going to steal, then be creative about it. For example, I've got a bunch of old VGA graphics cards that are worth about five cents a piece. Every few weeks, I go to Wal-Mart, buy one of the "top-shelf" cards for $500 and take it out to the parking lot. I swap the cards and then return it for a full refund. Then I sell the newest card at half price to a repair company that my friend owns. He recoups the cost and then some when he installs it in a new build. Unless you count some Chinese company that churns out hundreds of thousands of cards, it's really a victimless crime. And until China gets even a remote handle on their rampant intellectual piracy, they can kiss my ass.

However, if the Wal-Mart employee caught me, I am prepared to die.

If the kid had actually shoplifted, I'm ok with him being run over. But he didn't, so ya done farked up Mr Ferguson.

good work valued employee

I don't really care who is in jail. I'm just saying the would be thief is a farking liar and I hate that.

Came here to express my "WTF am I reading" sentiment over his statement, see that it's been covered.

Endive Wombat: Like, I am all for the occasional vigilante justice, but come on man...you are paid like, what, $11 an hour?

I pretty much guarantee he's paid less than that, probably something in the area of $8.00- $9.00 an hour, and they won't give him more than about 30 hours a week because if he was a full time employee they would have to give more benefits. Basically he's a moron. If you're treated the way Walmart treats its employees and you do more than the absolute bare minimum required to not get fired you're a sucker.

tukatz: Nothing To See Here: For gawds sake, he did have his Blue Light flashing . . . .

That's Kmart.... fail.

What the heck is the difference?
Never been to either one.

Wow. That's the most I've ever heard of a WalMart employee doing.

So THAT'S why there are only 3 lanes open during the busiest shopping hours!

/hates walmart
/hates their customer service
/hates their arsehole employees' attitudes

The hell with it.

So you're cool with a Walmart employee acting as judge, jury and executioner? So much for due process

IIRC, some laws state that concealing the merchandise=stealing it, whether you leave the store or not.

I'm also curious about what the "Walmart seat" is, as in:

"I went back and put them in the Walmart seat just because it was wrong for stealing,"

He doesn't word good.

Boxcutta: The text on the photo was supposed to say, "...and stay out of the Woolsworth!"

Both of the ones you posted do say that.

Perhaps his meds aren't on the $4 list and he can't afford them on a Wal-Mart salary.

/Haldol's on there though
//Sounds like he could have used a hit.

Every once in a while I read a story about how some poor employee got fired for stopping a shoplifter, and I think it's a horrible policy. This event makes me reconsider.

CSB.

I had some friends in college that would grab the bar codes from similar but cheaper products, print them out on labels and place them over the more expensive products, then go through the self-check. They'd later peel off the label return the item without a receipt for a full-priced return in Walmart gift cards.

Well that's the weirdest cache refresh thing I've ever seen. Hopefully I don't get run down by the IT guy on the way home.

bluorangefyre: Those calling him a dumbass should instead call him a genius. He's probably tried everything he can to get fired from Wal-Mart with little success. This will get him fired for sure!

/DRTFA but I once was almost fired for chasing somebody across a four-lane highway

All you have to do to get fired from Wally World is to ask for a decent salary and benefits.

What the fark? If you're going to return something without a receipt, why the hell would you fake check it out in the first place and go through all that effort? I mean, just steal the product and return it for store credit later.
