lol reread that meant it as ty for being the unitrusive guy

Exactly, any kind of suspicious movements can make them lock in on you if you’re seen making them. Now not everyone can be watched at once so it’s a random game of pick and choose, from a customers perspective though. For the LP they saw you do something fishy and now they are either wrong or not. Only so much you can do to conceal yourself as undercover. So now they’re gonna follow you to see if you make any other fuck ups. Best thing to do is walk in get what you need and go. People who stroll around for hours (yes, hours) are highly suspicious, weaving looking around, going into empty aisles etc.

They were doing that at my hometown Wal Mart for years. It was local common knowledge that you could find all sorts of stuff in the trash behind the store and people would regularly check the dumpsters. The whole reasoning was “Wal mart was throwing stuff out”. After several years they finally busted over 20 employees many of whom went to prison.

As an ex AP I worked at target for 3 years I can tell you it’s hard now and days to say who is stealing and who was actually buying. We had crew of guys that were dress like construction workers with hard hats, vest, safety glasses and steal toe boots. They would hit multiple targets in one day pushing carts out the fire exits. I busted a 75 year old lady trying to steal nicotine gum almost 1k worth of it. We had a guy dressed like Santa that would steal protein formula during December from multiple locations. We had multiple people driving luxury cars that would walk in and just take what ever they wanted and walk out.The one that really messed me up was a lady who would take tablets hide them in a kids backpack and would make her 6 year old daughter walk out with them first. After Covid began we could no longer go hands on with people busting people. So we had to wear blue shirt with target logos. Sometimes people are so paranoid I would get accused of following people when I wasn’t. One time I was going to lunch and a lady accused me of following her she called a racists. I’m Hispanic and she was Hispanic as well, said I only followed her because shes Mexican. Funny thing she doesn’t speak Spanish and I do lol. I quit that job to much bs

The idea that shoplifting raises prices is a myth. The stores assume that they’re going to lose a certain percentage to all forms of shrink. This includes customer theft, employee theft, vendor theft, human error, computer error, breakage, and spoilage if it applies. They tack that on to the price, but if they lose less than they assumed they would lose they do not lower their prices or issue refunds. They want customers to assume that the high prices are because of shoplifting.

1st, get rid of self check out. 2nd yave baggers at every check stand. 3rd it is on the cashier and bagger to insure all items are scanned. Any failure is on them.

@@danmilosevich I actually agree with you, that cashiers and baggers would reduce shrink. But how much extra are you willing to pay for all that extra service? You're certainly not going to recoup the additional costs through reduced shrink.

@@Jay_Dahl were we paying for it before the self checkouts were installed? Prices went up at my Wal Mart after they installed them. By your reasoning we should just keep putting up with further incursions on our rights until someone is stomping on our necks with a black boot. Sounds like you voted dem.

@@jasonwilliams8321 Hey hey now republicans aren’t ANY better. Both parties do nothing for the working class.

I happen to know for a fact that there are at least 3 LP guys on duty at one time at the local store.

Many more than that at 90% of stores in Ga. They stick out like a sore thumb too! I'll call them out too if they get too close. Im your HUCKLEBERRY boy. Bring it on Snitch..✔️💯

@@timbrown3800 I'm from GA too, and you are on point with your comment. My husband (now deceased) and I used to go in Walmart and while I did my shopping, he'd wander around, looking for all the "secret shoppers" he could spot, most of the time with an item randomly picked up that he could use as a weapon. You know like a hammer, or baseball bat. Then he'd have a blast spotting them fuckers, and he'd start acting all suspicious and shady, so they REALLY got on him heavy. Once he knew he had a few dedicated solely to watching him, he'd start acting like he was crazy, talking to himself and not making sense, fake having multiple personalities, oh my favorite was his fake Tourettes .. middle of WalMart this 40 yr old man squawking n clucking like a chicken, alternating with SCREAMING obscenities and singing in his best opera voice as loud as he could. Sometimes he'd go down an aisle, and dart to the end and come back up the next aisle so he could run up behind them fuckers and scream, startle the hell outta them dudes! I don't know how in the world he kept a straight face like he did. But he'd have the biggest laugh as soon as we got in the car... He got the biggest kick outta doing that stupid crap! (RIP baby I still miss your laughter and your love everyday.)

Not always just one.

Could be from one to three. People come and go kinda thing

Common Walmart enjoyer L

Stay Mad💀
