109. She broke a rule even non employees know Walmart invokes.

How could any Walmart employee who isn't authorized to chase shoplifters forget the rule they've all been told countless times? There are good reasons for the rule, such as opening the store up to liability far greater than the cost of some consumer goods.

I can't stand Walmart and think they're deplorable for many reasons, but this is not one of them. Most retailers have similar rules, and every time some employee thinks they're a hero and decides to chase down a shoplifter, we get one of these stories that always says exactly the same thing.
