Then why have self check outs?


B/c giving people 40 hours and insurance adds up faster. The Waltons have museums to fill. I'm sure you understand.

Not at all. There's always the potential you are being filmed whether it's some spy satellite and you just happen to be in its path, someone is videoing in the area and it has nothing to do with you, vehicle cameras, a drone flying by mapping terrain for some survey or other, etc. As technology develops, that potential grows.

Perhaps you should just stay inside?

“Can I see your receipt?”

“No Im in a hurry and it’s on my phone”

“Can I see your phone?”

“Only if you give me yours first”

I didn't DV you, but I definitely do not care that Walmart is filming me to make sure I scan everything at checkout. Why would anybody be opposed to that?

No its not. If you force me to check out my items and bag it, then Im not stopping to have you double check it.

Pretty simple.

I don't do anything nefarious at walmart. But I don't blame those who do. The lines with the self check out are maddening.

Force you? Do you really not prefer self checkout?

In any event, you will either stop shopping there or conform to their rules. Personally, I appreciate a system that minimizes theft.

Or I keep walking out like normal. I only shop at walmart if I have to and its only for 1-2 things usually.

Walmart management wasn't so happy with me when I called the sheriff's office and a deputy responded.


In your mind, this was a great victory and proves you were right and were carried out in glory on your shoulders after winning the big game. In reality, you were just a new story for the managers, "you'll never believe what this guy did today."
It's like all the people who say "I went to court and proved my ex-wife was lying, the judge was laughing I was so good."


quote:

The deputy gave the manager an earful, explaining that Walmart stealing from me is no less of a crime than all the people they have called law enforcement over.


Dear Diary: today, this never happened.

No, not at all. And I dont mind self checkout, anything that gets me out of a store quicker.

It's automatically triggered. I had a guy come check me out b/c of an apple I scanned and held in my hand instead of putting in bag. He acknowledged it's a fluke almost every time. And they aren't walking up on you assuming you're stealing. They are just doing the job the system is telling them to do.

If you actively avoid an employee when they (the system) suspects you may have not paid for something, you absolutely fit the profile of someone who steals.

It's definitely trashy.

The employee that just stands there and expects me to wait in line so they can double check my work?

This thread makes me realize I haven’t been inside a Wal Mart in quite a long time.
