The wife and I were in WalMart today and noticed a guy eating chicken from a bag he picked up in the deli section. He was doing this in the middle of the produce section, which we both thought was a little crude.
Anyway we started talking about it and the wife said she sees this all the time in the grocery section of WalMart
A few minutes later I was in another part of the store and saw the same guy, I casually walked by and sure enough no deli bag in his basket
Guess he just had a free lunch, probably ditching the empty bag somewhere. I thought about notifying someone but then vaguely remembered reading where WalMart, who used to be very strict, has gone real soft on shoplifters.
When I got home I did some research and sure enough they no longer prosecute if the theft is under $25!
Report: Wal-Mart*to charge shoplifters who steal $25 or more - Jul. 13, 2006
The part that really kills me in the article is that Police in some places were complaining about having to deal with too many WalMart shoplifters Imagine that- having to do their jobs
What is this country coming to when one can steal up to $25 worth of stuff at WalMart and not be prosecuted if caught?
