Believe it or not, the worst stealing at Walmart is a toss up between employees and those wonderful women with children. I HATE women who use their children, especially the babies, to steal. Nothing like tucking a few hundred dollars of goodies in the stroller under your baby. Imagine how it makes the managers feel to have to call children' services to have them come to take your kids away because you are a slime ball.
And then...the screaming and crying....oh please, don't take my kids. HELLO? Maybe you should have thought about that before you made them a party to your theft?
And if you for one minute think just because you are an employee that your co-workers WON'T TURN YOU IN? Think again. Jobs are hard to come by, and yours doesn't put food on their table. We had a group of 5 cashiers who were more than willing to work out in the garden area. If that didn't make them suspicious, lol...nothing would. Everyone HATED working out there. I actually passed out twice because of the overhead fan set-up...long story, before they stopped sending me.
But when the business out there picked up, check out wise, but the cash didn't, of course security started watching them a lot closer. All five went to jail for theft. They were skip scanning to friend and relatives (who you are not supposed to check out), and literally stealing the cash, too.
Word to the wise....those cameras are not only real, but can read the UPC numbers off the products. Been in the security office and watched them do it.
