It's amazing that Walmart has their loss prevention actually stop people, something similar happened to a friend of mine, but they didn't record it. In my retail days we were specifically told to not accost anyone like that.

Huge variance by state on what they're allowed to do, as I found out when one of these came up before. My experience is similar to yours, but some states let loss prevention people go loving nuts.

I've only had this happen to me once here in Ontario... a dude approached and said "can I see your receipt, sir?" I just said "no thanks" and kept walking. He looked pissed but didn't try to stop me - I don't think they can hold you unless they have actual evidence of stealing.

He looks like he's gotta be 30, which would make her like 50ish or even possibly a bit older. I mean, if she's only like 40 and he's barely 20 then yea he's gotta make some life changes jeez.

Ideally you shouldn't stop someone and publicly accuse them of stealing unless you really followed them every step of the way and saw them walk through the checkout area without paying, with something in their possession that you saw them take with your own eyes(or on camera).

Loss prevention people have to justify their own jobs just like everyone else though, so I assume that pressure leads them to go off half cocked or accuse people based on bullshit hunches. Companies get rid of loss prevention employees all the time if the numbers aren't going in the right direction.

I agree. The guy was a complete rear end in a top hat but the idea of a social media backlash hitting the minimum wage guy really sucks... If it hit walmart in any meaningful way it'd be great though.

No, but if they really think you stole, they can call the cops on you. They're dumb to do that unless they actually witnessed it, though.

Part of me hopes the repeal does go through just so the American people can see what a moron Cheeto Mussolini and his mob are, then hopefully vote them out in 2018/2020, because even though I'm a foreigner the actions of America can be felt all over the drat world.

ehh many of those people are all for "population cleansing" themselves, they just assume they'd be in the winning end of that equation. If that is what it took to get us back on track, though....

that said, the real issue with this train of thought it that nope, people absolutely do not learn no matter how ugly it gets

they just turn around and find a scapegoat for their stupidity (some type of societal minority tends to do the trick just fine), history is rife with examples of this

Yeah, the GOP is nothing if not proficient at finding a scapegoat to get people to punch down at. They'll find a way to blame welfare queens, Obama, anything else and their supporters will eat it up as they lay dying from treatable illnesses that they can't afford to cure.

I think it varies by state, but I think normal protocol is supposed to be either get them to volunteer to put it back, or call the cops when they leave.

We really don't see the beginning of the conversation as you can tell she pulled out her phone after this guy stopped her. He seems to think she has a toy in her cart that is worth $15, but doesn't see anything on the receipt for that much. The toy is discounted to $7 with a price label saying as much. He says he looked it up and when he actual does scan the item he says it's $15, but sheepishly "gives up" and tells her to leave after she calls him out.

Dude lost all his remaining dignity because of $8. Such is the retail life.

Yeah, but a dog doing that to me when I was 6 made me terrified of dogs for awhile. A lab leaped on my back and clawing the poo poo out of it and I wasn't expecting it at all, so I ended up panicking, inhaled some water, and generally thought I was dying. Looking back, she was just being a good dog, but I'd rather have not been scared of dogs for several years instead. :( Being bitten when I was about 3 didn't help either, but still.

I doubt it. The alt-right isn't going away and is steadily getting older.

The future of the GOP is probably less religious, but they're no less racist, sexist, and FYGM/HENRY.
