That's probably a good thing. I haven't noticed a "greeter" or better yet "receipt checker" in our local superstore in months. They did make it a little harder to get in and out, but they've even slacked up on that now. So, they might have put you to stocking and I guarantee you would NOT have liked that!!! Btw, Walmart DELIBERATELY allows shoplifters to leave the store on a regular basis. Even with things like TV's. They are not allowed to be arrested or detained by any employee. My brother-in-law worked there for a good while after his wife, my sister died. He told me some of their insane policies. Some are so nutty you wouldn't believe it. It's no wonder they lose an insane amount to shoplifting every single year. I bet thieves just LOVE Walmart!
Sad that the criminal has more rights and is more protected than the business owner.
The real reason is because our laws and system have become so corrupt that even enforcing something like this could even possibly wind you up getting sued. When I was growing up if you got caught they would detain you and it possibly could wind you up in jail depending on the crime. When I was a teen, and I'm telling on myself here, I was caught red handed stealing some batteries, probably D or C cells I think, at the local K-mart. Yeah I know I'm a criminal. They actually detained me and CALLED the COPS!!! I wasn't arrested, but I tell you what, I NEVER stole another thing in my life after that! I also stole a Hershey candy bar when I was 5 y/o and I think a bottle of men's cologne in my teens. So there, it's all out now. Boy I'm so relieved. I've been wanting to confess that for years. Btw, my own cousin caught me with the candy bar and made me take it back.
