Profiled at Wal_Mart

WOW.......amazingly funny you say this happened. I have a story, from around 8 years ago @ a K-Mart, before wal-mark ***** slapped it........same deal.......4 or 5 guards checking me out....I was @ auto, sporting, electronics, cd's, and all....and everywhere I went, I was watched. I acted on it, though. I went to the dressing room, and pushed out a fairly small turd........very small. Looked like a skid mark when I used my boxers to wipe....lol.Anyway, 5 minutes later, I tried to walk out the front doors, and the door guard noticed the "bulge" in my pants pocket and very roughly grabbed me......."and what the hell do you have in your pants?" he said........"boxers".....I said........" oh, I crapped myself......and wiped w./ them" and I acted like I was gonna put them in his hands.........He jumped out of his skin.............lol....lol....lol.....Then just threw them in the outside trash can..........

Uh-huh....

suspicious looking characters

How do you that's why they were following you?

How do I know? Ever just had an uneasy feeling? And every time I looked around, there they were. Looking at other merchandise(of course).

Yes, but you specified that it was only because you were black. Did they tell you that?

"You're black, so we thought you might be a shoplifter."

Anything like that?

I don't shop at walmart. I'm in the dark here I guess.

just take things off random shelves and put them on other shelves.

walk around for a while and do this. then do that cellphone thing when you have their attention. and then when you are ready, have a few things in your pockets, and run to the front middle of the store you know where they have things on the walls behind the registers... make it look like you are booking out the front - and then stop and look at the cheap guitars. and when one approaches you, ask him if its a good guitar - and pull out something from your pocket thats like 'how to play acoustic guitar' and ask him if this could help teach you to play!

lol. just get something that they think you are about to steal and pair it up with one of those items behind the shelves. haha.

I guess it's different there, we're not allowed to touch them or search them unless a manager or an LP person actually sees them stuffing product into their pockets, or something similar.

Now you worded it different. I can't just randomly mug people. If I see them take something, then I can confront them as they leave the store. Also only LP's are allowed to confront thieves

Uh-huh....

Are you really that immature? The company has to pay people to fix the shit you asshats mess up, not to mention that when you hide merchandise on shelves, it'll throw off inventory. Plus the cell phone trick doesn't work. The only time I leave the office is when I see someone take something. I look back and know who that person came in the store with. Only time I follow people for no reason is in the evening when the store isn't busy and I'm bored because there is nothing good going on on ca.com.

I'm sure it may seem like this, and maybe in your area it's true, I dunno. I do know, however, that I have been similarly followed in Wal-Mart on several occasions and I'm not a minority.

im not a minority either. but as i got older, it seems like im targeted a lot less, to the point of basically not ever being bothered at all anymore really.

im am just assuming the younger blacks get a harder time though. but the age thing does apply in my opinion. like during the school year, the 7-11's have a 3 student at a time rule, and all backpacks need to be left at the front door. i walk right in and see a line of 8 kids or so waiting to get into 7-11's lol. kinda ****ed up

At night I follow anybody for shits and giggles. I don't care if they know I'm following them. I generally target teenagers and the rare black that wanders in.

thats odd lol. our walmarts are the EXACT opposite. there are almost nothing but blacks and mexicans and im usually the lone white guy haha.

I live in Northern Michigan //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif Approximately 98% of the population is white, so blacks are a novelty here and must be followed.

I shit all over a toilet seat at Walmart in Orlando. Some ****ing Hispanic employees were yelling at me in Spanish, and I didn't know what the hell they were saying so I craped all over their toilet.

yea it depends.

when i was working at lowes i was called upon a few times to watch suspicious people. very uncomfortable i might add, i dont like it.

but none the less, we could only watch them and, ask if they needed help etc. then if we saw them take anything, we just had to tell LP.

LP told us, that we cannot do anything besides tell them that they were caught stealing until we got some sort of license for detaining anyone. i left before i heard of them doing that. lots of people just walked out with the items and we were told to not touch them, just let them go.
