Saw someone shoplifting today… and honestly, I didn’t care

So I work at Walmart. Been here a couple years, mostly stocking and helping customers, nothing too wild. Today while I was zoning shelves, I saw this guy slide some baby formula and a couple canned goods into his jacket. We made eye contact for like half a second… and I just turned back to what I was doing. Look, I know technically I’m supposed to report it. But I’m not about to chase someone down or snitch over a few bucks worth of food. Especially when it’s basic stuff like formula and canned beans. That’s not someone running off with a flat screen, that’s someone trying to feed a kid or just themselves. Walmart makes billions. Like literal billions. Meanwhile, some folks out here are choosing between dinner and rent. I’m not gonna be the guy making life harder for someone already struggling, just to protect corporate profits. Not worth it. Anyway, just wanted to put that out there. I know some people will say theft is theft, and yeah, maybe. But there’s a difference between surviving and stealing for fun. I know which one I saw today. Anyone else feel the same?

You aren't authorized to confront a shoplifter. However, you should contact mgmt. or loss prevention. Stealing isn't cool. It makes prices go up for everyone.
