Theft has gotten so bad, walmart is now doing this..

We have two people at each door to unlock the carts. One is a security guard. Also we always have half of our checkouts open and 2 self checkouts. Along with those sensors there’s one at the pharmacy and Starbucks. During busy times we are the only store that has all the checkouts open.

 

Blame it on the people that run out with $1200.00 in detergent or 1k in hbc or just a 600.00 grocery cart.

 

I wonder if they are more concerned with trying to keep the customers or the employees from stealing.

 

Both

 

If anybody is interested the cartwheel locks use the same kind of technology as invisible dog fences. There's a low power radio frequency fed through a single wire making a loop that they bury in the lot and the wheels receive that frequency and lock.

I'm surprised Walmart is willing to spend the money on body cameras when they put up fake cameras in high theft areas all over the store. If you ever see one of those small dome cameras with a single wire coming out of it above the shelving it's a bad fake. I've noticed it a lot but I don't know why nobody's ever mentioned it.

 

America needs to have a national conversation on stealing. In all it's variations. Hopefully it will lead to a society where everybody doesn't feel like they need to kype or pilfer from their neighbors in order to have a satisfactory life.

 

Start chopping off some hands that'll get their attention

 

I kinda think this problem will take care of itself. Stores just close up and leave cities where the communists are in charge. And how would you like to pay a general business liability policy premium for any sort of business in downtown Seattle, Portland, or Minneapolis nowadays?

 

I was thinking more of a national conversation in moral terms. I just went to the grocery store in a car I paid for and bought everything I needed with the money I earned from doing blue collar work. I didn't need to steal it. I didn't need to be part of a flash mob stealing a bunch of sodas and cigarettes from the corner convenience store.

 

Morals change like the wind from one generation to the next from one social status to the next from one culture to the next what needs to be discussed is society going to uphold criminal law if it aint then katie bar the door . A lock keeps an honest man honest sort of deal.
