I had the same problem. It seems they show up around the winter
holidays in the freezer section.

I used to visit one in Ipswich with my parents - it was the most
convenient for Mum who was crippled with arthritis. The sloppy dress of
the other shoppers was astounding and I believe Tesco banned people who
wore sweatpants etc.

Why not leave all that knap sack full of valuables in your car
when you go into a store? You don't need that. If you came into
my store, I wouldn't allow that either. Or if you did, I'd have
someone check your back pack before you left. Use you head, Dave.

I suppose I could have done that if I had driven my car there. As I had
written there, I was on the motorcycle. I need the bag to keep things in.

Well, I did need the bag. I would have used it to carry the things I had
bought there. Sorry, but I don't care to wait to check my bag and then
waste more time to retrieve it, nor do I care to risk them losing the
valuables in the bag. They allow women with purses and parents with
strollers.

Not a problem.... I went next door to Walmart. Instead of being treated
as a likely shoplifter I was warmly welcomed, as a customer should be.
Now Walmart gets the business that Canadian Tire used to get.

Sad that stores have to to that but with $50 billion in loses, they have
to take precautions. Even if Dave is insulted.

http://www.3vr.com/sites/default/fil...case-study.pdf
Because of the size of the store and the number of
store locations with similar layouts, Canadian Tire
was looking for a solution to their ongoing problem
with repeat offenders. Once criminals find a weakness
in store security and are able to take advantage
of it, they often brazenly return to the store to steal
again, or try the same tactic at a different location


When you're a company as big as Wal-mart , everything about you is huge,
even your losses from shoplifting. The retailing giant says that it
loses about $3 billion every year from theft, or 1% of its $300 billion
in revenue, Reuters reports.

They admit it and publish it
http://www.wmcactionnews5.com/story/...employee-theft
Bentonville-based Wal-Mart has disclosed in its financial reports that
theft from the company has become enough of a problem to impact its results.

Wal-Mart won't talk about the issue in detail, and the company says it
does better than other retailers in preventing what's known in the
industry as "shrinkage."


At our local WM the security guy was fired for theft.
They did catch the kid down the street from me too, buying an air
conditioner at the self checkout for $10.

Walmart steals from society, so what are they complaining about?

And even worse, they sell stuff that ain't organic, and stuff that ain't
vegetarian/vegan. Shameful company.

Yes. And employees also steal. I did not want to wait at the customer
service desk to check a pack that had valuables in it and then wait
longer to get it back. They let women come in with purses. If they
treated the women as suspected shoplifters they would lose even more
business.

Canadian Tire would not let me in unless I checked the bag. Walmart
welcomed me with the bag.

I get my one prescription filled at the new Walmart. They have the
lowest price and take the GoodRx discount. I used to think another
Walmart was a bad idea. But someone was bound to develop that property
eventually. I can't fight progress. My refusing to shop there wouldn't
change a thing.

I buy my cat food and litter there, too. Better prices than a nearby
"dollar" store or the supermarket.

I do NOT buy groceries there. I've heard some negative comments from my
neighbors. Poor produce, not much selection, drooping, wilted. Based
on these "reviews" I've never ventured over to the grocery side of the
Super Walmart.

I can say I've always been greeted with a smile. Checkout with smiles.
The pharmacy staff is great. I have no complaints about Walmart. Other
than the store is too friggin big.

Got that right! I was there today and by the time I got out of there, I was
exhausted.

I have a funny story about Walmart and online theft. I got an email
from Walmart saying my order for a computer was ready for pickup. Uh,
what? I didn't order a computer from Walmart! Ready for pickup in
*California*?

I called Walmart. Said what the heck? I didn't order a computer.
Turns out the order was placed by a guy named Nuyeng something in
California. Sorry, I haven't lived in California since I was 8 years
old. I sure as heck didn't order a computer.

This idiot was so stupid when he hacked my account he forgot to change
the "reply to" email address. That's how I found out about it.

When I reported this to Walmart, they had a plan. They called him and
told him to pick it up at the Customer Service desk. They had security
cameras set up, police standing by. They arrested him. Kudos!

Of course I had to go through the hassel of changing everything
associated with that card. Hackers are thieves. They need to be given
a harsh sentence for ****ing around with peoples lives like that.

Yes, if nothing else, they are an internet joke but doubtless not

Me either and I shop just about every day, mainly to get out of the house
and move around before starting the day. I shop early in the A.M. and you
would think that would be the time you would see those PJ's. LOL

They're nice to have on hand and no peeling! I admit though that I only
keep a bag or two in the freezer compared to broccoli and vegetable soup
mix, etc.

Yeah, yeah. I've never seen anyone out shopping dressed like that. Not
at KMart, Walmart or... anywhere. Sorry, never. People don't get all
dressed up but they aren't running around in PJ's or robes and slippers.
Sorry but I've never ever seen that.

Not if that's what I'm going to run into! Most of the people I see in
stores aren't wearing bathrobes or PJ's and slippers. They defintely
dress better than that even at the dollar store.
