| Because if it's your first time, and you steal merchandise worth less than $25 and/or are younger than 18 or older than 65, you get off scot-free. Go here for the details.
All I know is that this cannot end well. Discuss. |

I love that site's banner.  |

| I woudln't steal from them, simply because I like to feel I'm above that. but... that's dumb. Now more peopel are going ot steal, simply because they can get away with it. | |||

| I don't think so. Wal-Mart wil probably keep on murdering the thieves.

| I'm guessing the "older than 65" thing is because someone might forget they took something. The "younger than 18" thing isn't thought out too well. (Maybe "younger than 10" or something) | |||

| Hmm....stealing, stealing, stealing well I've stolen many things from walmart like: a action replay for GBA, 3 memory cards(GC), 2 controllers, a gba(I know hard to believe), and more I forgot. I don't want to encourage stealing but, it's pretty easy. The only time I got caught was when my stupid little brother saw me getting a game and he screamed out "Ooh can I play it" I was 12 so I got off scot free! | |||

| it said wal-mart is going to be on part with other retailers...which means, if there are items at those stores you want that is less than $25, then you may get away scot free? | |||

| Great...I could gank a few rolls of a certain type of corded trim that is the one thing that I can only find at Wally World. JoAnn Fabrics used to sell it, but they don't seem to have it any more, and the one online source I've found has a rather high minimum purchase requirement. There aren't any other general fabric stores around here. Central PA is Bumblefuck when it comes to fabric. At least we have a kickass quilt shop, but that doesn't help me find weird trim.
This particular trim is cord with a densely woven plain cotton cover. It's awesome for putting a raised rounded edge on costume armor. It's bias trim, which means it goes around corners without wrinkling, and the texture is subtle enough that you can paint it with metallic paint and it still looks good. (And if you really want the texture to go away, a few coats of gesso and a buttload of sanding will do it. I like the texture, so I didn't bother.) Here's a shoulder pauldron of the costume I'm bringing to Otakon this year. Don't mind me...I'm a costume-making dork, and I can't resist pimping my work. |

The face in hot pavement incident... I remember that. Now stealing from Wal-Mart... what kind of idiot would steal something from Wal-Mart that costs less than 25 bucks and could be broken easily?  |

| Petty theft is stupid. The item is never worth the potential consequences. | |||

| I was reading through the article and noticed this little section specifically.
"Wal-Mart said the change would allow it to focus on theft by professional shoplifters and its own employees, who together steal the bulk of merchandise from the chain every year, rather than the teenager who occasionally takes a candy bar from the checkout counter." So it's true. Wal-Mart employees steal from the store. It's just like in that episode of the Simpsons where they steal everything when they are held overnight. Anyways, I think the policy is bad. When you turn 13 or 14, you can be charged as an adult. I don't see why they're letting it go if you are under 18. It should be if you are younger than 13 you can't be arrested. I don't like Wal-Mart or it's policies. |

| The Wal-Mart in my city (it's a very small city) had over a million dollars in lost inventory from employee theft last year. I remember they caught one guy rolling new tires out of the automotive department after it had closed. he had enough in the back of his truck that they nailed him for grand theft. | |||

Suddenly those $15 headphones don't seem too bad. 
Seriously though, WTF? [edit] What a waste of post #2500. (edited by HyperMackerel on 07-14-06 12:01 AM) |

Also, in Maryland there was a law passed where Wal-Mart has to pay all of it employees at least minimum wage and put a part of their profits towards medical insurance for them. Maybe this will spread to the rest of the states and then they will get rid of this stupid policy because they're losing money from it.  |

Originally posted by Syn I'm pretty sure that's Wal-Mart policy anyway. As for the minumum wage... well... I think that was already a law 
And good tires ain't cheap. I'd imagine a lot of people would steal them if they thought they could get away with it. |

| Did anyone actually read the story? Seems like there's a fairly sensible rationale behind the policy change here. | |||

Originally posted by Arwon Well, Wal-Mart seems to be evil but they wouldn't survive with thoose tactics here with our labour laws. And for shoplifting... I'm too honest to shoplift. Though I could imagine it be very easy, with the shops around here. But then there's zero-tolerancy policies as far I know on every grocery stuff here. |

| I think this is Wal-Mart saying "Hey shoplift us right now!" They are truly idiots and that site is right they are always expensive prices so there probaly isn't anything under $25 | |||

Originally posted by Byte Clothes, movies, games, music, food, common household items, and a few toys. I bet people are going to try and steal some movies now even though that most of them are about $12. I don't shoplift, but this is quite tempting. |
