I watched a customer stealing at the Neighborhood Walmart self-check out in Colony Plaza. She had a package of gum in the palm of her hand and every time she moved an item from the cart to a bag she would scan the gum package instead of the item. Every item she stole she was charging herself $1.35. She must have had 50 packages of gum on her receipt as payment for hundreds of dollars of goods. I reported this immediately to the manager on duty. They also watched her but did nothing. Finally the manager and I watched the thief walk right out the door. I left my name and contact info if they needed me as a witness but they never called. All our prices increase to subsidize this activity. Shame.
