Okay so this story is actually BS. It originated either on Empire News or another site similar to The Onion that posts satirical news stories. The sad part is that the woman pictured in the story is actually even more messed up than someone who would steal stuff in Read More…

Police find $100 Worth Of Walmart Groceries In Woman’s Vagina
The title alone gives this one away. I had thieves stash merchandise in their pants, down their cleavage, in their little brother’s wheelchair (super sad story) and heard about a guy who was stealing a steak by putting it under his hat until the store clerks noticed he was “bleeding.” But this Read More…
Walmart employee accused of stealing $240K from store
Over the years I’ve had a lot of trusted employees steal from my store. I’ve always subscribed to the 5/90/5 rule–meaning 5% of people will steal from you no matter what, 5% would NEVER steal from you no matter what, and the other 90% might if you give them a motive and opportunity. I Read More…
Walgreens Filing False Claims?
This suit is about a year and a half old, but it continues a trend that has been in CVS as well, specifically pharmacies bending the rules to get Medicare and Medicaid claims paid. Seeing how thoroughly they audit the pharmacy on a regular basis, it’s amazing to me that this kind of stuff Read More…
Walgreens manager busted & broken in cig-stealing scheme
So this is some classic stuff, once again the Karma Truck comes a-calling and some idiot discovers crime doesn’t pay. Over $100,000 in around a year is pretty impressive, makes me wonder if someone had noticed the shrink in his store and was asking him if he knew what was going on–and all the Read More…
The Rising Tide of Crime
The other day I posted a photo that showed Tide being locked up in a store somewhere (turned out to be a Walgreens) and I made a comment about what a bad area that must be. Well I have since learned that this is in fact a thing in a lot of areas. Below is Read More…
No Idea Where This Store Is, But Glad I Don’t Work There!
I know it’s New and Improved and all, but locking up the detergent with security tags is something I’ve never seen and hope I never do. Are people really walking out the door with Tide?
Meth Lab Discovered In Walmart Restroom
While I’ve found some scary things in rest rooms over my career, (including a janitor posing naked in the mirror, poop flung against the walls and mirrors and other unimaginable nightmares) I’m glad I never walked into this one. Police discovered a meth lab at a Walmart in Muncie, Indiana. Police discovered a methamphetamine lab Read More…
Why You Don’t Follow People Out of The Store
This is from a couple years ago, but the lesson remains the same. Do not follow shoplifters or problem customers, especially when they say “If you follow me, I have something in my car for you.” CUSTOMER PULLS OUT GUN AFTER EMPLOYEE WON’T TAKE HER COUPON It seems that every day we hear about the Read More…
Meth lab discovered at Wal-Mart restroom
Well, in all my years in retail, I have to say I’ve had some crazy things happen in the restroom of my store–one time I walked in and our janitor was posing naked in front of the mirror. I’ve found plenty of stolen merchandise in the trash can, seen some poop messes I’d rather not Read More…
