I would have walked up to them and started asking them questions. That would have let them know that you was on to them. I mean who decides to want to steal something at 2 in the morning at Walmart? The one by me has all the good shit behind the glass anyway.

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.

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.

Oh it's fun...it's like a cat stalking a mouse....esp when they steal something, then you can start asking a bunch of questions about the product they just concealed. You don't accuse them of anything...just start asking general home improvement questions.

tis very exciting

Indeed. I am not so sure being labeled as a novelty is so bad though. Novelties can be just fun unique items, which IMO is a positive.

That's how it is here. We've found that harassing them with customer service works because thieves don't want to get caught. If you follow them and keep asking them if they need help, they'll likely throw the item down and leave. Also another trick we did is, another manager caught a kid stealing condoms, so he took the opened package, held in front of the kid, and asked the kid if he needed help finding anything //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif The kid panicked and left without the condoms.

I fvcking hate the douchbag standing at the doorway who checks the receipts when she just watched you pay for it...it creates this giant line and basically elimininates any chance you have of getting in and out of there in a reasonable amount of time...it's beyond annoying and I usually just throw the receipt at her and say some thing to the effect of "here you just watched me pay for it"...

They only do it at the one by my house...I would if there was another place to shop within 25 miles but sprawlmart already crushed them all.
