The only thing that suprises me is the fact that they are going to give the money back. When I worked at Walmart in 1996 they made sure I knew that if I so much as took the pen from the cash register home on accident, I would be prosecuted as a shoplifter. That was a very important part of their training. Walmart takes shiplifting seriously.

Now if they could take all the money spent getting that $175 back, and hire people who actually know that they are supposed to get the carts in from the parking lot before there are so many carts in the lots that you have to swerve up and down the rows just to drive through them, I might be happy.

I’ve actually seen multiple carts sailing across the parking lot all by themselves on a windy day. It’s sad.
