@@davydemaseneer999 "wants" and "having no other option" are two very different things. That's like saying Vanderbilt's railroads must have been something people wanted since he made so much money. It was a monopoly. There are regions in the US that don't have banks (bank deserts) yet they still have walmarts. That's how much money Walmart has. They can put stores where no-one else can, and they have the resources to out price the other grocery stores in the area.
Exactly, you can’t take away all the cashiers to save money for your company and then complain when it reveals itself to be flawed. That’s a “their”problem.
They’re forced into it because of the theft problem. Employees are almost always a companies largest cost and Walmart has to cut down on them because of how much they’re losing
@@zackmash851 zack I’m not entirely certain if you realize this but no company on the planet makes 153 billion profit every year much less a retail chain
@✞︎𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖌𝖆𝖛𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖎 @Mike Vachon Selling your time for cash should result in being able to live comfortably when outside of work, not struggling from paycheck to paycheck. So would you say tough shit to them? I don't mean a lavish lifestyle, just actually comfortable enough to not be stressed about being able to pay bills and for food, which is a position that an employer should have enough respect for the employee to pay them a living wage so their entire existence isn't all round shit.
Look man, if walmart can't spare paying more than $15 having to not only deal with difficult customers AND abide by walmarts backward rules, forget it. I'll gladly let Self checkout take over a cashier's job.
@Nicechibi123 Damn right! And it doesn't put any pressure on a cashier when you're trying to get some free items, haha. Wal-mart knows this. They definitely dont mind the theft.
I couldn’t care less about Walmart. I go to Kroger where they have cashiers and baggers who ask me if I want paper or plastic and they smile and are polite. I go to HEB too. It’s really those little things that make all the difference. Human interaction is priceless
As someone who works in retail(a family owner supermarket) , I assure you, it's pay and environment.... A smile and polite interactions come from me to customers who are nice and a job that doesn't overwork me... Walmart underpays and undervalue its employees.... Then walmart is KNOWN for its traumatizing customer base.... like...
@@Garrus86 - Have you noticed that toothpicks cost about $4? There used to be a rule that most companies followed - charge 5 X what it cost you to make it or buy it wholesale. But every corporation, especially Walmart, has a Harvard MBA on every single product, including toothpicks, and they gouge for them. They aren't just making a healthy profit on toothpicks, they are charging as much as they possibly can get away with and making ridiculous profits on every single solitary item in the store. You should be able to buy the damned things for 30 cents and they'd still make a lot of money on them across their stores. Maybe if they tried being decent human beings while running that company people wouldn't want to steal and even worse all around, people wouldn't need to steal. I'm sure there are plenty of people stealing who need to steal to keep their heads above water.
I sold phones out of Walmart once. My female coworker stole over 20k of iPhone and I told them repeatedly she was doing it because phones only disappeared on the days she worked and I didn't. They didn't charge her, just eventually fired her. Then when I left the guy that replaced me and two of the other employees were stealing people's ssn numbers then using them to open fraudulent phone lines to buy phones. Impressive in a way lol.
@@litehold1144 People will steal no matter what, whether the people who run Walmart or any store in general were decent people or not. Greed resides in everyone to an extent.
Great way of putting it but the outcome is the same. Eventually you don't learn anything and remain a idiot. Steal when your self checking out taking a Chance of getting a criminal record. Is it worth it, No.
At the Walmart that i work as a front end team lead we have to have 2 cashiers at self check during the week and 3 at all times during the weekend I don’t know why people say that they are no cashiers 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ and people still try to steal stuff like dude we know what you are trying to do
Wow some corporate America nob gobblers in these comments lol the lengths some people will go to support rich autocrats and disown their fellow common man is astounding.
The day they decided that I, the customer, was now going to become the cashier as well, without giving me a paid training, was the day that I started to suck at my “cashier job”. 😂 OOOPS!!!! 😂
And then the cost of stolen items gets calculated into the price that the honest customer pays. In the end it is coming out of the pockets of your neighbors. Stop stealing from your neighbors.
@@aebalc lighten up, ya sook. I’m making a little joke about how preposterous it is that the more work I have to do at the grocery store, the higher I have to pay for my groceries.
Who could'a guessed that treating employees like disposable cogwheels and getting rid of the most effective security in the entire store would make theft a bigger problem! WHAT A SHOCKER!
Why do people with no skill need a job? And legally they are not allowed to stop thieves...go read their contracts.. but why are you defending low wage jobs? Why can't education be a priority...smh..
@@smitaphilip193 dawg somebody gotta clean stuff and take ur garbage bins and thats a skill in itself and so is dealing with potentially abusive customers all day, if they all quit everything would be in shambles. until ai and robots are actually made to help us and not just profit then we should be grateful for the humans who do their jobs that keeps the world turning and we should treat them better and make sure they get a living wage
Except, cashiers aren't security guards, and they are explicitly told not to confront people they believe to be committing theft. The procedure is to report the event to management after it's already happened because you don't want to start an altercation that could be potentially dangerous.
@@smitaphilip193 because low wage and low skill jobs are good for the economy. It means more people that can participate in society, therefore society is more productive. The best economies have a good balance between the bare minimum needed to live and the maximum you can achieve, and eliminating low skill jobs just breaks off the first rungs of the ladder for those at the bottom.
As a person who worked lost prevention, I quit when my GM said we are going to shift focus from thefts to employees stealing company time, my days became endless camera watching for employees in the bathroom too long or not coming back from break. Sooooo yea they doing to themselves. ☕️
Ugh and putting stuff away came out of your break. Takes 15 minutes to sort through everything customers decided at the last minute they didn't want? You have 5 minutes to take your break and it's a 6 minute walk to the back of the store. Even when we got the full 15, that's 3 minutes of actual break
just… hire more people, it’s so so fucking crazy, they have so much money and could employ so many people but instead they make everyone’s jobs more miserable to squeeze more for shareholders.
Exactly the whole " Theft problem" is bullshit. they would literally have to have lost about 2 billion dollars worth of Walmart crap. Which is physically impossible. It would take a 100 person team of thieves hitting every store in the country 50 times a week. That is just not happening. Fakelation ( fake inflation) is real.
Former Dollar Tree employee. The only time we saw our district manager was his once-a-month manager meetings where he would go over camera footage of our cashiers and have our manager tell him they weren't stealing. We had numerous break ins and people shtting in the back of the store, so we asked for extra cameras for our own safety. Our DM had another camera installed over the cash registers (we already had two). Yeah, he got no loyalty and 14 of us store managers and assistant managers quit out of that one location in the 9 months I worked there.
There was a real nice older woman who worked with my mom at Walmart a few years back. She was hardworking, walked to work if she didn’t have a ride. That woman gave 19 years of dedicated service to Walmart and 6 months before she could retire, Walmart fired the woman and gave some bullshit corporate excuse just so they wouldn’t have to give her benefits
Walmart is famous for doing this. No one retires form walmart they probably added teh self checkout because they knew they'd run out of people willing to work there.
Hewlett-Packard did the same thing to my mom after 22 years right before they merged with compact. Screwed her out of her retirement with just a few months left to go.
I was told to always find out why people are stealing. If they are doing it to survive give them a job, if they are doing it for fun make them earn it. The problem is how big companies banks etc control our daily lives when they could quite easily become the saviors of the world with all that profit but that would be too easy...why cause they don't want people to be happy or survive
You think Walmart should hire people who they catch consistently stealing from them? It might be a nice concept, but I know our AP/LP Coach and he would be vehemently against hiring such a criminal with a record of disregard for the store.
I worked at Walmart deli for awhile. They wanna complain about theft loss, but the amount of food waste they have is astronomical. At the end of the day whatever chickens we didn’t sell got thrown straight in the trash. Legit made me sick to my stomach to see good food getting thrown out like that. Did the same thing for whole pizzas, etc.
Food waste is probably the worst in this country, I swear. We talk about industry a lot and it’s a huge fail. basically means we’re overproducing product and putting farmers through shit or killing tons of animals that end up packaged in dumpsters every month.
Especially because this food could go to help feeding the homeless at shelters and stuff like that. Instead Walmart refuses to help the people when they could.
Not to mention they have you damage the packaging/try and destroy the food before throwing it out if it's dry goods so that people can't just dumpster dive for it. Which, they do anyway.
@@kennethmosley8421 I dont think you understand the supply chain and literally how you are DAY BY DAY for food if you live in a major city. There are so many of you that literally you are one bad event from starving to the end. Also its not just walmart. In the blue cities several stores have started select pullouts. So much that Chicago is talking they may be forced to make a city run grocery store in low income areas because everyone is pulling out of those areas.
@@StoneXueWalmart total numbers across America have increased in the last three years. The whole narrative of storesnpulling out and closing due to theft is just a fake narrative that the Walmart corpos have latched onto because it gives them pity from people.
I worked at walmart years ago and I was invited to join a class action lawsuit because the store supervisor was taking time out of employees pay checks and somehow stealing it.
I worked there years ago and we had a store manager that was stealing flat screen tv's from the store. The loss prevention asked him about it and she didn't work there a few days later. He did lose his job eventually.
Working maintenance for Walmart I saw it all the time. People would walk into self checkout with $500 worth of stuff in their carts but would only scan a few items adding up to $30. Trying to get rid of human labor is what's costing Walmart money.
Looks like that doesn’t happen in every Walmart. Those people at the door always seem to check peoples receipt if you got big ass items or certain electronic items in your bag.🤷🏾♀️
Says a lot about their values when they’d rather shut down stores that amass them 100+B a year versus paying a living wage to actual humans to work. The Uber wealthy and their logic never ceases to amaze me.

@@quintonprice3157 it very much is in their control though. Its not that mobody wants to work. It's that nobody wants to work for slave wages. If wallmart paid their cashiers $20 an hour, they would have a line out the door of people wanting to work for them.

I agree. I miss how great little mom and pop shops used to be before my town had a Walmart, or at least before Walmart drove all of them away due to business.
indeed, my mom grew up in a small town that USED to have a hospital, a furniture store I think, a grocery store or a few and it has a much larger population now, but from when we've went there now, all there is is a few caseys and kiwik stars, and a meat plant. Walmart in another town sorta killed local buisness. Fuck walmart
It's a sh !t, mindless job that people would prefer someone else do, so their own life is convenient and they have someone to talk to for a moment, like we're all living in small, quaint, American towns, in the 1950's.
As an employee, I prefer working the reguster over self-checkout. But if I am the only one working because walmart can't find people to apply, I'd much rather stand at self checkout where I can get 5 people out the door at the same time instead of having 5 people in one register line. It isn't that walmart is unwilling to hire people. It's that people are u willing to apply.

Not just retailers - worldwide, wage theft is the most common form of theft, and one of the most common crimes overall. Not paying overtime, paying less than minimum wage and generally cheating people of wages. We're told thieving will destroy the economy/businesses but most estimates say that corporations stealing wages is around 3 times the value stolen in burglaries and robberies. Billions every year
I know for a fact that Wal-Mart in their yearly budget actually accounts for shoplifting in it. They just know it's going to happen. This is a CEO being petty.
@@tannerfrancisco8759 buddy, theft will happen regardless, and walmart isn't justifying theft, they just know it will happen, so what are you trying to say
@@2b2c1d2 people do not have to steal. And it is disgusting that people steal and try to justify stealing as if it is alright to do. Walmart is not justifying stealing, the thieves are.
Haha. Seriously you think they were going to give it to you? They are willing to close all their stores, sure they were going to split it amongst employees. Target is down the street. See ya Walmart...
I guess 'walmart execs' are employees but when they say "divide amongst ourselves" they mean just that, themselves (like the 20 of them at the table during this pretend, but probably accurate, board meeting scenario) I got your back Reverend, lol
true story, I used to work for AT&T, at one point they where doing layoffs quarterly. Someone figured out that the bonus the CEO got for all of the layoffs could have paid the yearly salaries for the people they where laying off.
I don't know how they didn't realize that they would lose more money in theft than they would save in wages & benefits for reducing the number of cashiers.
The small outlets in the cities Walmart are closing have already closed not because of Walmart but because they get raided and looted too, in those fiery but peaceful cities....... Clowns everywhere

I went through a normal checkout and was heading out the door when the Anti-theft antenna went off, I stood there for a moment and an employee said "just go on".
employee ain't getting paid enough to deal with your shit. its probably nothing, and they have almost certainly faced the wrath of some sleep deprived probably drug addicted work aholic recently. Once you have faced that, you are not going to be taking risks for a bit. Not to say you are more of a risk than anyone else.
Most places are like that. It’s against policy for an employee to accuse you, stop you, chase you or do ANYTHING that would actually potentially be related to theft because then the employee could be at risk because what if you had a weapon and used it? Companies figure they would rather just have a good ILLUSION of security to reduce theft than any actual security
Wal-Mart is the pioneer of the "let 'em steal up to a felony then nab 'em" policy for shoplifting. What is supposed to happen when you set off the alarm at the door is a loss-prevention staffer in the camera room is supposed to roll back the footage and follow you through your visit to verify that you actually shoplifted, and if so to start a log on you in case you're habitual. Granted, that happens so rarely because of the sheer volume of customers and lack of LP staffing that 99% of people who do shoplift are never logged.
Exactly! They make billions in profits and still manage to cry. Not saying theft is good but it’s part of doing business and they can keep the empty threats. If they shut down people will just spend their money elsewhere.
Undoubtedly true. The more regular person who might have a kleptomanic urge now and then might try to slide something past checkout, the career criminals running organized fencing ops will just walk tf out
Or underpaying employees which is what they do ALL of the time. And when you complain to hr with proof, your hours get cut till you are either forced to leave because the pay is obviously not worth it or they force you out over bs.
That’s also retail theft. If you walk into a store and it’s advertised 9.99 and they charge you anything different, it’s against the law. Each state in the USA has laws against that. They tell you they don’t have control, you tell them it’s the law and have it ready.
What does a cashier cost nowadays? (Total, all costs, insurance, taxes etc) maybe 40k? Maybe 30 extra cashiers per store since its multiple shifts? Thats 7500 stores for 3 billion. Walmart has well over 10k stores. If they can solve or reduce the theft issue we will get lower prices and not only faster lines.
Bro what are you talking about? Employees still check you out. Literally the whole point is to ensure that the small items are checked out faster, since do you really want to stand in line behind someone with 80 items when you have 3? So rather than have 5 people checking everyone out, you have 4 and then you have one keeping track of the self checkout to ensure that if anyone is getting +18 or +21 items they can assist them or if they need other types of help they can.
small local stores can close down more easily. The things that people may resort to when there's not enough mass produced food products and prices keep going up is a nightmare fuel that I think none of us want to live through.
@Sav Skully 🤔 ❓️ how when an entire town relies on that shop that buys mass products to resell anyway? I doubt any mom and pop would sit there and make everyone's tooth paste.

They won’t shut them down. They just won’t allow public shopping. It will only be their employees shopping for your online orders for delivery or drive up. They have been moving toward this for years I saw it coming before Covid
Walmart tried firing my grandmother after 40+ years to keep her from retiree benefits😂😂😂 I don’t condone stealing but I do believe in a type of karmatic balance
Not forgetting the life insurance policy they take out on employees, not for the employees, but for them, which literally makes every employee worth more when in the ground, than working and breathing.
So true! I have Walmart plus app so I ordered iPods and tv for Black Friday. There was so much hanky lanky going on with those two items they had my tv then they didn’t have it then iPods got delivered 3 times I got money back for the tv then they called me to come pick up the tv it was crazy. I still think I got the tv for free by the end of it all I’m so confused. I went to the store twice to give back the iPods but only cause my daughter works there and it was her Walmart plus app. I still think I came up not sure😂😂😂
I'm not surprised because the Walmart I go to, I've never seen so many consistently miserable faces than I do on the faces of the employees working at this Walmart. It's not even in a bad local. If they don't give a f*** what you do as a customer, then they sure aren't going to fight for no Walmart.
By getting punched back you mean the rampant theft? Yeah, there's a saying - two wrongs don't make a right. F*ck Walmart but seriously do not pretend these people are noble or fighting some power. They're thieves who make the costs increase for everyone else.

24 hour Walmart got hit worse with shoplifting than self-checkout. And they are not paying those employees enough to chase a crackhead with a flatscreen down at 3:46 in the morning.
Walmart is one of the only places where i live that still have people that chase shoplifters. Plus the one in my town there's a 98%chance that right outside the doors there will be at least 2 cop cars.
When I worked in convenience store retail, loss prevention (asset protection for some chains) had statistics that the losses from shoplifters, chain-wide were around 20% of losses to employees. How? Employees not ringing up food and drinks they consumed, employees under-pricing or not ringing up things for their friends and family, employees stealing money straight out of the cash registers, employees stealing lottery scratch tickets... One store I worked at, the manager thought he was doing something great by selling a lot of diapers, formula and baby wipes all of a sudden. Nope, it was the overnight weekend person 'stocking up' for her upcoming child by helping her boyfriend load their Subaru to the roof with baby supplies.
Facts -- take the opportunity to prevent theft by hiring actual live staff and have employees who actually work and not always on break in the back rooms
Every Walmart in the world could shut down right now and my only reaction would be 4 months later when I notice that the Walmart changed into a Publix at some point
I don't know anything about Walmart, they aren't worldwide and judging by people's opinions on here then my country is damn lucky to have no Walmart and no Starbucks! What's so bad about Walmart? I feel like the world knows something that I'm not privvy to 😂😂 what's so terrible about it?
@@alcapone045 I have heard of them, I just live in a country that has its own identity and we don't need American stores in the southern hemisphere mate.

I used to work for Walmart. I can honestly say they aren't worried about theft. Between the fact that stolen items can be used as a tax writeoff and the fact only their Asset Protection people can stop a potential thief. Even management can't stop a potential thief. Door greeters are even told if a person doesn't want to show a receipt when asked to say 'Have A Nice Day' and see them on their way. Walmart doesn't care about theft.
Maybe we should do it more so they do shut down lol not the best way to go about it but atleast we would finally be getting something done for us and not just the companies
@@mech0p I had a long talk with one of the Door Greeters, they spend a lot of time and money looking at the customers but little to none at the employees. One great scam I have heard about involved a GF buying a TV, taking the receipt to her BF who had the day off, sitting in his car, and with a laptop, he duplicated the receipt several times, sent her into the store with several fake receipts, and they walked off with a cart full of TVs. Since the receipts had the proper coding for the day, as far as the Door Greeter was concerned, everything was on the up and up.
Our back doors are locked and/or alarmed… But I have seen several, and I mean SEVERAL high-ticket items like electronics and whatnot, cut out of the anti-theft packaging and then said packaging stowed where the customer knows we don’t have cameras… Found an empty cut up tablet box over in the garden center the other day… And I mean, it’s Walmart. I don’t really give a shit. But then it is more work for me depending on what was stolen, because my manager will make us do the claims reports…
@@thomasboese3793 That is a common scam around the world. Copying receipts. I dont know how she managed to go in and out with so many TVs though. Nobody caught on? For every scammer caught others make it through.
It the pickup center, I watched a woman who could barely afford the holy clothes she was wearing and a relative they were hugging etc. Before she loaded her car, who worked there bringing out 2 baskets of stuff, things that make ya go hmmm
PREACH IT! Having actual cashiers reduces thefts, creates jobs, but unfortunately, it also COSTS these corporations $ to pay these employees…which they just can’t seem to do anymore, it’s disgusting!
They weren't paying cashiers in the first place. Self check out isn't stealing jobs that weren't there. When I worked at Walmart, they were constantly on a firing freeze. When they would get rid of someone, that person wasn't replaced.
Most people get this wrong. The majority of self checkout machines are rentals, and the rental fees are significantly more expensive than payroll. Companies are using self checkouts because cashiers in certain areas are stealing money, can't count money, and do not show up for shifts. Self checkouts are simply more reliable than today's cashiers, in many cases, not all.
At my Walmart, they have 6 self checkouts and nine times out of ten there is 4 people watching them, damn near every single one, might as well have them work a lane bro like tf 🤣🤣
Nice analogy, but sadly this video is factually inaccurate. Revenue is NOT profit. Revenue refers to the amount of money you earn, but that's before any expenses. Walmart made a NEGATIVE profit of -1.8 bil as of Oct 2022. 152bil is from REVENUE. If a business runs a LOSS for too long, they'll shut down. Social responsibility should be a priority, to ensure that everyones have cheap groceries. Stealing only offloads the costs to others, making more poor people. Social responsibility should be upheld by everyone, including Walmart.
No, the theft applies to every store in a high crime neighborhood. They all get robbed Then they start closing and moving out, and you have to travel greater distances to shop and pay higher prices. It's not a charity. Then, the residents complain about "food deserts", watchful owners, high police presence, and lack of jobs. Crime causes poverty. Chase the businesses out of your area, then complain. Wow
Some ppl have clearly never been so desperate to feed their families that they resort to stealing. Theft is a byproduct of the system. When corporate greed squeezes the life out of all of us, I don't put it above any of us to be violent or to commit thievery. In Venezuela when the system collapsed, there were Doctors, business people and professors acting just like common gang members. My point is, they raise prices, don't pay people, all in the name of profit and this is what we get. Most people want to pay for things and not risk going to jail for petty theft...but when their kids are crying cause their belly hurts from hunger...they take the chance...and if they steal tvs and such, they just sell them to make money to pay rent or basic necessities. I'm not saying all theft is motivated by this, there are malicious ppl in the world, but for the most part, we are all just trying to survive. Defending corporate greed benefits no one but the 20 billionaires that run the world that will never let us peons join their ranks. I work hard and pay for my goods but I have enough empathy to know that I am lucky and blessed. If life had gone a different way, I'd be in someone else's shoes.

You can say no to them checking receipts. It’s technically your property. They can make you choose to be searched or leave, but without probable cause they have to let you go “unmolested”.
Those 25 don't have register numbers. They aren't trained in it. And then "standing" is actually them working.

Not so simple. Yes, businesses can potentially claim a tax deduction for stolen goods as a casualty loss on their tax returns. However, there are limitations to this deduction. The stolen property must have been used for business purposes, and the loss must not be covered by insurance. Additionally, businesses can only deduct the portion of the loss that exceeds any potential reimbursement received, such as through insurance claims. Furthermore, documentation and proof of the theft are required to support the deduction, including filing a police report and demonstrating that reasonable efforts were made to recover the stolen property.

@Some Random Cook Hell yes they can. Walmart abandoned the NE side of Oklahoma City because the hoodrats robbed them blind. Now it’s called a “food desert” which the state had to issue a tax subsidy just to bring ANY retailer to the area. It was like this for 15 years my dude.

My friend used to work security in a Walmart, his supervisor told him to follow teenagers as the supervisor thought they were the main culprits.

I was 16 or so and walking through a computer store away from my parents. It was winter and I had hat and gloves and such in my coat pockets plus probably a hoodie on. A neighboring store had been stolen from so a security guard just walked up to me and asked me to turn out my pockets. I responded pretty loudly that he wouldn’t be doing this to an old person. I hoped that my parents would hear me and come over. No such luck. But a crowd did gather as I stood there asking “here’s my hat. Do you sell these? How about this scarf? Did I steal this scarf?”

“If people keep stealing it going to shut down Walmarts across the world” dude just gave me some motivation to go steal. The ceo must be a moron if he thought that would deter people.
If you take someone's property, including a business' or corporation's, I bloody well hope you get caught and arrested then have the book thrown at you. Thieves need harsher sentences, 100%, and 'no' saying it's 'wealth redistribution' or 'socialism' or 'reparations' is no excuse whatsoever. I hope in response to left-wing politicians being light on crime, once conservatives and right-wingers come to power there'll be an opposite effect in which crimes are punished more severely than they'd been prior to the changes. Build more damn jails and prisons if need be. Separate the unworthy from those who are civilized. The Overton Window is beginning to sway in the other direction, and it's about damn time. Feels like a lot of change is coming in the next few years... and it would be very good for North America if Republicans held power in America and the Conservative Party held power in Canada ideally with a majority government. Then, we can begin healing the horrific damage done by Biden and Trudeau. The economy will boom again, America will be energy-independent and a net-exporter, Canada likely will quickly become likewise, and the West can be strengthened again instead of weakened by weak people with weak socialist anti-West ideas and no moral compass whatsoever.
Good to know people are as sleazy as I think they are. Willingness to steal, is wrong. Willingness to steal out of some petty hatred for Walmart, is just sleazy. It says more about you as a person, than it does about whatever sins Walmart has committed.

One time in college I was driving with my girlfriend up to the mountains to go skiing, and she was just being a b!+¢h, going on and on. I finally got off the freeway, and turned around and headed for home. She asked what I was doing, and I just said, “I’m not going to spend all day with you if this is the kind of space you’re in.” She immediately changed her tune and apologized, promising to be different. She was her normal fun self for the rest of the day.
So here’s the thing in most states you can’t be charged for stealing for a “miss scan”. So if the store sees that your “miss scanning” often an employee will ask you if you need help scanning your item and if you say no you are saying that you know how to use the machine and that you miss scanned on purpose. If an employee asks you if you need help scanning always say yes
They will close non projective stores. When a store stops producing enough money to make it worth it, it’s the only options. Many retailers are already doing it in places like California where there is no accountability for crime.
You can’t have expected anything different, automation is becoming more and more of a big deal. The first jobs to go are the tedious ones nobody enjoys doing like cashiering, there are still jobs just less cashier jobs. Nobody likes to do that anyway. But it’s not going to be the last. Over the next 20 years, there are going to be a tremendous amount of jobs eliminated because automation is going to take over. We’re even getting to a point where we’re automating the automation. Software engineering is at risk of being eliminated in the next few decades because there are programs that write and optimize code better then software engineers do. It’s not a bad thing either. It means within a century or two, we may get to a point where working isn’t necessary and would be optional because everything can run itself without the need for us to spend our lives working, and can instead spend them working on our passions. Everyone can live as if they were rich. That reality is coming. It is going to mean the world is going to change a lot and it means a lot of jobs need to be eliminated so we can automate them. Even ones that are considered good, but at some point within our children’s lifetimes that is going to be the reality. We are just in the transition years.

@@Garrus86 - Have you noticed that toothpicks cost about $4? There used to be a rule that most companies followed - charge 5 X what it cost you to make it or buy it wholesale. But every corporation, especially Walmart, has a Harvard MBA on every single product, including toothpicks, and they gouge for them. They aren't just making a healthy profit on toothpicks, they are charging as much as they possibly can get away with and making ridiculous profits on every single solitary item in the store.
You should be able to buy the damned things for 30 cents and they'd still make a lot of money on them across their stores.
Maybe if they tried being decent human beings while running that company people wouldn't want to steal and even worse all around, people wouldn't need to steal. I'm sure there are plenty of people stealing who need to steal to keep their heads above water.

Except, cashiers aren't security guards, and they are explicitly told not to confront people they believe to be committing theft. The procedure is to report the event to management after it's already happened because you don't want to start an altercation that could be potentially dangerous.

Former Dollar Tree employee. The only time we saw our district manager was his once-a-month manager meetings where he would go over camera footage of our cashiers and have our manager tell him they weren't stealing. We had numerous break ins and people shtting in the back of the store, so we asked for extra cameras for our own safety. Our DM had another camera installed over the cash registers (we already had two). Yeah, he got no loyalty and 14 of us store managers and assistant managers quit out of that one location in the 9 months I worked there.

At the end of the day whatever chickens we didn’t sell got thrown straight in the trash. Legit made me sick to my stomach to see good food getting thrown out like that. Did the same thing for whole pizzas, etc.

Food waste is probably the worst in this country, I swear. We talk about industry a lot and it’s a huge fail. basically means we’re overproducing product and putting farmers through shit or killing tons of animals that end up packaged in dumpsters every month.
Especially because this food could go to help feeding the homeless at shelters and stuff like that. Instead Walmart refuses to help the people when they could.
The government is literally trying to cause a food shortage
Not to mention they have you damage the packaging/try and destroy the food before throwing it out if it's dry goods so that people can't just dumpster dive for it. Which, they do anyway.

I went through a normal checkout and was heading out the door when the Anti-theft antenna went off, I stood there for a moment and an employee said "just go on".
It's as it should be 😊
employee ain't getting paid enough to deal with your shit. its probably nothing, and they have almost certainly faced the wrath of some sleep deprived probably drug addicted work aholic recently. Once you have faced that, you are not going to be taking risks for a bit. Not to say you are more of a risk than anyone else.
Most places are like that. It’s against policy for an employee to accuse you, stop you, chase you or do ANYTHING that would actually potentially be related to theft because then the employee could be at risk because what if you had a weapon and used it? Companies figure they would rather just have a good ILLUSION of security to reduce theft than any actual security
@@RhyperiorRanger also lawsuits can't forget that.
Wal-Mart is the pioneer of the "let 'em steal up to a felony then nab 'em" policy for shoplifting. What is supposed to happen when you set off the alarm at the door is a loss-prevention staffer in the camera room is supposed to roll back the footage and follow you through your visit to verify that you actually shoplifted, and if so to start a log on you in case you're habitual.
Granted, that happens so rarely because of the sheer volume of customers and lack of LP staffing that 99% of people who do shoplift are never logged.
Exactly! They make billions in profits and still manage to cry. Not saying theft is good but it’s part of doing business and they can keep the empty threats. If they shut down people will just spend their money elsewhere.

Or underpaying employees which is what they do ALL of the time. And when you complain to hr with proof, your hours get cut till you are either forced to leave because the pay is obviously not worth it or they force you out over bs.
That’s also retail theft. If you walk into a store and it’s advertised 9.99 and they charge you anything different, it’s against the law. Each state in the USA has laws against that. They tell you they don’t have control, you tell them it’s the law and have it ready.
What about Wal-Marts theft of tax payer dollars!!!! Us having to subsidize their workforce with food stamps because they don't pay them.
The CeO prefers to lose 3billions than to actually pay employees to do the scanning. Smart move. STUNKSS
What does a cashier cost nowadays? (Total, all costs, insurance, taxes etc) maybe 40k? Maybe 30 extra cashiers per store since its multiple shifts? Thats 7500 stores for 3 billion. Walmart has well over 10k stores. If they can solve or reduce the theft issue we will get lower prices and not only faster lines.
Exactly
Bro what are you talking about? Employees still check you out. Literally the whole point is to ensure that the small items are checked out faster, since do you really want to stand in line behind someone with 80 items when you have 3? So rather than have 5 people checking everyone out, you have 4 and then you have one keeping track of the self checkout to ensure that if anyone is getting +18 or +21 items they can assist them or if they need other types of help they can.

Walmart is one of the only places where i live that still have people that chase shoplifters. Plus the one in my town there's a 98%chance that right outside the doors there will be at least 2 cop cars.
When I worked in convenience store retail, loss prevention (asset protection for some chains) had statistics that the losses from shoplifters, chain-wide were around 20% of losses to employees.
How? Employees not ringing up food and drinks they consumed, employees under-pricing or not ringing up things for their friends and family, employees stealing money straight out of the cash registers, employees stealing lottery scratch tickets...
One store I worked at, the manager thought he was doing something great by selling a lot of diapers, formula and baby wipes all of a sudden. Nope, it was the overnight weekend person 'stocking up' for her upcoming child by helping her boyfriend load their Subaru to the roof with baby supplies.
Were not allowed to chase. We get fired if we do.

@@mech0p I had a long talk with one of the Door Greeters, they spend a lot of time and money looking at the customers but little to none at the employees.

Since the receipts had the proper coding for the day, as far as the Door Greeter was concerned, everything was on the up and up.
Our back doors are locked and/or alarmed… But I have seen several, and I mean SEVERAL high-ticket items like electronics and whatnot, cut out of the anti-theft packaging and then said packaging stowed where the customer knows we don’t have cameras… Found an empty cut up tablet box over in the garden center the other day…

3 billion in losses but won’t pay for private security or cashiers
They weren't paying cashiers in the first place. Self check out isn't stealing jobs that weren't there. When I worked at Walmart, they were constantly on a firing freeze. When they would get rid of someone, that person wasn't replaced.
"Can't seem" should be re-worded to "Refusing to".
Failure to do something which you are capable of doing means you refuse to do it.
Most people get this wrong. The majority of self checkout machines are rentals, and the rental fees are significantly more expensive than payroll. Companies are using self checkouts because cashiers in certain areas are stealing money, can't count money, and do not show up for shifts. Self checkouts are simply more reliable than today's cashiers, in many cases, not all.
@@sallyfield2895 Not replacing cashiers is different from "not paying" them.

Nice analogy, but sadly this video is factually inaccurate. Revenue is NOT profit. Revenue refers to the amount of money you earn, but that's before any expenses. Walmart made a NEGATIVE profit of -1.8 bil as of Oct 2022. 152bil is from REVENUE.
If a business runs a LOSS for too long, they'll shut down. Social responsibility should be a priority, to ensure that everyones have cheap groceries. Stealing only offloads the costs to others, making more poor people.
Social responsibility should be upheld by everyone, including Walmart.
Lmfaooooo imagine one ceo is like “I’ll scare em” boi if all the Walmarts closed we would have a giant monopoly lifted from us.
It's just another way to blame the little pawns...they would not be closing stores if they were truly profitable...so toxic...see what you made us do?
No, the theft applies to every store in a high crime neighborhood. They all get robbed
Then they start closing and moving out, and you have to travel greater distances to shop and pay higher prices. It's not a charity.
Then, the residents complain about "food deserts", watchful owners, high police presence, and lack of jobs.
Crime causes poverty. Chase the businesses out of your area, then complain. Wow
Some ppl have clearly never been so desperate to feed their families that they resort to stealing. Theft is a byproduct of the system. When corporate greed squeezes the life out of all of us, I don't put it above any of us to be violent or to commit thievery. In Venezuela when the system collapsed, there were Doctors, business people and professors acting just like common gang members. My point is, they raise prices, don't pay people, all in the name of profit and this is what we get. Most people want to pay for things and not risk going to jail for petty theft...but when their kids are crying cause their belly hurts from hunger...they take the chance...and if they steal tvs and such, they just sell them to make money to pay rent or basic necessities. I'm not saying all theft is motivated by this, there are malicious ppl in the world, but for the most part, we are all just trying to survive. Defending corporate greed benefits no one but the 20 billionaires that run the world that will never let us peons join their ranks. I work hard and pay for my goods but I have enough empathy to know that I am lucky and blessed. If life had gone a different way, I'd be in someone else's shoes.

I remember the tax subsidies when people found out how much it pissed people off and now I could care less if they close down they don’t hire people
Also remember that losses from
theft is a tax write-off.
Not so simple. Yes, businesses can potentially claim a tax deduction for stolen goods as a casualty loss on their tax returns. However, there are limitations to this deduction. The stolen property must have been used for business purposes, and the loss must not be covered by insurance. Additionally, businesses can only deduct the portion of the loss that exceeds any potential reimbursement received, such as through insurance claims. Furthermore, documentation and proof of the theft are required to support the deduction, including filing a police report and demonstrating that reasonable efforts were made to recover the stolen property.
Otherwise every failing business could scam and recoup costs.
I love how they threaten to shut down while everyone knows they physically can't

If you take someone's property, including a business' or corporation's, I bloody well hope you get caught and arrested then have the book thrown at you. Thieves need harsher sentences, 100%, and 'no' saying it's 'wealth redistribution' or 'socialism' or 'reparations' is no excuse whatsoever. I hope in response to left-wing politicians being light on crime, once conservatives and right-wingers come to power there'll be an opposite effect in which crimes are punished more severely than they'd been prior to the changes.
Build more damn jails and prisons if need be. Separate the unworthy from those who are civilized. The Overton Window is beginning to sway in the other direction, and it's about damn time. Feels like a lot of change is coming in the next few years... and it would be very good for North America if Republicans held power in America and the Conservative Party held power in Canada ideally with a majority government.
Then, we can begin healing the horrific damage done by Biden and Trudeau. The economy will boom again, America will be energy-independent and a net-exporter, Canada likely will quickly become likewise, and the West can be strengthened again instead of weakened by weak people with weak socialist anti-West ideas and no moral compass whatsoever.
I will go with ya 🤣 😂
I'd start stealing just to get rid of them.
Good to know people are as sleazy as I think they are. Willingness to steal, is wrong. Willingness to steal out of some petty hatred for Walmart, is just sleazy. It says more about you as a person, than it does about whatever sins Walmart has committed.

Walmart steals people's lives and underpays people
24 hour Walmart with the real cashiers was a gift from god...Wally World ain't what it used to be 😢
There are still regular cashiers it’s not our fault you chose not to go to them? Tf
@@Kitkat_bar Not at the Walmarts around me. You have to beg a manager for one, and even then you only got a tiny fifty percent chance they're willing to.
@@Kitkat_bar not at ours I think there’s like 2 registers open if any
Thank your local communist BLM chapter!
@@carrtoon916 uh 24 hour Walmarts closed cause of covid dude
3 billion is the equivalent of about 1500/year raise for every one of the 2.1 million employees
That CEO wants his customers to be a lot more honest than he ever is.
Heeeeee heehee heehee..yeah..rigjt !

Walmart CEO is like "I swear I'm gonna turn this car around if you don't stop!"
They are and will shut it down. 3 Billion into their 14 BILLION profits is a lot and Walmart can't sustain those losses and will stop to exist if they can't make their investors happy.

It’s the wage theft of their employees they should be worried about. Pay those people a living wage!
The CEO of Walmart is out of touch with the world. He doesn't want to pay employees. So, you open self-checkout, so you have less employees and then complain you're getting ripped off. What an evil corporation
Plus they ban kids based on zero evidence 🙄 of theft while their parent is just outside, tag teaming the kid with the popo who think it's cool not to ask them if they have a guardian before serving them this ridiculous one month ban based on an overweight psycho who came outside babbling about "this child had an accomplice in an SUV" STF up you absolute NUTCASE, you already made a fool of yourself then shook hands with the rent a cop so bye bye your work here is done losing Walmart customers thanks manager Dan I D I O T
Evil isn't the word, it's lunacy and they can keep their sad wannabe snitches too , we called corporate but guess what ? Zero f**** given , both sides ditto man
If they only knew their employees nepotism hired kids are giving away free kitchen appliances
LOL FTW thankyou Debbie Stewart you're the smartest person on planet earth 🤐🥸👍👍

One time in college I was driving with my girlfriend up to the mountains to go skiing, and she was just being a b!+¢h, going on and on. I finally got off the freeway, and turned around and headed for home. She asked what I was doing, and I just said, “I’m not going to spend all day with you if this is the kind of space you’re in.” She immediately changed her tune and apologized, promising to be different. She was her normal fun self for the rest of the day.
I was never "trained" as a cashier, so if I make "mistakes" when I cash out blame my supervisor...😂😂😂
I was a manager for 2 yrs at a store...never learned the register either🤣😅🤣😂 could swap drawers that was it😁
You can't do anything other than stall them. They are the ones shooting themselves in the foot.
@@kanrachi6630 how is it there job if you choose to use the self checkout
So here’s the thing in most states you can’t be charged for stealing for a “miss scan”. So if the store sees that your “miss scanning” often an employee will ask you if you need help scanning your item and if you say no you are saying that you know how to use the machine and that you miss scanned on purpose. If an employee asks you if you need help scanning always say yes
Right on no training blame our supervisors
They will close non projective stores. When a store stops producing enough money to make it worth it, it’s the only options. Many retailers are already doing it in places like California where there is no accountability for crime.
The Walmart CEO should pay me for doing the job of all the people that he fired.
You can’t have expected anything different, automation is becoming more and more of a big deal. The first jobs to go are the tedious ones nobody enjoys doing like cashiering, there are still jobs just less cashier jobs. Nobody likes to do that anyway. But it’s not going to be the last. Over the next 20 years, there are going to be a tremendous amount of jobs eliminated because automation is going to take over. We’re even getting to a point where we’re automating the automation. Software engineering is at risk of being eliminated in the next few decades because there are programs that write and optimize code better then software engineers do. It’s not a bad thing either. It means within a century or two, we may get to a point where working isn’t necessary and would be optional because everything can run itself without the need for us to spend our lives working, and can instead spend them working on our passions. Everyone can live as if they were rich. That reality is coming. It is going to mean the world is going to change a lot and it means a lot of jobs need to be eliminated so we can automate them. Even ones that are considered good, but at some point within our children’s lifetimes that is going to be the reality. We are just in the transition years.
should target, meijer and all of the other big box stores do the same?
I work at Walmart… no body got fired, the cashiers ended up moving departments to higher paying positions or remained overseeing the self check out.
@@lucidvisionary9429 a position still was closed, they destroyed a job.
@@davideckard5827 “remained overseeing the self checkout” position wasn’t really removed… instead of standing at one register, the associate stands overseeing 4 self checkouts not having to do much but remove items a customer doesn’t want. A lot of the cashiers moved to OPD making 4 dollars more. The only people complaining are old people and those too lazy to move an item past the scanner. I personally always look for self checkouts, when shopping. It’s not that difficult
