discussion Walmart CEO warns company will close stores if theft doesn't slow down

[theweekend]

his interview screams this like please

 

[MonsterJohn]

stealing from big corp is self care

[gagacasanova]

POV: A bakery manager for a grocery store that has a theft issue:

 

Prices are getting higher, chances of lower prices are at a laughable rate. And they look at the people merchandising this stuff in these stores acting like they did it.  I've had people steal my product because of these prices. Sadly our company policy doesn't allow us employees to stop the theft, we just have to let them go.

 

Theft will always be a thing, no matter the grocery chain. It is not gonna stop because 1 grocery chain is threatening to shut down because of it. You do you, Walmart. I'd like to stop it as much as the next person, but again, my company does not allow me to stop them.

Ok but Publix is the GOAT, they might be a little pricey but everything there is quality. I moved to TX and got stuck with Kroger, it's disgusting.

What I would give to have Publix here

There's alternatives to Kroger sis. Tom thumb/Randalls produce is also really nice. There's also HEB almost everywhere in TX. They are pricier for certain items, but the necessities are all of good quality, clean, and perhaps a dollar or so over Walmart. I don't think I've been to a Kroger in almost 3 years- last time I went was the day before COVID lockdown in 2020.

Good let it burn

[Distantconstellation]

Im gonna continue stealing from the self check out area. Eat ****. Large corporations have stolen from their employees for years. 

 

Any gay here trying to defend walmart will get destroyed in the antiwork subreddit.

Tom Thumb is alright but def overpriced, I don't have HEB near me. Publix is the best grocery store in existence

It isn't the cheapest, I'll agree on that. A $60 shopping bag in Walmart is definitely more groceries than Tom Thumb's. But in DFW area there's only Tom Thumb, HEB (in Plano and Frisco), Target, Kroger and Walmart. Walmart is definitely the cheapest.

Y'all have Aldi in DFW too though

 

HEB is way overpriced, it's like United/Market Street now.  Last time I went shopping there I spent about $25 more than I do at Walmart for my usuals, and Walmart is like $10-$15 more than Aldi at this point.  Just stuff like chicken breasts are $2.98 per pound at my local Walmart and $2.40 per pound at Aldi.

If you can't afford basic necessities there are plenty of places that give them out for free. 

 

 

…doesn’t this negate your entire argument about Publix being too expensive

No. It does not. 

 

Are you trying to say some one who can't afford a Lexus, but can afford a Toyota should just settle for public transportation to get around? What a weird conclusion.

Manifesting this for Loblaws corporation

You brought up free options when someone brought up a motivation for why people steal 

 

Why are you caping so hard for the CEO of Walmart by agreeing with his justification for closing stores?

I'm gonna start stealing from WalMart now. There is nothing wrong with stealing from big corporations like that especially if you're struggling to get by and a banana costs like $1 now lmao. This CEO and the rest of them are charging more, hoarding the wealth, and not increasing wages. It's only fair. 

 

This ******* can cry more. 

Stealing is wrong, PERIOD. 

[katara]

Is it really that easy to steal in US stores? Here in Germany they have these long detectors by the door so it's near impossible to steal anything without the detectors going off.

Yes I brought it up. Do you need more help understanding it. Would you like another analogy? 

 

Gurl. This is getting repetitive. Just read all the comments. 

 

Bye.

I heard you can get past those by wrapping the items in aluminum foil.

 

It's only what I've heard though. Never stolen anything myself other than some grapes when I was a kid.

Really? I thought those detectors go off everytime they scan a barcode that hasn't been scanned at the cash register?
