Btw, i was at a Wal-Mart few yrs ago and saw a guy stuff a new pair of jeans down his sweat pants. I notified an employee who just shrugged her shoulders & walked away.

I have met someone like Williams many years ago in my own youth. They did as little as possible whilst on shift but made bogus complaints about customers simply to make it look like they had been vigilant and on their toes the whole time. They were required to fill in a register on the hour every hour of anything that happened of note within the store but when you read the register back, in comparison to all the other shifts that were quiet and un-eventful, this guys seemed to have dramatic things going on all the time. It was after watching the CCTV footage of those so called incidents that management realised that it was all fantasy. Needless to say, the guy never made it to his third week.

I found the store and eventually founded the manager, whom I've never seen in my life. She looked me in my face and lied to me, saying she caught me stealing. I went to the police station, they said they didn't have any records of the incident. I later end up testifying against her in another case she was involved in, after I saw it on the news. She was claiming they had stolen something also.

Loss prevention in general is a liability and they cost their company WAY more than the total value of assets that they recover. Walmart wasn't expecting the guy to win since unfortunately, most lawsuits against retailers are dismissed since the judges are in the retailer's pockets. WinCo Foods, Gelsons, and Nugget Markets are a few such examples. On the East Coast it's Bealls and Market Basket.

It started to upset son, but I told him let me do something. Didn't want son buying into that trap. So I approached man said "were shopping same things today. What do you think about this or that"? He barely talked, acted like he was moving on. I did this every aisle we were in. As we were checking out, him still watching, I loudly said "ok security man following us for an hour, after check out we're going to customer service. Come on ,keep up " some around us laughed, he left mad or or embarrassed, not sure which. We returned everything, said no longer want or wrong product, whatever for reason. Went to Target across street, in/out no problems.

What's sad about this story is that WalMart is NOT responsible, and actually DID fire the employee. The jury should not have held them accountable. Blk people are always on the lookout for a quick payday, and there are plenty of bottom-feeding lawyers available to aid them with this kind of hustle.
