Walmart Employee EXPOSES What They Do, TikTok Goes Viral

Now more than ever, Walmart and other retailers are asking shoppers to become self-sufficient. And some customers have treated this responsibility as an invitation to add a little something extra to their bags. But even in understaffed stores, shoppers aren’t as alone as they assume . . . As someone—or something—oversees every purchase. Customers are mad at the extremes put in place. Is this how retailers should be treating their valued customers?

Hey everyone! As we make longer videos, and upload more frequently to keep up with the tea, you'll notice different voices on our channel to avoid sore throats (and mint tea!).
Enjoy the video! 🍵❤

If they're constantly watching everyone, why does it take so long to find someone to help in the aisle?!?!

i think it's kinda funny how so many people are so angry about self-checkout, but i ONLY use self-checkout bc i'm WAY too anxious to talk to anyone. i literally can go in, buy my things, and leave without saying a word.

Edit: i'm glad there's so many people out there who feel the same way i do about self-checkout. for the people who want to tell me that i'm ruining my life by letting my anxiety be, or calling me a sheep, you are the problem lol. it's not as easy as 'just getting over it', and bold of you to assume that i'm not plenty happy doing things the way that i do them.

when you miss an item you get caught but when you double scan an item you wont even know until you’re at home… 😅

[lcstqeo]

When I saw myself on their camera, I gave them my middle finger!😂

What's so weird is, they stop legit shoppers at the door for a receipt but let the thieves go with no hassle.

I don't care if stores are taking precautions. I am more surprised how open people are about stealing. It's like a joke to the thieves while honest low income people struggle, more, because of them.

Best Buy lost our business last week because there was no employee to help us get a computer charger out of the locked cage. There was at least 5 people waiting for someone to show up and we weren’t waiting any longer. This is making it so much easier to just buy online.

I quit spending any money with Walmart this year.

[robertdobie]

I have never in my life shoplifted, yet I have been overcharged by checkout cashiers more times than I can remember.

[madpax]

They have staff to watch your every move but they can't have cashiers to help you. Dozens standing around talking but they can't open a register and check shoppers out.

[archerhunter]

If I have to check myself out I want an employee discount - right?lol

I remember going to Walmart recently and items I purchased in store with my own personal debit card, not attached to my Walmart account, showed up in my “in store” purchases. Like how? No receipt was scanned, not Walmart account or linked card was used, how did they know what I purchased? I was freaked out until I just saw this video and it makes sense.

So for item pick ups, Walmart tracks you from the moment you leave your house to arriving at the store. You don’t have to tell them you arrived, they tell you that you’ve arrived. How creepy 😮

I can tell you Walmart waiting to be able to file felony charges is absolutely true. an ex boyfriend of mine was stealing from walmart.he got away with taking more TV's and big items than I can count (we had already broken up when he started this but friends were eager to fill me in afterwards ofc).he was doing big things and was quite successful... except he wasn't. he was allowed to rack up to a certain $ and then he was brought in for felony charges.

I feel bad for the senior citizens that may struggle with the checkout while waiting for help. Also, there is human error, a person could genuinely leave something unscanned by mistake, just as cashiers have.

I was a district Loss Prevention Manager for several major store chains in the early 2000's, and I have to tell you guys, the stores are more focused on watching the EMPLOYEES than the actual customers. I would say 90% of my calls to "review tape" of theft incidents involved EMPLOYEE apprehensions.


The stores have INSURANCE to cover shrinkage, but because the insurance rates are higher at some store locations, that causes the store chain to reconsider whether it is beneficial to keep that location open. I was shopping at a Walmart recently in Sandy Spring, Georgia, which is an affluent community. I noticed an unusual amount of items now locked up behind glass & plexiglass cases. A casual conversation with one of the department managers gave me a startling revelation: Their store had been targeted for shutdown in 2024 if they didnt get control of their shrinkage. That ONE store alone in 2023 had a shrinkage of $3.6 MILLION!! They were in DANGER of losing their JOBS if they didnt get this under control. But my thinking is this, How do you control the PUBLIC to save YOUR job? Its IMPOSSIBLE. That why I would NEVER work retail again.

They have 20 people watching every transaction yet they can't hire more than one cashier. The Billionaire Waltons don't want unskilled people getting uppity.

[soarornor]

So if this is the case, why do we continuously get videos of people helping themselves to heaps of merchandise with no interference from the store? There’s something totally fishy about all of this.

[JuliusMays]

Funny how no one is holding the actual thief's accountable. That's the problem not the cameras.

[oscaralvarado]

I don't even steal but when I saw those monitors drawing a square around my face, I just walked away and never went back.
