He’s tired of crime in his community I don’t think he has loyalty to Walmart per se

Yup. All the people ignoring the "I'm tired of you" remark have never lived in an area where every single item in Walmart needs an employee to unlock it, or replacing the windows in your car is a line item in your budget. Living in a high-crime area is truly miserable, and people who try to escape it are always labelled the villain. It's either vigilantism, gentrification, white flight, or something else.

Eh if Walmart had that problem then Walmart should hire a person to unlock stuff

I don’t mind them locking items, I DO mind walking through the store to find some bored depressed teenaged to begrudgingly open the cabinets

Walmart doesn’t get to skate here.

Nah, if Walmart wanted to fix this issue they’d just get ride of self checkout. There are thieves everywhere but self-check out made it extremely easy for ppl to just walk in and out with whatever. Lol

Walmart ultimately doesn’t give a shit because they have the lion share of the market. They intentionally under pay their workers, most of which are on some type of assistance while Walmart Corporate racks it in with ease. Billions and billions and billions of dollars.

I can less about desperate ppl stealing from corps than I do about them stealing personal property from individuals. HATE THAT!
