Feel Free to Steal Anything under $25 at Walmart. No charges will be laid. Merry Christmas!

I work for Walmart in Columbus OH.....I know why the store did not pursue the person pick pocketing the customer. As of about 6 months ago Walmart got rid of the Loss Prevention Dept(Store Security).

Walmart said they were wasting to much money on pressing charges against people who would steal anything under $25.00 then the person would just have to pay a fine and that is it. They will have to have been cught 3 times stealing before charges will get pressed against them. They would no longer be allowed in the store.

So because of this and it was done in Walmart....Walmart would have to file the charges on behalf of the customer since it was done in the store and according to Walmart that just takes to much time and money. That is probably why they would not help the customer.

You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two

My wife and I were Christmas Shopping at the Wal-Mart at I-45 and Luetta in Spring,TX. on Sunday evening Dec 10,2006.

While Shopping in the store my wife's wallet was picked and the money removed. I understand the absentminded mistake is our fault for not keeping a better eye on the wallet in the first place, BUT what upsets me the most, is that when Store Management was involved they did nothing to prevent this from happening to another customer ever again.

When I offered to Identify the individual on the security camera, they would not let me do so.

By this action they allow crime to happen in their stores and do nothing to prevent or offer a plausible solution to fix this problem. By these actions to do nothing about it they put their customers at risk of Robbery in broad daylight in the Toy Section at the Local Wal-Mart.

I am forever appalled and shall this day forth boycott anything to do with Wal-Mart until they resolve this critical issues in their security dilemmas and their blatant disregards for customer SAFETY.

Thank-you and Happy Holidays

Murder at Wal-Mart

One of our CSM's got murdered / shot in the head in the store on a busy Sat afternoon.(Many familes and children were present). Management knew she was being stalked and her ex boyfriend had threatened to kill her several times.

They were informed each and every time he came in the store. Brilliant management moved the money podium, BECAUSE OF A MEMO, away from the front of the store, where she could see 180 DEGREEES around her, with her back to the wall, to the middle of the friggin candy /softline main aisle , exposing her 360 , so she was looking at back end of the customers and checkouts.

Her stalker was hiding amoung all the clothing racks.

Walmart has the murder on video. Walmart cares more about their stupid memo's than about employees safety. She died within a 10 day period of this brilliant move. Walmart management and Corp policies don't give a damn about people they care about money and whatever dumb new ideas they can think up. (What's this crap about "flights").

They knowlingly put her in an exposed area.

One of the managers of the store, who leans heavily on her help, and can't deal with a crisis alone, called in the HR mgr, who lives 2 hours away, had to help her deal with everything. He came in and helped everyone, management, the victims family, set up a memorial book, tables, helped with the funeral etc. was there for the assoc. p.s. no one saw that manager for weeks. he was the veritable backbone that kept that store going.

OBVIOUSLY THE STORE CLOSED THAT SATURDAY, SINCE IT WAS A CRIME SCENE AND THERE WAS BRAINS AND BLOOD ON THE FLOOR, ETC. SO MANGEMENT SENT EVERYONE HOME. TOLD THEM YOU WILL BE PAID FOR THE DAY. duh!!! WE KNOW ITS NOT YOUR FAULT YOU CAN'T WORK YOUR HOURS. THERE WAS A MURDER!!!!

CORP WALMART DID AN AUDIT THIS YEAR AND FIRED THE HR MANAGER, BECAUSE THE EMPLOYEES WERE PAID FOR THE HOURS MANAGEMENT PROMISED ON THE DAY THE CSM WAS MURDERED.

WHEN CORP DEMANDED TO KNOW WHO AUTHORIZED THE DAYS WAGES. ONE OF THE STORE MANAGERS LIED/ BAILED, AND LEFT THE PERSONNEL MANAGER HANGING IN THE BREEZE. BECAUSE THAT MANAGER DIDN'T BACK UP HER PERSONNEL MANAGER , WALMART FIRED HIM. TOLD HIM HE COULD QUIT OR BE FIRED AFTER 16 YEARS WORKING FOR WALMART. IT WAS HIS ONNNNLLLY JOB REFERENCE.

DON'T TELL ME WALMART CARES ABOUT IT'S EMPLOYEES. IT CARES ABOUT ITS LAST NICKEL IT CAN DRAG OUT OF YOUR DYING HAND.

No Family Or Friends? The Cult of Wal-Mart Wants You!

I used to be a manager at a Walmart store and its not all that’s its cracked up to be! Most Walmart managers don’t care about the associates and the ones that do get fired!

I worked for Walmart for 5 years and was forced into management or I would lose my job! You have to go through 17 weeks of training by yourself and they expect you to master the ins and outs of Walmart!

After your training they throw you in a store and expect you to improve everyone and everything. All the store manager cares about is money! I consistently heard if this store doesn’t have a good inventory I will not get my 45,000-dollar bonus and mind you the associates are lucky to get a bonus and most of the time it’s a few hundred dollars.

They start everyone out at the lowest pay possible and inform him or her about all the incentives they offer, just to get people in the door. They expect you to be there 80-100 hours a week and you are on salary so they work you to the bone!

I guess all in all Walmart is a good place to work if you have no family or friends, but if you do I suggest looking elsewhere for a job, unless you like to be screwed over by big corporate companies!
