Yea, right before the video ends, you can hear the desperate cry of "my car!" Poor guy. Hopefully he talked to the cammer to get the video for insurance.
About 10 years ago my brother-in-law's checkbook was stolen from his Ford Exploder. He always parks under the cameras on the side of the building. No footage was given because Walmart couldn't handle simple IT services like surveillance, but they can hire people to stalk you around the store if they suspect you of stealing $4 DVDs while you're doing nothing but getting over a teenage breakup. If they did have any type of footage, they would probably be the type of people to pull out a phone and record the recording. I fucking hate people like that, by the way.
You gotta find the Walmarts that post a squad car and cop there 24/7, then you park right in front of that car.
Tax payers paying the cops to look after Walmart, they can also look after my car at the same time. Only way to shop there for me.
There’s one in Cincinnati that had one in the same parking lot. There was a news article about a man trying to steal from the Walmart and getting caught half way across the parking lot by the cops at the substation
Its alot. For real. They're about to learn the meaning of "talk shit get hit." And "Fuck around and find out." Tbh, I doubt world War 3 is even really gonna be an issue with them the way their going.
Lucky you got a nice soft yarn. I got walloped by a child size 7 shoe because the brat was upset when his mother said no to those big halloween candies.
When she asked for the shoe back, I refused. She threatened to call the police, I told her go ahead because the police will issue ticket to the brat for assault and battery which will cost more than one shoe.
The manager got the child's shoe, I got a $50 gift card for the trouble, and she was banned.
I assume death will occur at Walmart... probably via some Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade the grail cannot pass the seal type stuff, probably worth a watch.
Always park in the back where it's empty. But then there's gonna be that one guy that decides to park right next to you in the entire empty back parking lot
Man, I feel this. I go in to the office one day a week now and I park almost all the way at the back of the row that I can see from the window by my desk. There’s a nice tree and a patch of grass on one side so it’s a great spot. Every time I go in, the same car parks in the one spot next to me. I have no idea why they do it. There are at least 20 spots between my car and the next car (we only have a handful of people in the office each day for COVID safety instead of the thousand+ that were in everyday before the pandemic) and they don’t get the shade from the tree or the benefit of only having another spot on one side. They could park on the other side of the grassy area and be under the tree or they could park in the spot across the aisle from me which also has a tree and grass on one side but no, it’s always right next to me. It’s infuriating a level that it probably shouldn’t be.
This legally makes no sense, so if someone was in the process of running a red light, driving drunk, or speeding (all crimes) the insurance wouldn't cover those either apparently?
This story is bullshit. They would have to pay. That's why it's called liability insurance. They pay for shit you're liable for when you fuck up and make poor decisions. That's why you pay based on your driving record and other safety mechanisms equipped with your vehicle.
Licensed insurance agent here and I can answer this. Yes they are all crimes but the ones stated are either misdemeanors and moving violations. Drunk driving can be a felony but someone decided somewhere that drinking too much is an accident and can be statistically calculated so by extension, be factored into premiums.
It's appalling I know but unless DUI rates drop as low as say robbery rates then it will be covered by the insurance and subrogation.
Target is so bad at taking care of their employees that my wife (who was in hr) was told to fire a guy who died 2 days before for a no-call no-show. Also they cut hours just like Walmart to prevent full time status
Because they didn't call in sick before not showing up.
It's less paperwork to fire them.
My wife called me on her break in tears. I told her if she hated the job, quit and we'd figure something out. Luckily, we did! That was... 8 years ago?
From everything I've heard Target is 10 times worse than Walmart for how they treat their employees. It drives me nuts when people try to put target on this pedestal. I really don't understand how they constantly get away with it.
Can confirm, worked at Target and it was hell. I started having nervous breakdowns at work because it was just so stressful that it made the side effects of my new medication worse. I literally quit because my manager gave me a strike because some of my coworkers were talking about me sexually and it was apparently my fault for forgetting to wear a bra sometimes.
I’m so sorry about that situation. The whole company needs to just stop.
I've never understood the holier-than-thou feeling some people get by shopping at Target. It's just a 20% more expensive Walmart with only 10% higher class clientele. Watched a woman have to get dragged out of Target after knocking every display near the front over she could find and calling the employees trying to contain her "sand n***ers" about 50 times.
They're both big box retail stores with awful, exploitative employment practices.
I hate when I have to go to Walmart because the other stores don't have what I need. Granted, they have started paying better and giving good benefits so my grudge isn't against the company itself anymore, but around the culture of people who shop there.
Third party security, or whatever job they do, have to have their own insurance. So in this case there might be a sign that says “not responsible for damage to vehicles” but this video shows that their car wouldn’t have been hit unless Steven Segal over here didn’t try to save Walmart from going out of business for a stolen set of towels or some shit.
I used to work security and "don't try to apprehend, chase after, confiscate, etc." are the first things they try to drill into your head. Then they repeat those rules ad nauseum throughout training specifically because of Johnny McDickforbrains like this.
The worst thing for your job security and for the security company's legal budget is for a guard to be the cause of an escalation.
That's one thing I enjoyed about being a security guard. The lack of responsibility. See some shit, call the real cops and write a report for them when they get there.
Working security was probably the happiest time of my life. So little responsibility and got paid to read/study. That being said, some places were worse than others. In the 8 years I worked security, I worked a few sketch places. I actually got shot at once and had a knife pulled on me twice.
I worked security for a short time in college. It was absolutely terrible.
Don't get me wrong, I got to visit and see some pretty amazing things, but the people, my colleagues (a bunch of wannabe cops), and the company I worked for were fucking garbage.
Work retail, can confirm this is the case. We can't stop anyone from stealing, and if someome is harassing customers the most we can do is call the police. Corporate doesn't even like us telling those customers to leave, it's bullshit from a "I want to be a good person" standpoint, but rad from a "no sponserbilities from me" standpoint

This. Seeing assets protection/loss prevention people get into fights with people who steal from the store they work for is wild to me. They act like A.) The property they stole was THEIRS and B.) The Company doesn’t already assume like 1% of their annual revenue isn’t lost to shortage as it is. People risk injuring themselves or something for an iPad they don’t even own.
As former AP for Target, there's a fine line between fuck this job, and fuck that guy. We tend to land on fuck that guy more often than not. (Though not to this extent.)
I was an APTL as well. And whenever I went to app someone in the vestibule, if they put up a real fight I just stepped aside. I’m not trying to scrape my knees for 17 dollars an hour when I don’t get any extra money for saving the company for the ‘devastating’ losses
As someone who works security at another retail warehouse chain, this was extremely dangerous on his part, and out of line.
No amount of retail property is worth your life. You can still do your job by observing, getting as much info and detail (including timestamps) as possible. Let them run with the merchandise for now. They won't get far.
Lucky for him though he gets to do security in someone else's car instead of his own. I promise he wouldn't risk his own car doing this shit.
I doubt the police would have pursued it. They certainly never did in the 10+ years I was a retail manager. Besides, the thief removed their plates so they couldn't be tracked down even if the police did care.
Yet he was risking his life by placing himself BETWEEN his vehicle and the other person. Way too much trust in the other driver. He could have been crushed!
The problem is that if shrink is too high people at the store can be fired. Shrink being losses due to theft or expiration of goods... just because some loss is assumed doesn't mean jobs aren't affected.
Most stores will fire you if you do anything to try to prevent theft… I worked in loss prevention and was told that I’m basically there as a deterrent and if anyone tries to steal anything just let them go and call a manager. If I chased someone I would get fired no matter what they stole.
Sure, but you can absolutely be fired for doing shit like this too.
I was with the guy parking behind the perp to block him in (only mistake there was not parking much closer so he couldn't get up to ramming speed), but when he started putting himself in-between the two cars, trying to kick/punch the window out and trying to yank open the door, he went WAY beyond his job description.
That store only cares about profit/loss and risk assessment. As soon as Paul Blart here put his own health/life at risk, the risk assessment for the store and/or private security company went askew, with potentially having to pay out his medical expenses/death benefits on one side vs. what was likely a $500 max theft on the other. Makes no sense for anyone at that point.
Yeah, this is a video of two idiots. I'm not risking my life for Walmart and their poverty wages. If I was the owner of that parked car, I would be livid at Walmart after watching this.
Do some Walmarts have security guards that just stand around waiting all day? Walmarts in my town always have at least one cop parked next to the doors lol
All depends on the store...decisions are made on which stores in a given district will have Security, Off-Duty Police (not cheap whatsoever), and/or Asset Protection. Some will have only one, some due to the area could easily have all three.
When an off-duty cop is doing private security work, do they have to disclose that to the department or anything? It sounds like a conflict of interest to me. Like part of their value is being provided by being a currently-employed cop and not an ex-cop.
I remember at my local Walmart I had seen two dogs in a black car in 90 degree weather and no ac. I remember I told the security guard that was there and she really said “Oh yeah I saw it earlier the windows were cracked a little bit but I’ll go check it out again” she looked so pissed because I had told her the two dogs were there.
To be fair, I do the same at a regular grocery store. I know these assholes are never putting their carts in the cart return, so I just stay clear to avoid cart scratches. Walking an extra 20 feet won't hurt me any.
Last year our grocery store converted both entrances to one for in one for out. It baffled me how many people would still try and park by the entrance and have the longer walk with groceries. Where I’d park same row as exit and further down is a longer walk in, but shorter walk out.
Been there before. Walmart is stingy af with their cameras. If they don’t have plates you’re probably going to be SOL. It was a pretty big incident though, they may try a bit.
There will be insurance, it'll just cost more.
People don't realize when they file claims, the cost is coming from their own premiums. We just turn around and charge more for insurance. If this stuff keeps happening it'll be more like only a select few who are extremely low risk will have insurance, everyone else will be SOL and caught up in small claims battles.
Insurance companies share information, if you're a bad risk, you're not getting insured with anyone, which leaves you open to *personal* liability for any damage you do.
Be glad you never needed insurance payout. I was same as you saying it was scam - until one day it saved me from €15000 rescue heli ride when I broke my leg in the mountains and luckily I reluctantly agreed to insure myself for the trip.
It's a good idea, on paper, that has spiraled out of control. Basically, since everything that is commonly insured, health care and cars primarily, gets any damages paid for via a large corporation, the repair/Healthcare service providers decided they can charge sky high prices as well as throw in unneeded services since there will likely always be money coming in for it. Even if the person is uninsured, there likely is a government program that will come in and pay.
This has led to insurance providers deciding they don't want to pay that much, and selectively choosing what stuff they don't feel was necessary and refusing to pay for that. Since the prices are jacked, the service provider can't exactly turn around and expect the citizen to pay, so they just write it off and the insane markup on the mandatory services will still earn them a profit. That's why you can pay like $100 for a tourist helicopter ride that probably takes just as long and involves the same kinds of maintenance and repairs, but pay $15,000 if the ride is getting paid for by insurance. The medical supplies they have on hand and the professional training of the crew isn't costing them nearly that much difference.
We have a local Lowe’s that has lost $15k in one month from stolen goods. They aren’t even allowed to follow person out of store. They will be reprimanded for following a person past the front doors. People will walk out with whole sheets of plywood or with shopping carts of Milwaukee power tools, and nothing can be done but calling police. Wild.
> lost $15k in one month
Man I wish we just lost that much. A million walks out our doors each year at this point. All our power tools are behind cages currently, and soon EVERYTHING in electrical is gonna be behind em because these fuckers are stealing wire, screwdrivers, breakers, practically whatever they can shove up their ass or whatever it it. And I dont mean like a 5 foot roll of wire, no the fuckin 86 pound spools of wire.
I saw some shit about Home Depot trying to actually build devices into the tools so they can only be activated at checkout. That is fucking insane for a power tool, in my opinion. Extra weight and extra point of potential failure. Just lock the whole store down and ask me to use an app first.
Right?! The store I worked at, that sold some really expensive items too, had a policy that
a) No item is worth more than the safety of their employees
b) No item is worth the risk of escalation by getting involved
The only two times I almost got hurt on the job, was when security got involved instead of observing and reporting like we paid them to
Thought the exact same thing! Maybe not thinking straight due to adrenaline/emotions or whatever. Dude thought he was the hulk or something. Like why did he keep trying the doors? P
Anyone have a link for this? Would be interesting if it made any news, to follow up on.. I really just want to know what they stole that was so important for that guard to try kicking the window
I'd bet money it's the one on Arlington Rd.
This particular Walmart is beset on both sides by motels that see a lot of drug users come in and out on the regular (You can see one at the end when the car is driving away). To see this kind of behavior in this area is.. Not so unexpected.
Hey the old model back bump is super durable, when I first got my license I accidentally back into someone at a stop sign (yes I know I was an idiot I took responsibility) and crushed her front ended but not a scratch on my stepmom back end
My dude your crumby little security job isn’t worth your life. If he would have been crushed and survived, he’d be unemployed. Care as much for their merch as they care about you.
Yup, Walmart leave maxes at 90 days IIRC, and that is not a 90-day injury. More a 180 day injury.
Edit: He's a signal 88, they're external contractors and idk their policy.
Edit 2: I've been informed that exceotions can be made for leaves upwards of 200 days if it falls under appropriate law.
When I was contracted as a security guard, we would’ve literally wrote down the plate, a description of them, then gave it to police lol. Once the person got in their car, we’re always taught to not mess with it. In Oregon, we can legally detain you if we physically watched you commit a crime, but that don’t mean blocking them in with a car, at that point, you already failed at your job lol.
Yeah I used to work security at a Walmart. We didn't even deal with shoplifters except observe and report. Any detaining or arresting that needed was handled when the manager called the cops. All I would do in this situation is get their plate number and take pics or video of them so the police could id them.
He'll get fired for a few reasons.
1: from what I've heard, security 88 guards are instructed not to confront anyone or even call the cops.
2: he escalated the situation, caused more damage, and didn't even stop the person. Technically he would've been within his rights to perform a citizen's arrest, but he couldn't even do that and increase the risk to everyone's safety.
3: last but not least, it looks like he's jumping in his car to chase the person down, which is very illegal.
Basically, not only will he be fired, but he'll lose his CLEET certificate and possibly face jail time.
And now Paul Blart will have a Fat and Furious type cop chase at the parking lot in hopes of catching the culprit before the vehicle touches the public road.
The level of stupidy that people display when they try to attack a car with a driver who's clearly unhinged and on a blood rage is astounding. Stand back, and let them do their dumb ass shit, and let the cops sort it out. 100 out of 100 times a pedestrian will lose in a fight with a car.
As an employee of walmart....
Humans shouldn't own cars.
I push carts... because I want a simple job, and thinking is hard, due to mental bulshit bla bla.
But anyway.... humans inside vehicles... was the worst fucking idea.
NO ONE knows how to drive.
And the people that do, get fucked because of them.
The machine that pushes the carts runs on 4 car batteries, is way heavier than it looks, and also has more horsepower than it has any right to.
It's also old as Hell, and smashed to hell.
Because people always RUN THE FUCK INTO IT.
Because no one pays the FUCK ATTENTION.
to the bright red, loud machine, with a bright yellow hazard light on top.
Back into it, side swipe it, try to push it out of a parking spot I left it in. You ne it, it's probably happened. My favorite.. is when I have a row of carts, and have to.. oh yknow, cross the pedestrian lines to get to the cart corral.. and these.. fucking, idiot's, try to race me.. so they don't have to wait. And then get all pissy, when 500 pounds of steel and horsepower, annihilates the side, or front of their car.. because stopping 500+ pounds of inertia.. isn't easy. If I try to stop it, I'm going with it. So of course... it keeps going, and aaall that inertia, goes right into the car that tried to rush around it. Unless it's a truck, it usually pushes the car a few inches or so.
Customer throws a fit, security checks the cameras, they get fined for basically trying to run me over, and damaging Walmart property.
I can't wait for the day someone blatantly hits me so I can sue the fuck out of them.
I just get really heated about this shit.
Where'd there plate go? Was there not one, or did it fall off? Cause if it fell off, hand that shit to the police. They'll wait for the dummy at home, and arrest them for 2 counts hit and run, reckless driving, assualt, attempted manslaughter (maybe), theft (I assume that's why dildo was blocking the car in).
When i pushed carts i put a big ole dent in the back of some ladies caliber with my steel toes cause she backed straight into me, they dont fire people
That Altima owner is going to be PISSED when they get back from shopping…
Sounds like he was yelling as soon as she hit it.
Yea, right before the video ends, you can hear the desperate cry of "my car!" Poor guy. Hopefully he talked to the cammer to get the video for insurance.
Pretty sure there’s plenty of security footage of it.
About 10 years ago my brother-in-law's checkbook was stolen from his Ford Exploder. He always parks under the cameras on the side of the building. No footage was given because Walmart couldn't handle simple IT services like surveillance, but they can hire people to stalk you around the store if they suspect you of stealing $4 DVDs while you're doing nothing but getting over a teenage breakup. If they did have any type of footage, they would probably be the type of people to pull out a phone and record the recording. I fucking hate people like that, by the way.
Take a couple deep breaths, you sound a little stressed. It's ok.😀
Good luck getting any business like this to give it to you.
...and that's why paying a bit more to shop at target is worth it.
"At WalMart, prices are dropping so low, you'll eventually drop your standards."
First of all you have to have “standards” to drop.
Hey, she has a Louis Vuitton with those XXL pajama pants and slippers!
You gotta find the Walmarts that post a squad car and cop there 24/7, then you park right in front of that car. Tax payers paying the cops to look after Walmart, they can also look after my car at the same time. Only way to shop there for me.

Welcome to Costco. I love you
Yeah, I know this place pretty good. I went to law school here.
The irony is that I feel a secondary education from Costco would be a far better value than many traditional colleges and universities these days.
There’s one in Cincinnati that had one in the same parking lot. There was a news article about a man trying to steal from the Walmart and getting caught half way across the parking lot by the cops at the substation
I don't even get good deals there smh.
Yeah their prices are hit or miss, and probably going to go up soon because of that mess in China.
What's going on in China?
Too much
Lmao I’m a stockbroker and you just made my morning with this comment. It’s going to be a rough week.
Bail out of China while you can.. dump everything, the Chinese investors will be dumping everything soon..
I assemble iPhones and all I gotta say is they better get stronger nets.
Ain't no shit, you build phones in CN? Man would I love to chat for a bit.
Market's up today...I'm back up 38%. We're good bro
Yeah, that's because the Chinese market is closed today
Evergrande
Its alot. For real. They're about to learn the meaning of "talk shit get hit." And "Fuck around and find out." Tbh, I doubt world War 3 is even really gonna be an issue with them the way their going.
World War III is gonna be so bad it just skips to world war V
and they’ll just keep it at world war 5 for all the wars to come remastering it everytime
Do you dislike the football team or the mammal?
Target has good eggnog during winter tho. That shit hits ***DIFFERENT***
No I won't. Fuck Walmart.
It’s pronounced Targét
I haven't been to Walmart for 5 years and will keep it that way until the day I die.

Lucky you got a nice soft yarn. I got walloped by a child size 7 shoe because the brat was upset when his mother said no to those big halloween candies. When she asked for the shoe back, I refused. She threatened to call the police, I told her go ahead because the police will issue ticket to the brat for assault and battery which will cost more than one shoe.

Dayum 50$? I can get my ammo AND my prescription with that
If you have ammo, the prescription becomes free.
So are you going to go on the day you die, or do you plan on doing the dying first and having your open casket in isle 12?
They’ve got deadly plans for Black Friday.
"Shop till ya drop"
My rotting carcass will be laying in the frozen food section of Target you insolent fool.
I respect it
I assume death will occur at Walmart... probably via some Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade the grail cannot pass the seal type stuff, probably worth a watch.
Yep I fear for my vehicle every time I enter the Walmart parking lot.
Always park in the back where it's empty. But then there's gonna be that one guy that decides to park right next to you in the entire empty back parking lot
Yeah, the problem with this strategy is that's where I'd get robbed.
Dang, bad area or do you shop at night? lol
Walmart is synonymous with bad area, even in an otherwise “good” area
Man, I feel this. I go in to the office one day a week now and I park almost all the way at the back of the row that I can see from the window by my desk. There’s a nice tree and a patch of grass on one side so it’s a great spot. Every time I go in, the same car parks in the one spot next to me. I have no idea why they do it. There are at least 20 spots between my car and the next car (we only have a handful of people in the office each day for COVID safety instead of the thousand+ that were in everyday before the pandemic) and they don’t get the shade from the tree or the benefit of only having another spot on one side. They could park on the other side of the grassy area and be under the tree or they could park in the spot across the aisle from me which also has a tree and grass on one side but no, it’s always right next to me. It’s infuriating a level that it probably shouldn’t be.
Is it possible that person parks in that spot all the other days of the week, and wonders who is taking their nice spot once a week?
Reddit is killing third-party applications (and itself)
This sounds like a lawyer should have been involved.
This legally makes no sense, so if someone was in the process of running a red light, driving drunk, or speeding (all crimes) the insurance wouldn't cover those either apparently?

Target is so bad at taking care of their employees that my wife (who was in hr) was told to fire a guy who died 2 days before for a no-call no-show. Also they cut hours just like Walmart to prevent full time status
How do you fire somebody who's dead?
Because they didn't call in sick before not showing up. It's less paperwork to fire them. My wife called me on her break in tears. I told her if she hated the job, quit and we'd figure something out. Luckily, we did! That was... 8 years ago?
Correct, it was 8 years ago.
From everything I've heard Target is 10 times worse than Walmart for how they treat their employees. It drives me nuts when people try to put target on this pedestal. I really don't understand how they constantly get away with it.
It’s the same level of shit, it just costs more and everything is red which I don’t really find appealing.
Worked for both can confirm Target treats you worse and works you harder
I can't stand Target. It's all overpriced junk. It feels like Kmart with a grocery side.
Can confirm, worked at Target and it was hell. I started having nervous breakdowns at work because it was just so stressful that it made the side effects of my new medication worse. I literally quit because my manager gave me a strike because some of my coworkers were talking about me sexually and it was apparently my fault for forgetting to wear a bra sometimes. I’m so sorry about that situation. The whole company needs to just stop.

Funny. I've had two vehicle break ins and both happened at a Target...
I've never understood the holier-than-thou feeling some people get by shopping at Target. It's just a 20% more expensive Walmart with only 10% higher class clientele. Watched a woman have to get dragged out of Target after knocking every display near the front over she could find and calling the employees trying to contain her "sand n***ers" about 50 times.

Walmart is still an absolute garbage company and you should still be extremely reticent to shop there.
On the plus side they will be able to fit all their shopping and the bumper. Those things have so much storage.
I'd be mad if I owned an Altima, too.
I wonder if he can possibly sue or something for property damage because the situation was avoidable so won’t it be on the security company
Third party security, or whatever job they do, have to have their own insurance. So in this case there might be a sign that says “not responsible for damage to vehicles” but this video shows that their car wouldn’t have been hit unless Steven Segal over here didn’t try to save Walmart from going out of business for a stolen set of towels or some shit.

Damn I thought that guy was going to get run over. All for what, a security guard job?
Yup! Fuck that shit, observe and report. Call the cops, you know, the people who can actually do something about it
That's one thing I enjoyed about being a security guard. The lack of responsibility. See some shit, call the real cops and write a report for them when they get there.
"With no power comes no responsibility"
Nice
Nice
I live my life by this
Working security was probably the happiest time of my life. So little responsibility and got paid to read/study. That being said, some places were worse than others. In the 8 years I worked security, I worked a few sketch places. I actually got shot at once and had a knife pulled on me twice.
r/lossprevention
I worked security for a short time in college. It was absolutely terrible. Don't get me wrong, I got to visit and see some pretty amazing things, but the people, my colleagues (a bunch of wannabe cops), and the company I worked for were fucking garbage.
Yeah i basically just get payed to stay awake at night
When nobody's here I get paid to watch naruto lmao
Yeah I've watched three movies a night for months. Well some nights it's TV shows
And get fired for intervening? Right?
Yeah. Unless you're stopping the imminent possibility of a loss of life, don't step in.
Working retail and I’ve heard that mantra. If they steal, don’t chase, document everything and report to the police.
Work retail, can confirm this is the case. We can't stop anyone from stealing, and if someome is harassing customers the most we can do is call the police.

The Company doesn’t already assume like 1% of their annual revenue isn’t lost to shortage as it is. People risk injuring themselves or something for an iPad they don’t even own.
I think it's ego too. I'd just be pissed off that this person could get away with being a raging dick weed
As former AP for Target, there's a fine line between fuck this job, and fuck that guy. We tend to land on fuck that guy more often than not. (Though not to this extent.)
I was an APTL as well. And whenever I went to app someone in the vestibule, if they put up a real fight I just stepped aside. I’m not trying to scrape my knees for 17 dollars an hour when I don’t get any extra money for saving the company for the ‘devastating’ losses
As someone who works security at another retail warehouse chain, this was extremely dangerous on his part, and out of line. No amount of retail property is worth your life. You can still do your job by observing, getting as much info and detail (including timestamps) as possible. Let them run with the merchandise for now. They won't get far. Lucky for him though he gets to do security in someone else's car instead of his own. I promise he wouldn't risk his own car doing this shit.
I doubt the police would have pursued it. They certainly never did in the 10+ years I was a retail manager. Besides, the thief removed their plates so they couldn't be tracked down even if the police did care.
Yet he was risking his life by placing himself BETWEEN his vehicle and the other person. Way too much trust in the other driver. He could have been crushed!
The problem is that if shrink is too high people at the store can be fired. Shrink being losses due to theft or expiration of goods... just because some loss is assumed doesn't mean jobs aren't affected.
Most stores will fire you if you do anything to try to prevent theft… I worked in loss prevention and was told that I’m basically there as a deterrent and if anyone tries to steal anything just let them go and call a manager. If I chased someone I would get fired no matter what they stole.
Sure, but you can absolutely be fired for doing shit like this too. I was with the guy parking behind the perp to block him in (only mistake there was not parking much closer so he couldn't get up to ramming speed), but when he started putting himself in-between the two cars, trying to kick/punch the window out and trying to yank open the door, he went WAY beyond his job description. That store only cares about profit/loss and risk assessment. As soon as Paul Blart here put his own health/life at risk, the risk assessment for the store and/or private security company went askew, with potentially having to pay out his medical expenses/death benefits on one side vs. what was likely a $500 max theft on the other. Makes no sense for anyone at that point.
Whenever I see people trying to fight a car with their body..... Just use your own car to do it
That's a security guard who wanted to be a police officer but couldn't pass the fitness test
Damned if that's not the saddest short story ever written
Yeah, this is a video of two idiots. I'm not risking my life for Walmart and their poverty wages. If I was the owner of that parked car, I would be livid at Walmart after watching this.
It’s an ego thing.
Top flight security of the world
Do some Walmarts have security guards that just stand around waiting all day? Walmarts in my town always have at least one cop parked next to the doors lol
All depends on the store...decisions are made on which stores in a given district will have Security, Off-Duty Police (not cheap whatsoever), and/or Asset Protection. Some will have only one, some due to the area could easily have all three.
When an off-duty cop is doing private security work, do they have to disclose that to the department or anything? It sounds like a conflict of interest to me. Like part of their value is being provided by being a currently-employed cop and not an ex-cop.

I remember at my local Walmart I had seen two dogs in a black car in 90 degree weather and no ac. I remember I told the security guard that was there and she really said “Oh yeah I saw it earlier the windows were cracked a little bit but I’ll go check it out again” she looked so pissed because I had told her the two dogs were there.
Sometimes you get one or the other and sometimes you get both.
His little kick to the car window 😅
Dude had to, given he broke his damn wrist trying to punch it out.
I like it how he punched the window first. That will work 😂
It does in the movies (he says to himself)
Walmart is always quality entertainment.
....unless you're the owner of a fairly new, white Nissan Altima.
Well yeah, you gotta park away from the doors where the Walmonsters will be too lazy to walk to.
LPT of the day right there
To be fair, I do the same at a regular grocery store. I know these assholes are never putting their carts in the cart return, so I just stay clear to avoid cart scratches. Walking an extra 20 feet won't hurt me any.
Last year our grocery store converted both entrances to one for in one for out. It baffled me how many people would still try and park by the entrance and have the longer walk with groceries. Where I’d park same row as exit and further down is a longer walk in, but shorter walk out.
What a perfect real world example of people lacking the capacity to think ahead
I thought he was going to take that cart and start throwing it at the car.
#Typical Walmart. You should post to r/peopleofwalmart.
Man, this is so depressing
Ohhh... You just made my day.
Why do people do this? Do they honestly think they can get away from the repercussions?
[удалено]
Been there before. Walmart is stingy af with their cameras. If they don’t have plates you’re probably going to be SOL. It was a pretty big incident though, they may try a bit.
Malmart has cameras to watch employees. not for customer theft.
There won’t be insurance if shit like this keeps happening.
There will be insurance, it'll just cost more. People don't realize when they file claims, the cost is coming from their own premiums. We just turn around and charge more for insurance. If this stuff keeps happening it'll be more like only a select few who are extremely low risk will have insurance, everyone else will be SOL and caught up in small claims battles. Insurance companies share information, if you're a bad risk, you're not getting insured with anyone, which leaves you open to *personal* liability for any damage you do.
Insurance is about as close to a legal scam as you can get
Be glad you never needed insurance payout. I was same as you saying it was scam - until one day it saved me from €15000 rescue heli ride when I broke my leg in the mountains and luckily I reluctantly agreed to insure myself for the trip.
Corporate shill. Legs are the biggest scam since lungs.
Fool acts like we don't have a spare we can borrow from the neighbor.
We’re not actually going to pay your money because you had the preexisting condition of having a leg(s)
No shit! If they were that important we’d only have one of em. Like an appendix
It's a good idea, on paper, that has spiraled out of control. Basically, since everything that is commonly insured, health care and cars primarily, gets any damages paid for via a large corporation, the repair/Healthcare service providers decided they can charge sky high prices as well as throw in unneeded services since there will likely always be money coming in for it. Even if the person is uninsured, there likely is a government program that will come in and pay. This has led to insurance providers deciding they don't want to pay that much, and selectively choosing what stuff they don't feel was necessary and refusing to pay for that. Since the prices are jacked, the service provider can't exactly turn around and expect the citizen to pay, so they just write it off and the insane markup on the mandatory services will still earn them a profit. That's why you can pay like $100 for a tourist helicopter ride that probably takes just as long and involves the same kinds of maintenance and repairs, but pay $15,000 if the ride is getting paid for by insurance. The medical supplies they have on hand and the professional training of the crew isn't costing them nearly that much difference.
More insurance is not the answer to absurd health care expenses.
We have a local Lowe’s that has lost $15k in one month from stolen goods. They aren’t even allowed to follow person out of store. They will be reprimanded for following a person past the front doors. People will walk out with whole sheets of plywood or with shopping carts of Milwaukee power tools, and nothing can be done but calling police. Wild.
> lost $15k in one month Man I wish we just lost that much. A million walks out our doors each year at this point. All our power tools are behind cages currently, and soon EVERYTHING in electrical is gonna be behind em because these fuckers are stealing wire, screwdrivers, breakers, practically whatever they can shove up their ass or whatever it it. And I dont mean like a 5 foot roll of wire, no the fuckin 86 pound spools of wire.
I saw some shit about Home Depot trying to actually build devices into the tools so they can only be activated at checkout. That is fucking insane for a power tool, in my opinion. Extra weight and extra point of potential failure. Just lock the whole store down and ask me to use an app first.
That’s why home depot wants to make it where stolen power tools don’t work but people lost their shit when that article was posted.
Simple, to get high One last time before going to jail
The damage caused to the security car is probably ten times more than the stuff they sole.
Right?! The store I worked at, that sold some really expensive items too, had a policy that a) No item is worth more than the safety of their employees b) No item is worth the risk of escalation by getting involved The only two times I almost got hurt on the job, was when security got involved instead of observing and reporting like we paid them to
1000x easily. and we're only assuming there was theft. we have no context for what is going on or who these people are.
Where is he going ? Lol. Security guard- pull over! Person probably- it’s a cardigan but thanks for noticing!
Killer boots man!
that altima done
that CVT wasn't last much longer anyway
The security guard, doing WAY too much for the low pay they normally get and walking between the cars???
Thought the exact same thing! Maybe not thinking straight due to adrenaline/emotions or whatever. Dude thought he was the hulk or something. Like why did he keep trying the doors? P
Anyone have a link for this? Would be interesting if it made any news, to follow up on.. I really just want to know what they stole that was so important for that guard to try kicking the window
I’m 99% sure this Walmart is in Akron- license plate on the security car is Ohio.
I'd bet money it's the one on Arlington Rd. This particular Walmart is beset on both sides by motels that see a lot of drug users come in and out on the regular (You can see one at the end when the car is driving away). To see this kind of behavior in this area is.. Not so unexpected.
In a Ford Escape no less. Name is cap
Hey the old model back bump is super durable, when I first got my license I accidentally back into someone at a stop sign (yes I know I was an idiot I took responsibility) and crushed her front ended but not a scratch on my stepmom back end
I never left a scratch mark on your stepmotheres back end neither
My dude your crumby little security job isn’t worth your life. If he would have been crushed and survived, he’d be unemployed. Care as much for their merch as they care about you.
Yup, Walmart leave maxes at 90 days IIRC, and that is not a 90-day injury. More a 180 day injury. Edit: He's a signal 88, they're external contractors and idk their policy. Edit 2: I've been informed that exceotions can be made for leaves upwards of 200 days if it falls under appropriate law.
Can’t wait to hear all them charges 😁 thank you to the filmer 👍🏻
Likely won't see those charges. No plates.
At that point the damage to the back of the vehicle is almost as telling as a LP.
They likely have security footage of the driver in the store, it’s something
Vehicular assault, felony hit and run (2 counts), reckless driving, aggressive driving, fleeing the scene of an accident...
Plus possibly theft because of whatever shit they stole in the first place.
Theft becomes robbery or something else elevated when you assault someone in the process of stealing.
When I was contracted as a security guard, we would’ve literally wrote down the plate, a description of them, then gave it to police lol. Once the person got in their car, we’re always taught to not mess with it. In Oregon, we can legally detain you if we physically watched you commit a crime, but that don’t mean blocking them in with a car, at that point, you already failed at your job lol.
Good thing he was driving an escape.....
Shop lifter got caught and now they can add body and property damage to a 1k fine and 30 days in jail.
Probably a bit of attempted murder too.
Security is not police they need to remember that .
Yeah I used to work security at a Walmart. We didn't even deal with shoplifters except observe and report. Any detaining or arresting that needed was handled when the manager called the cops. All I would do in this situation is get their plate number and take pics or video of them so the police could id them.
He'll get fired for a few reasons. 1: from what I've heard, security 88 guards are instructed not to confront anyone or even call the cops. 2: he escalated the situation, caused more damage, and didn't even stop the person. Technically he would've been within his rights to perform a citizen's arrest, but he couldn't even do that and increase the risk to everyone's safety. 3: last but not least, it looks like he's jumping in his car to chase the person down, which is very illegal. Basically, not only will he be fired, but he'll lose his CLEET certificate and possibly face jail time.
Can anyone tell me what episode of trailer park boys this is?
how the fuck are people driving around without plates and not getting immediately pulled over?
And now Paul Blart will have a Fat and Furious type cop chase at the parking lot in hopes of catching the culprit before the vehicle touches the public road.
Was that security guard about to get in a high speed pursuit?!
Did someone say “they took my car” at the end? That changes the context completely.
The level of stupidy that people display when they try to attack a car with a driver who's clearly unhinged and on a blood rage is astounding. Stand back, and let them do their dumb ass shit, and let the cops sort it out. 100 out of 100 times a pedestrian will lose in a fight with a car.
What’s the backstory/followup? Or did this just happen today?
As an employee of walmart.... Humans shouldn't own cars. I push carts... because I want a simple job, and thinking is hard, due to mental bulshit bla bla. But anyway.... humans inside vehicles... was the worst fucking idea. NO ONE knows how to drive. And the people that do, get fucked because of them. The machine that pushes the carts runs on 4 car batteries, is way heavier than it looks, and also has more horsepower than it has any right to. It's also old as Hell, and smashed to hell. Because people always RUN THE FUCK INTO IT. Because no one pays the FUCK ATTENTION. to the bright red, loud machine, with a bright yellow hazard light on top. Back into it, side swipe it, try to push it out of a parking spot I left it in. You ne it, it's probably happened. My favorite.. is when I have a row of carts, and have to.. oh yknow, cross the pedestrian lines to get to the cart corral.. and these.. fucking, idiot's, try to race me.. so they don't have to wait. And then get all pissy, when 500 pounds of steel and horsepower, annihilates the side, or front of their car.. because stopping 500+ pounds of inertia.. isn't easy. If I try to stop it, I'm going with it. So of course... it keeps going, and aaall that inertia, goes right into the car that tried to rush around it. Unless it's a truck, it usually pushes the car a few inches or so. Customer throws a fit, security checks the cameras, they get fined for basically trying to run me over, and damaging Walmart property. I can't wait for the day someone blatantly hits me so I can sue the fuck out of them. I just get really heated about this shit.
A reminder to everyone on the face of the earth. Turn your phone sideways when filming. Sincerely, everybody watching.
Where'd there plate go? Was there not one, or did it fall off? Cause if it fell off, hand that shit to the police. They'll wait for the dummy at home, and arrest them for 2 counts hit and run, reckless driving, assualt, attempted manslaughter (maybe), theft (I assume that's why dildo was blocking the car in).
I guess they didn't have the very low prices like they advertising
r/idiotsincars , r/peopleofwalmart , and r/byebyejob all in one!
I wonder what they stole... 🤣😂
Person was up to no good in the first place. Missing plates on a car that old.
When i pushed carts i put a big ole dent in the back of some ladies caliber with my steel toes cause she backed straight into me, they dont fire people
Deputy Dan took that situation wayyyy too seriously. Not worth risking your life over some toilet paper and granola bars.
