Many years ago they audited my local Walmart by sending in one of those companies that sees how much they can shoplift. Apparently this Walmart broke some kind of record in that the shoplifters stole things for two straight weeks without being caught. Associates actually assisted in loading stolen merchandise into vehicles in some cases. Needless to say there was quite a overhaul at that location.
We pay attention, we just cant to anything. Only a salaried manager or AP (accident protection) can legally stop you.
We grunts can get into serious legal troubles if we accuse a customer of stealing or try to stop them.
We cant even follow the thief. We can try to memorize their appearance the best we can and inform management or AP.
You can deadass shove something in your pocket right in front of a floor associate and say "I'm stealing this" and theres nothing they can do except report it.
