How do people get away with stealing stuff from Wal-Mart through the self-checkout?

Question

I have a friend who steals things from wal-mart by using the self check-out lane and walks outta there with all kinds of stuff. I was just wondering if anybody else does it the same way she does....

Answer 1

How do they do that?? Their security is pretty tight....i would be very surprised if anyone got away with that.....look at all the security camera's in wal-mart!!!!

Answer 2

I used to know 2 guys who could steal "anything" from Walmart. They go to a busy superstore on a Saturday. The term they used was "buggy dump". If they wanted to steal a few big a/c units, they would load up one in a buggy with a few small items and park it somewhere in the store. Do that 4 times. Pay for the 1st buggy of goodies and get outside and load it into a friends car and they leave. Go back in and retrieve the 2nd buggy and walk out the other door. If questioned, they have the receipt. Go back in and get the 3rd buggy and go out 1st door. Go back in an hour later and get the 4th buggy and return it for a refund. Also, lots of people put 2 expensive items in one box (like pet flea/tick stuff) and put the empty box back on the shelf and pay for one and get one free.

Answer 3

I didn't know they did. So, I'm going to be waiting for someone that knows to answer. Then someone that works at Wal-Mart will read this and inform the store.

Answer 4

with ease, as u scan items u skip over the ones u wanna take, man shouldbt b so lazy and give people the oppurtunity. . self checkout lanes? how lazy is society today. U can also for instance, grab something expensive and switch the price tag to something cheap so when scan it it goes through..

Answer 5

There are cameras everywhere at walmart. One day she is going to get caught stealing. The reason why she hasn't been caught is probably she is being a sneaky snake.

Answer 6

you won't get away with it at the self check out regester, but you will get away with it any where else in the store. i have this crazy cousin that she just opens things and put it in her purse right infront of the camera and never gets cought sometimes i question if they have lost provention people working at all. she does it right in front of the camera! its crazy.

Answer 7

They may get by with it as far as getting the items, but in all actuality, they don't get by wtih it from God. He is all knowing and you will always lose something of greater worth in the long run.
