No Wonder Walmart’s Sales Have Gone Down This Year…

@YourMomsSecretCrush exactly. But they could manage their Asset Protection department much better. When I was working at a nearby super center 10 years ago there’d be customers walking in and out and never buying anything and doing it frequently smiling as they walked out wearing baggy clothes. I had my suspicions and later a cart pusher told me about one who he witnessed throwing a couple dozen packages of bacon into the trunk of his car, he had them stuffed under his baggy shirt and down his shorts. He said he saw this guy coming in and out several times for about a week. His had a getaway driver who took off quickly after he jumped into the car. Asset Protection never could seem to catch these people in the act and stop them. Broken cameras in certain areas and they knew it but the manager wouldn’t have them replaced. manager didn’t want to fix things in the store because it would cut into his annual bonus. And instead just raise the prices of those stolen items after a store inventory caught the losses.

@cherokeepatti during my 13 years at Target, 3 of those were in Asset Protection. Back then....... 2010-2013, Asset Protection had teeth....... now, they are glorified Door Greeters. if i ever did decide to turn to a life of crime, it wouldnt take much effort to clean them out.

@YourMomsSecretCrush When I was working at Walmart they hired one Asset Protection guy who was incredible. He caught more shoplifters than the rest of them put together. When it came time for raises they didn’t show their appreciation and he looked for another job. He found one quickly at the local casino. Struck up a conversation with his father in another store, I didn’t know him before, he started telling me about his so. Leaving the job and I told him he was the best AP they had and they lost him.

@YourMomsSecretCrush I didn’t know there were so many ways to steal from stores till I worked as a greeter at Walmart. I couldn’t have imagined all that.

@cherokeepatti they dont even have to be creative or shrewd now. just put it in the cart and wheel it out. if somebody stops them, tell em to screw off, they wont do a thing. thats one of the many reasons prices are high. gotta make up for all the shit thats stolen. people will say that the stuff is ensured, yeah, thats true. but with so many loss claims, what kind of premiums are the businesses paying....... really high ones. and who does that cost in the end........ people who shop there.

@YourMomsSecretCrush I grabbed so many carts filled with I bagged merchandise before they got out of the store with it. Would be pushing stray carts into the line inside the store entrance and hear a cart coming through at a fast clip and turn around and stop it and ask for a receipt. They would always say their wife or girlfriend had the re wilt and they were in the garden center or elsewhere making a last minute purchase. Would tell them go get her and the receipt and bring it to me and you can take the cart. They’d act like they were going back inside and go out the other door and leave.
