Walk into a wal-mart you've never been in and just observe

[egokiller]

For a brief time if I was in a city I'd never been in (my work takes me to many places) and I spotted a wal-mart, I went right into that fvcker and observed just out of pure curiosity. How are parents handling their kids? How are people speaking to employees? How are consumers treating each other? How are people in general acting. Take a half hour, and just observe.

Some wal-marts I walk in, there's nothing out of the ordinary and I notice that everyone is acting and functioning accordingly like normal contributing members of society. Polite individuals that just want to get their items and get on with life.

Other wal-marts I walk in, and people are acting like they have no education. Like it's their first time interacting with another human. Rude conversations, fighting over items, arguing over price.....you name it. All people of all races all acting the same shitty way.

So without knowing anything about a city such as it's crime rate, income level, quality of living, demographic etc, you can walk into a wal-mart and after just 30 minutes know what kind of a city you are in. Sure enough, you look up the city statistics, quality of schools, crime rate, etc and the results match perfectly with what you just witnessed at that wal-mart.

Why is this?

The answer is simple. You are going into the bottom of the barrel. The place where even the lowest of the low in a given area have to go to shop for cheap. If you find that in a wal-mart of all places that people are acting pleasant and accordingly (upbeat in general), you know you are in a good city. That is one place where you would expect the worst of the worst to shop. I call it passing the wal-mart test.

Maybe one day I'll walk into a wal-mart and there won't be such a distinct correlation.

Meh.....who am I kidding, I've seen enough. :roll:

Yeah. I suppose it's all relative. I've been in Walmarts even in pretty decent areas where I've been mortified by the humanity I witnessed. But I guess compared to some of the Walmart's you'd see in much worse areas, it was probably nothing.

But in general, you're right. You can kinda compare areas by the lowest common denominator, and you definitely find that at Walmart. Not that a sophisticated lad such as myself with a debonair savoir-faire and a certain... je ne c'est quoi is above going into Walmart from time to time. But I try to get in and out as fast I can. And while holding my breath if possible.

I despise Wal-Marts.

I will go in them only if it's super early in the morning or really late at night when nobody is there.

It's a shit experience anyway you slice it but at least if it's in a wal-mart in a good city, the experience won't be quite as shitty. I tried that late night thing once in a city I was staying in one night. Pallets everywhere and workers in your way restocking the shelves. 1 checkout line :oldlol:

Well, to be fair... some Wal-Marts are really expanding with the self checkout. Some of their locations might just offer the fastest current retail checkout experience because...

I went into one I hadn't been in for a couple of years a few weeks ago... I shit you not they had about 30-35 self checkouts in the store. I couldn't believe it.

But yes, you're right about the pallets and employees stocking late at night. It sucks but I'll take it over tripping over customers.

I believe it. The one I was in they closed the self checkout at a certain time because no one was there to monitor them. They typically have one person that has to check ID's for things like cough syrup and the like. This one apparently couldn't find enough cashiers to hire on that shift.

Sadly you aren't lying about the risk of tripping over people. I've seen kids literally rolling on the ground knocking into shit.

In 2010 alone I probably stole over 5k worth of shit from Wal Mart. I used to do it just for fun and then give all the food and clothes to some of my more broke friends. I called it operation Robin Hood. For a little while my right-hand dude and I were literally walking out with entire shopping carts worth of food and then bringing it all to wherever the party was that night. That was a fun year.

If you can get away with stealing from those assholes and it's going to a good cause by all means keep at it. As long as they don't raise prices due to increasing theft, no consumer is going to give a shit that wal-mart is being stolen from.

[Prometheus]

I hear you but nah I put that behavior behind me. I'm generally a cautious person - once Jupiter phased out of alignment with Uranus I suddenly stopped doing it. Haven't shoplifted since.

[Draz]

Every single staff member in there hide on their phones in corners of the isles texting or are actually talking on the phone. I'm surprised their shelves are actually stocked, must take like 4 on shift employees to pack a shelf of candles.

How did you do this?

BTW, if you do self check out, it's possible to get away with it. Just have multiple items and don't scan/pretend to scan the item multiple times.

Keep a bunch of their plastic bags. Find what you want, act natural and just place it in the bag. Walk out.

It took two of us to do a shopping cart. That was not as easy. Most stores have camera blind spots, and we would have to first bring the cart to such a spot before bagging everything quickly. One person bags, the other keeps lookout. Once everything is bagged up, you're good. As long as you act natural, anyone who sees you will just assume you bought shit then had to go back because you forgot something or other. And once you have the cart at the exit, you are at an advantage because the security guy is less likely to ask you for a receipt, since it's plausible that you're not sure which of the 20 bags it's in. And if it's busy, forget about it. You're good.

Or if you need new shoes, just put your old ones in the box and walk out with your new pair.

Or if you want a few shirts, just hit the fitting room with like 15 more than you actually want, throw on the ones you do, then pull your hoodie back overtop of everything and come back out. Unless the 39yo methodone-washed ex-hooker working that station feels like counting all that bullshit :oldlol:

To be honest, bookstores are actually even easier than Wal Mart. If someone told me I had to successfully shoplift one item, and I'll die if I get caught, I would pick a Barnes and Noble. Wawa is a close second (or any convenience store I suppose). But all you have to do is find the little magnetic sensor. They always just stick one on a random page. Remove the sensor, bring the book to a study spot, sit there with your other books (since everyone walks in that mf with a bookbag and their homework) for a bit if you wanna be extra careful... then once you stop being paranoid, just put it in your bookbag with the rest of your books. Walk out.

We only tried to do that one time back in the day at the market. Rolled out with a shopping cart full of shit and some guy was following asking for a receipt. I told my friend to just keep walking. When we got to his car he started to confront us more and I told him I’m not showing a ****ing receipt and to get the **** out of here. We loaded our shit and dipped out and had to pick up our other friend who was still inside down the corner. It was pretty funny.

Congrats on being a piece of shit. It definitely makes for good story telling, but I wouldn't recommend telling these stories in real life. Thieves are one of those groups of people that no matter if you only did it once (in your case, you're a habitual thief), you will forever carry a stigma that people wont forget.

Then again that may not bother you at all, your morals have to be pretty damn low to steal. Again though, in an anonymous setting it makes for a great story, definitely was interesting reading. But I despise yall.

I have never and would never steal from any individual person, or any small-to-medium-sized business. Only large corporations with big fat insurance policies so that no individual person was ever harmed by what I did. I have a major issue with anyone who steals from individuals - I won't take so much as a dollar that belongs to someone else, even if I hate them.

I am guessing you would also think I'm a piece of shit if I stole from BP or Exxon Mobil (no idea how I would pull that off, but this is a hypothetical).

If you think stealing from Wal Mart to give food and clothes to poor people is piece-of-shit behavior, then I say you're a moron.

eh... stealing 5k worth of shit is pretty scummy behavior no matter how you rationalize it. not worth it either for such small stuff to stain your record if caught.

I strongly disagree with you. We used to steal clothes and dump them in donation bins. If I could go back in time I would have stolen even more.

[JohnnySic]

Walmart is great, same stuff as any other supermarket at 1/3 less $. Just go at 6 am or whenever they open to avoid the Walmart People.

[dude77]

yeah early morning walmart is best .. and if you can, order it online and pick it up .. you sign in on your phone to let them know you're coming and they're waiting for you with your stuff when you get there

The rest of us dumbasses are dealing with nonsense in wal-mart while you are picking the shit up without the hassle. This is hands down the way to do it.

i went to a walmart somewhere on the way to joshua tree the other month and it had a Rally's in it. first time ever seeing anything other than a mcdonalds in one.

Any other different fast food places youve guys seen in a walmart?

haha Rallys is a fast food burger place that seems to be dying out. joshua tree is a state park in california. and subway in walmart? i couldnt ever imagine :lol

The 24 hour Walmart in Manteca California was legendary in the early two thousands.

The irony of this coming from a loser who spends his time on multiple alts trolling a shitty message board. :oldlol:

[egokiller]

The real irony of this is that the poster above can't even handle posting on this message board without giving off the vibe that he's mad at the world. Now imagine him actually trying to shop at his local wal-mart of all places. You know he wouldn't last 5 minutes without having an epic meltdown. :oldlol:

[red1]

prometheus you're right. stealing from a faceless corporation is not the same thing as stealing from a family business or a person.

my boy used to jook electronics from sears years ago when that was still a thing - I'm talking stealing laptops and items valued over $1k and they lost track of these items didn't know where they went it was like they never existed in the first place.

he was an employee there and there was literally zero blowback meaning zero culpability or accountability no one lost their job no one got fired etc etc. completely different from stealing from a small family business where they're trying to grind out a profit.




on topic walmart is useful as ****. they stock items that you won't find unless you order online and sometimes you might want it that day can't wait for amazon two day shipping.

a good example is a product called no-salt - a potassium based salt substitute that's useful for keto. walmart was the only place that had out of 5 places that I checked. was clutch as ****.

Thank you, red1. It's refreshing to see that you have enough personal autonomy to orient your own moral compass. I grow weary reading the words of these gerbils who surrender their own code to that of some external doctrine.

The other day when i was there to pick up some groceries they had someone stand by the entrance to look at receipts like at Costco, I think they're finally getting wise to it.

They have had that as long as I can remember. That's why you go when it's too busy for them to check everything.

A great tool for dealing with that is also to pretend to be in a really heated conversation on your phone. How motivated would you be to ask a guy for his receipt as he walks out if he's yelling into his phone "Yeah but when you decided to give up the baby, you lost that f*cking right, so stop talking about lawyers, get back on your f*cking medication and leave me the **** ALONE"... because I wouldn't bother that guy. He seems like he's having a rough day :lol

The greatest shit show to ever happen at a southern wal-mart was some incident where in Louisiana, EBT's cards were allowing customers to buy more than they typical could because the spending limit was removed. When the glitch was fixed and these assholes with full carts realized it, they simply left the store with carts filled with shit. Hundreds of them.

1. They were worthless pieces of shit for capitalizing on the glitch in the first place instead of being honest and respectable citizens.

2. The fact they left the carts filled with items and just left the store so that those who are actually trying to work in life have to put the shit away further proves what worthless pieces of shit they are.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ebt-benefit-card-glitch-sparks-walmart-shopping-sprees-in-louisiana/

They should have recorded the ridiculous conversations of these bottom feeders calling their friends up telling them "come down to da wal-mart yo, they given shit away for free!" :roll:

Only one man had integrity and class out of the lot. Shopper Stan Garcia said that taking advantage of the brief glitch in the benefits system amounted to plain theft. "That's stealing, that's all I got to say about it."

Even though it was only one person that had their head on their shoulders during the whole ordeal, that's all you need to restore your faith in humanity.
