The temptation of not paying for something is very big factor in why people steal. The shoplifter thinks he is getting a product for free and doesn't know what he's really doing to himself and the community. Shoplifting affects yourself, your local neighborhood and the world population.

Walmart employees, customers, and suppliers have seen their fair share of Walmart’s bad side. While Walmart’s founder, Sam Walton, claims to make their employees feel like they “are working for them” and that they care Walmart has done such a horrific job with the way they treat their employees that one day, the workers decided to walk out and go on strike. They walked out on the grounds that they “were emblazoned with the workers’ grievances: poverty wages, miserly benefits, dignity denied” (Eidelson 1). They felt like they weren’t only taking a stand against Walmart, but also taking a stand for the younger generations to come. Walmart’s employees are getting treated unfairly and are underpaid. The CEO’s, Michael Duke, annual salary gives him more money in an hour than an employee who works full-time would make in an entire year. In Bangladesh, over 100 workers “died in a factory without outdoor fire escapes, NGOs blame Walmart for pushing deadly shortcuts” (Eidelson 1). Not only are the employees being poorly paid by Walmart, but they are paying their life to Walmart just to make enough money to barely get by. Walmart even made a pregnant employee work around chemicals that eventually made her ill. After a trip to the doctor, Walmart allowed her to be put on a lighter duty, so they made her a door greeter; however, they

In the reading “Up Against Wal-Mart” by Karen Olson, she explains the tactics used by Wal-Mart in order to avoid paying their employees the fair wages they deserve. By training their employees to be anti-union, they can keep their pay lower while getting more labor out of them. In doing this employees are less likely to ask or receive promotions because they do not expect it to happen. Many of those who have worked at a Wal-Mart speak out on the mistreatment because they want a fair wage for the work they are putting in. The main focus for the way Wal-Mart runs their business is to teach their employees about working in a place union free. Those who disagree do not gain much change because they are quickly put down.

Dispatch conducted an internal check on the defendant and confirmed that he was trespassed by Officer Howard on 03-28-2017. On that day, the defendant was opening packages and he attempted to exit the store without paying for merchandise. Furthermore, the defendant had no money or credit card to pay for the items. Walmart declined to press criminal charges and only requested that a trespass warning be issued. Officer Howard's report states that the defendant acknowledged, signed, and received a copy of the trespass warning. Reference P.R.P.D. case #2017-0380.

Group 2 was assigned the Rainier and Henderson hotspot in Rainier Beach, Seattle, Washington. This intersection is inside the Beach Square area, and is located in between 3 schools and a community center. A fourth school is located just outside the Beach Square boundary, but was still used within the scope of the project. There are three bus stops and two shopping centers nearby the intersection. Two of these bus stops are across the street from the schools. Rainier and Henderson has a mixed land use from the blending of commercial and nearby residential areas. For our project, we focused on the shopping centers that were located nearby the four schools.

Shoplifting is a large concern of any retail store, including Rite Aid pharmacy. Employees are trained through continuing education what to look for when customers are possibly shoplifting. Customers with backpacks are not allowed to wander around the store. Backpack may be held behind the front register for customers. Security measures such as vault boxes are used on high risk items, and high priced items are kept at the front of the store behind the front registers. Employees are made aware monthly of the most shoplifted items that month in every district of Rite Aid Pharmacies. Employees can then monitor those specific items for possible shoplifting. Security announcements may be made over the store intercom to alert employees of possible shoplifting activities and to scan all aisles.

Scenario 1 – The actions I would take is tell that one friend to stop because we can get arrest for shoplifting. Also I would take actions in my own and I would put whatever he or she that person has shoplift back. Under the peer pressure I think that person will think about his actions and stop what he is doing is wrong.

Wal-Mart represents the sickness of capitalism at its almost fully evolved state. As Jim Hightower said, "Why single out Wal-Mart? Because it's a hog. Despite the homespun image it cultivates in its ads, it operates with an arrogance and avarice that would make Enron blush and John D. Rockefeller envious. It's the world's biggest retail corporation and America's largest private employer; Sam Robson Walton, a member of the ruling family, is one of the richest people on earth. Wal-Mart and the Waltons got to the top the old-fashioned way: by roughing people up. Their low, low prices are the product of two ruthless commandments: Extract the last penny possible from human toil and squeeze the last

Customers influence Wal-Mart by buying their products. However, Wal-Mart doesn’t provide arm security on the parking lots which has cause to many incidences such as shooting, raping and kidnapping.
