I don't understand the general attitude of people more than willing to rip off a company/corporation.
Why assume that they all deserve this ? Not everything is faceless and evil. -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |

QUOTE (Dr. Gonzo @ Dec 5 2006, 09:40 PM)  I have no problem ripping off a company (any company for that matter) as long as the employee does not suffer because of it. When items show up unaccounted for they write it down, when enough stuff goes missing you can be sure that employees face consequences for not watching for theft or not watching their own check outs |

If I ever hated a company enough to justify stealing from them, I simply wouldn't shop there in the first place. That having been said, Walmart is ridiculously close to having that dubious honor in my book...

i don't care if it's like the grocery store or something, but big electronic stores have much better security and a lot more to lose.

Friend of mine got canned from an electronic store, because he sold some computers and monitors with wrong prices and fake coupons.

Now that the thread's gone a while I'll mention what happened
 Was at Best Buy, grabbed two xbox 360 games, both $59.99, and a piece of candy on the way out, the guy waves me over, then proceeds to take like 5 mins to find a damn tool to open the plastic cases the games were in, then rings me up (I wasn't even really watching him). I see total of $68 and we both kinda looked at each other with a dumbfounded look for a sec, I swiped my shit and got outta there heheh. I didn't mind for a couple reasons: 1) The guy seemed to notice his mistake, but also didn't seem to care 2) I just spent $3,500 there yesterday 3) They jobbed everyone on the reward zone points by lowering it from $5 per $100 to $5 per $250 |

QUOTE (impala454 @ Dec 5 2006, 01:56 PM) I know most people would probably say they'd be the "good samaritan" and tell them ha! yeah right. most people wouldn't tell the guy, they'd get outta there. anyway, i'd get out and take my stuff. BUT it depends on if he scanned it or not. if he scanned and it didn't go through you're home free. but if he didnt scan it, the freakin alarms are gonna go off when you walk through the door and you're gonna look pretty bad, and end up having to pay for it.. --------------------  |

well him scanning it doesn't have anything to do with alarms. once the item sits on that demagnetizer pad it wont set off the alarm anymore.

Passing the hurt to the usually smaller companies that walmart bullies to sell them stuff BELOW their own cost sometimes. Not sure how that'd work on missing inventory but im sure walmart finds a way to screw someone else for it. |
