U.S. News - Suspected shoplifter dies after being detained at California Walmart "Police told the AP the man was accused of stealing clothing and body wash." I can't help but wonder, maybe this was because he had been unemployed in the shitty economy, and had an upcoming interview that he wanted to get cleaned up for. Yes, theft is wrong, but killing the guy for it? At least the security guards have been suspended.

Used to work there, unfortunately. They cant touch you with merchandise on you during theft, as touching you in cali is means for an assault charge. Watched a friend get fired for putting his hands on a suspect, even though he was security. Apparently people have sued the store for assault so theyll follow you to your car and call the cops now. Anyone who's ever worked at walmart knows theres a blind spot for the cameras in the pet dept by dog food, which is where the successful shoplifters do their thing.
I used to work security at Walmart. I though it would be fun at the time but I ended up hating it. I quit because they wanted me to bust young kids stealing dollar bracelets and cheap jewelry trinkets but then refused to prosecute hardened criminals stealing computers and alcohol.
When I worked at Albertsons, they tried to make me an unofficial security guard because I am pretty big guy and they didn't have any dedicated security. But I always told my manager straight up, I will never fight someone for this company or put myself in danger for $8 an hour.
Lol; yeah well I was trained by a guy who got thrown through a window and stabbed in the leg for about the same dough.
Yep, ever notice how all walmarts are designed systematically the same. I mean identical in layout? That's on purpose. Superwalmarts are the same as well. They do that so they can build them like track homes, and they have crews who work full time and who travel around the U.S.and abroad building these walmarts. My brother got a job doing this and offered me one as well but I declined. Still, I appreciate your sarcasm and ignorance. Made me chuckle. Edit: those security guards will lose their jobs and will be sued, as will walmart. Guaranteed. Watch. The blindspot is not intentional. Its just a well known " secret" among workers.
Wal mart is super hyper sensitive to law suits. Only problem is that it will cost the local low wage employees in the end and the international corp will never feel it.
