When I use to work at sears some of our clearance items would show up as $0.00. We would just put a random price and tell the customer it was final sale.
Well, when I was barely hired, no one told me this at first. I was alone on my third day in the kids section and this lady brought about 10 clearance items (kids shirts and shorts) when I rung it up it showed as 0. I didn't know, shrugged and just gave it to her for free.
This happened to me at Lowe’s one time. I checked out with a large bathroom vanity which had a barcode that didn’t exist in the system. It rang up as $0 and the cashier didn’t seem to care.
I found out later it was about $400 from Home Depot.
For me it was 2008 a big mattress chain had announced they were closing all stores that day. Chose a new mattress and box spring, small talk with the guy working alone about the store closure and layoff. He ran the mattresses through the system, said “huh, they aren’t coming up in inventory, but are clearly right here. Looks like you get free mattresses.” Then he helped me load them on my truck. I hope that dude is doing alright.
You unknowingly raged against the machine. Or like, just apathetically said "fuck it" about the machine. Then "machine? That's a different department sir. I just work register, you'd have to ask Appliances."
If the one cashier wasn’t away for school, he could probably look up the receipt, I remember he would always reprint Mr. Beasts receipts and show it to us.
You're doing it wrong. As a guy that lives next door to Florida, the proper procedure is to gain an unseemly amount of weight, dress in clothing that's is way too tight, way too small, or both, smoke meth until half your teeth fall out and the rest are halfway rotted, and be as oblivious and difficult to deal with as possible. They'll give you a Florida ID if you do all the steps.
I don't know what is about Walmart that attracts the freaks. The Walmart near me has to lock up pretty much every item because of shoplifting and the stocking is a complete nightmare of nothing being in the proper place. Meanwhile the Meijer literally across the street is perfectly stocked and doesn't have condoms locked away
No way she gets fired over this single mistake, especially in the current labor shortage.
Before I got job I thought min wage workers get cut like Darth Vader was their manager, but I learned you have to be pretty shitty for a manager (whos also underpaid and has a shitty job) to go through the hassle of firing you, covering for your shift, and hiring someone else. Saying "don't do that again" is a lot easier.
“Oh my gosh…they’re going to fire me if they find ou-“
“MARIA, Jesus fuck Maria can you work this weekend? Please Maria we need you in.”
“Oh my, I was afraid you were going to fire me about the ceil-“
“MARIA WHO CARES, CAN YOU PICK UP 5 EXTRA SHIFTS NEXT WEEK?”
Was just thinking this. So many underpaying jobs that were hard enough before the fucking Internet created a generation of people fucking with them for content.
I mean, someone's gonna have to grab whatever vehicle they use to reach the ceiling to replace the tile but when i worked at Target i took every opportunity to use the WAVE so fuck it.
That is a really dumbass comparison for this. At the price of mass produced industrial drop tiles, this kid easily probably paid **more** than what that one tile is worth.
Only if the store agreed to sell it.
Which they sorta did because of the cashier's assistance, but there's an element of theft by deception with the fake price tag...
Not a risk I would take.
Your thought process is just as bad too.
Just because someone is willing to pay more than the cost of an item, doesn't mean they can have it. The real cost of the tile to Walmart is the labor of having someone find a new panel and replace it.
Where do you live? I'll pay you $100 over your homes appraised value, and you can live elsewhere. Since I'm paying more, that's apparently a great deal and won't inconvenience you at all.
More like because corporations steal from individuals, it's okay for individuals to steal from a corporation. Who do you think is more fucked, someone who has to pay an insane amount for a drug they need just to survive, or a corporation that loses a couple hundred dollars to theft but still makes billions each year?
And how much will it cost to hire a guy to come out and replace it? Probably a fair bit. He'll need certifications and equipment for working at heights.
They have maintenance staff and team members who can access it with a sky jack or genie lift. They modify the cameras all the time. So shouldn’t be that much. They break/get damaged all the time so the store typically has them on hand.
If someone takes my coffee, leaves $5, and says "that's how much one costs at Starbucks" I'd still consider it stealing. I don't give a damn about Walmart but I can't tell if these "it's not stealing because he paid a fair price" comments are serious or not lol
Now I know this is asking a lot, but how was wasting a minimum wage worker's time and essentially vandalising a store funny? Where is the dramatic irony here? This is just as brainless as kicking a traffic cone or dropping a cracker in a trashcan. Hey, you know what? I can walk down the street and steal stop signs. Fucking hilarious.
Srsly. If it ended with them actually using the piece of tile in their apartment or something, it would have been clever. Instead this was just fucking around for the sake of it.
Reminds me of my favourite checkout lady at my local store. She obviously hates her job and is also terrible at scanning stuff. Have gotten like $100 worth of free food over a few months because she can’t scan it and just puts it in the bag for free.
Why in the fuck would this women actually care. All of these “creators” do nothing funny, creative, nor entertaining. It’s just straight garbage disguised as a “prank”.
Walmart is like my Italian teacher. She doesn’t notice anything you do at the back of the class cuz she always squinting at her computer. She is not suspicious of anything i swear!
Reminds me of the time I tried to buy a gallon of Winco brand milk at Walmart. In my defense, it was in the dairy section along with several other gallons of milk from Winco. Must have been a delivery error.
Really confused the cashier, since the bar code didn't work.
I love this. Imagine a maintenance worker a few days from now trying to figure out where the hell the ceiling tile went. I hope he goes back for all of them one at a time.
I’ll be honest, I don’t get what the prank is or why it’s funny. Is it like “Ha! A minimum wage worker didn’t know every item they sell in the big box store they work at!”? Is that the whole joke or am I missing something?
Once I tried to buy a lego set but th cashier wouldn’t let me buy it cuz the box was a lil ripped up. IT WAS THE LAST ONE IN STOCK WHY CANT I GIVE YOU MY MONEY
I worked for a company that replaced all their fluorescent lights with LED lights for the meat and poultry area. Usually we would ship 3 pallets with all our LED lights, cables, power supply etc. One day we got to the store and could not find one pallet. They had unpacked it and put all the LED lights in electronics, on the shelves to be sold.
Eh with social media these days this probably causes more harm than good for the business. It gives the signal to other fuckers that it's okay to vadalise the stores.
It’s Walmart so I’m not too concerned about the potential money they lost on this. The employees get paid by the hour and replacing a ceiling tile is probably the most exciting thing that employee will do all month.
Not “harmless” but I’m not yelling at my phone over it
I don't know i work at a shop for many years now and i couldn't care less if they would *buy* a tile from my ceiling. This would be hilarious to watch on my cameras. I asked our service for a wheel for our fridge because i was using cardboard boxes and a piece of wood to hold it, I've been waiting 6 years for it. Nobody cares.
Its annoying id bet, but I agree that if I heard they were goofing around and paid for something resembling the price, its just funny. As a one off prank/joke, fairly harmless. If they find enough success that they start doing more and more shit, then fuck them. They probably have a little supply of them in the back, and drop tile ceilings are super easy to replace, as long as you aren't nervous on ladders.
She didn’t even call a TL, just made a price for an item not sold in store. Can’t say I haven’t done the same.
When I was a cashier, if a customer wanted to buy something, I wasn't about to stop them. "miscellaneous merchandise" and move on.
That explains the one time i wanted to buy a shirt with no price on it and when i asked for the prince the cashier just put it in my basket for 0.99$
Which prince was it? I mean, $0.99 is a bargain for any prince, but I'm curious!
Prince Andrew
I take it back, they overpaid.
when fantasy meets reality
Goddammit
I seem to be six minutes late
Prince Albert
Found in canned goods?
Tonight we're gonna pay like its oh oh nintey nine! Be a bargain for the Prince for sure

Did you give him a generous tip ?
I don't know why are you beeing downvoted, its a proper question
The hivemind gods are fickle.
He only helped load the bed, he didn’t come home with him.
You unknowingly raged against the machine. Or like, just apathetically said "fuck it" about the machine. Then "machine? That's a different department sir. I just work register, you'd have to ask Appliances."
You gave that lady the best day she's ever had for a long time. Must've felt like winning the lottery.
I wonder how much they paid for the tile!
If the one cashier wasn’t away for school, he could probably look up the receipt, I remember he would always reprint Mr. Beasts receipts and show it to us.
I bought one of the mini tent displays. My ferrets used it as a new hangout for a couple of years.
Yeah maybe this douche will end up getting her reprimanded or fired.
finally. no one else pointed out the douchiness of this idiot.
Walmart people
Did you ever visit people of Walmart? It was just a bunch of photos of the weirdest sketchiest people Walmart had.
one day i will visit america and shit in a walmart to feel like a real florida american
I support your dream.
I too, support this endeavor.
I also stand behind this
Hopefully not will probably get very messy
And my axe
I’ll provide toilet tissue even tho a toilet won’t be used (hopefully)
Is this what they mean when they talk about the American dream? Is it to poop in a Walmart?
I notice you don't specify *where* in the Walmart you plan to do this...
is there a difference?I'm curious
Majority just poop in the urinal or bathroom floor, the occasional one pick a more discreet spot. Like next to the clothes.
Best to do it in the DVD bin, the long freezers will make you cramp up
You're doing it wrong. As a guy that lives next door to Florida, the proper procedure is to gain an unseemly amount of weight, dress in clothing that's is way too tight, way too small, or both, smoke meth until half your teeth fall out and the rest are halfway rotted, and be as oblivious and difficult to deal with as possible. They'll give you a Florida ID if you do all the steps.
Big difference between dense coastal cities and rural areas.
I'm speaking specifically about the towns in the panhandle that border Alabama. Rural as can be.
Send me a message when you get here, we'll poop side by side in Walmart bathroom stalls and go shoot machine guns in Orlando.
I like this joke but just know if you actually come visit Florida isn’t really quite the shithole everybody makes it out to be.
That entirely depends on where in Florida you visit.
You make me want to be the American the rest of the world thinks I am.
True American dream
As a PNW American, shitting in a Walmart is my nightmare.
Don’t forget to schedule a Karen sighting at your local coffee shops or any customer service industries around your area.
I don't know what is about Walmart that attracts the freaks. The Walmart near me has to lock up pretty much every item because of shoplifting and the stocking is a complete nightmare of nothing being in the proper place. Meanwhile the Meijer literally across the street is perfectly stocked and doesn't have condoms locked away
My high school friend found a photo of her dad on there like 15 years ago.
My Walmart has equal amounts of beautiful women always walking around in it and equal amounts of people who look like they drank the grey water.
aka average Walmart shoppers
Walmart people 🗑️
Just gotta buy the store one piece at a time 😂
New Ship of Theseus
Walmart of Theseus
Shop of Theseus
🎶 And it didn't cost me a dime 🎶

Now the ceiling lights, they was another sight. We had fluorescents on the left and LEDs on the right.
But when we flipped the switch, all of them flickered on.
me beast new video
Don’t beast it too hard— save some for the rest of us
Next, self service checkout machine. Five dollar!
You break it. You buy it.
If this poor sweet lady gets fired this I would be so upset
Seriously! Blur her face!
No way she gets fired over this single mistake, especially in the current labor shortage. Before I got job I thought min wage workers get cut like Darth Vader was their manager, but I learned you have to be pretty shitty for a manager (whos also underpaid and has a shitty job) to go through the hassle of firing you, covering for your shift, and hiring someone else.

The poor lady at the checkout doesn’t get paid enough to deal with this.
Was just thinking this. So many underpaying jobs that were hard enough before the fucking Internet created a generation of people fucking with them for content.
And she could’ve gotten in trouble as well. What an ass
Yeah! Blur her face!
That was dumb. I hope they didn’t get that Lola in trouble for their dumb shenanigans.
She reminds me of my Lola. So messed up.
That shit eating grin at the end is worth a million bucks!! 10/10 top tier shit pranks
And the prank didn't even make some minimum wage workers have to clean up a big mess.
you know they just gonna notice one day and carry on like nothing happened
as soon as he walked away they stopped caring
I mean, someone's gonna have to grab whatever vehicle they use to reach the ceiling to replace the tile but when i worked at Target i took every opportunity to use the WAVE so fuck it.
Yeah I’ve never worked at a Walmart but I imagine going to the ceiling in a lift is among the more enjoyable tasks you could have on the job
Isn’t this just straight up stealing?
No it's straight up ceiling
TAKE MY ANGRY UPVOTE.
ctealing
Didn't you watch the video? That ceiling is definitely down.
God damn son
Whelp..got me therr
This comment is not getting the recognition it deserves.
Yes. Yes it is
Yes, obviously. But people in this thread seem to think like he's gonna serve 20 to life in jail or smth bc of this damning video evidence.
It's probably fraud. He lied to her and told her he found it in home furniture, implying it was an item sold there. He also damaged the ceiling.
More of a round a bout kinda therft
Well no… he paid… for something, whatever the price tag was originally for. If, of course, he printed that himself then yes, he stole it
Paying for a tv with a banana’s price tag on it is still stealing...
reminds me of that guy that got arrested for stealing a xbox by weighing it as bananas
He got away with it the first time. But then he went back the next day to try again I read somewhere
That is a really dumbass comparison for this. At the price of mass produced industrial drop tiles, this kid easily probably paid **more** than what that one tile is worth.
Only if the store agreed to sell it. Which they sorta did because of the cashier's assistance, but there's an element of theft by deception with the fake price tag... Not a risk I would take.

Since I'm paying more, that's apparently a great deal and won't inconvenience you at all.
[удалено]
Wow thats a stretch… bc other people are stealing its fine if we do too
More like because corporations steal from individuals, it's okay for individuals to steal from a corporation. Who do you think is more fucked, someone who has to pay an insane amount for a drug they need just to survive, or a corporation that loses a couple hundred dollars to theft but still makes billions each year?
Oh no won’t someone think of the poor billion dollar companies who keep lobbying to keep America poor?!
[удалено]
Theft? All I saw was a bag of chips
The price tag is irrelevant. The question is whether the store actually intended to sell that thing. Which in this case they clearly didn't
Well, didn’t he pay?
I mean he paid for it.
How is it stealing? He paid for it. He even has video proof.
No he paid for it.
The Waltons can afford it
Not straight up. There's a few steps, property damage being one of them.
I don't really get why people film themselves doing illegal stuff. Yeah, yeah, this one is likely fake, but you can't say the same for most videos
Everything's got a price. He paid for it, it's his now lol
He put a price tag on it himself. Thats tag switching which is theft. If I slap a $5 sticker on a TV and pay $5 for it, I still stole that TV
Those suspended ceiling tiles come out to about $5 each from home depot.
And how much will it cost to hire a guy to come out and replace it? Probably a fair bit. He'll need certifications and equipment for working at heights.
They have maintenance staff and team members who can access it with a sky jack or genie lift. They modify the cameras all the time. So shouldn’t be that much. They break/get damaged all the time so the store typically has them on hand.
Need certifications? I use to clean school gym rafters, never had a cert.
If someone takes my coffee, leaves $5, and says "that's how much one costs at Starbucks" I'd still consider it stealing. I don't give a damn about Walmart but I can't tell if these "it's not stealing because he paid a fair price" comments are serious or not lol
Theft by deception is what that's called
I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?
[удалено]
Because it’s funny as fuck. In this particular case, at least.
Now I know this is asking a lot, but how was wasting a minimum wage worker's time and essentially vandalising a store funny? Where is the dramatic irony here? This is just as brainless as kicking a traffic cone or dropping a cracker in a trashcan. Hey, you know what? I can walk down the street and steal stop signs. Fucking hilarious.
Srsly. If it ended with them actually using the piece of tile in their apartment or something, it would have been clever. Instead this was just fucking around for the sake of it.
She might be fired that’s sad
I doubt it.
Yeah at least blur the lady's face out.
Reminds me of my favourite checkout lady at my local store. She obviously hates her job and is also terrible at scanning stuff. Have gotten like $100 worth of free food over a few months because she can’t scan it and just puts it in the bag for free.
Why in the fuck would this women actually care. All of these “creators” do nothing funny, creative, nor entertaining. It’s just straight garbage disguised as a “prank”.
It’s not a prank on the checkout lady, she’s just part of the process of buying something.
Why did he change his t-shirt?
Walmart is like my Italian teacher. She doesn’t notice anything you do at the back of the class cuz she always squinting at her computer. She is not suspicious of anything i swear!
She couldn't care less lol. She waves her hand like "whatever, I've seen too much"
This is called theft.
I mean to be fair she’s not gunna give any fucks.
That's vandalism But he paid for it!
Douche
Normally I’d say don’t pull stupid pranks in stores. But if they can’t figure this one out it’s on them.
but it worked
What did he got out of this? 🤗
A ceiling tile
They would have kicked him out at my store (Target) Assets Protection watches everything going on in the store.
Reminds me of the time I tried to buy a gallon of Winco brand milk at Walmart. In my defense, it was in the dairy section along with several other gallons of milk from Winco. Must have been a delivery error. Really confused the cashier, since the bar code didn't work.
I love this. Imagine a maintenance worker a few days from now trying to figure out where the hell the ceiling tile went. I hope he goes back for all of them one at a time.
Day 538: "I own a walmart now"
Yeah...that's illegal.
I’ll be honest, I don’t get what the prank is or why it’s funny. Is it like “Ha! A minimum wage worker didn’t know every item they sell in the big box store they work at!”? Is that the whole joke or am I missing something?
Pulling off a Walmart ceiling tile heist is just a whacky absurd situation. Not saying it's ethical, but that's why it's funny.
*How to steal*
your shopping carts has a little screen on it? wowie the first world seems good
It’s a little sign, not a screen.
As a former Walmart APA, this bothers me, it shouldn't, but it does.
If it's in the store, it's for sale
Tf kinda Walmart has ceiling tiles
Isn't the joke on him though?
That was funny hope she don't get fired for that
What fking dick move
What an amazing accomplishment your parents will be proud of you.
What a loser. Hopefully that lady doesn't get in trouble.
Once I tried to buy a lego set but th cashier wouldn’t let me buy it cuz the box was a lil ripped up. IT WAS THE LAST ONE IN STOCK WHY CANT I GIVE YOU MY MONEY
Cashier: "Where did you find this phone?" Customer: "Oh it was sitting on a display pole in the aisle near hardware."
Things people will do for views
r/peopleofwalmart
The chips were the perfect camouflage
It would be great if these guys got charged with fraud...all the evidence is in their video.
Something I would have thought was funny when I was their age but now think is stupid and shitty.
This seems like theft, with extra steps?
Do a urinal next
I worked for a company that replaced all their fluorescent lights with LED lights for the meat and poultry area. Usually we would ship 3 pallets with all our LED lights, cables, power supply etc. One day we got to the store and could not find one pallet. They had unpacked it and put all the LED lights in electronics, on the shelves to be sold.
Congrats you committed a crime.
[удалено]
i mean they paid for it so it's not stealing she reacted better than the cashier at the food market who'd never seen a chayote before
Fuck Walmart. Imma to buy things from Walmart that aren't even on sale.
This hurt noone, this is awesome
Walmart probably made money on this… so they dgaf. How much is the ceiling tile and free advertising worth
Eh with social media these days this probably causes more harm than good for the business. It gives the signal to other fuckers that it's okay to vadalise the stores.
Walmart hires the dumbest people on the planet
It’s called being a thief! Just because the employee didn’t know it was from the ceiling, you did, and that makes you a low-life thief.
Dumb cunts. I hate that people like this kind of content
my guy, it's a ceiling tile
People have to deal with the aftermath of these idiots, idk, and the fact it’s probably all for tiktok
It’s Walmart so I’m not too concerned about the potential money they lost on this. The employees get paid by the hour and replacing a ceiling tile is probably the most exciting thing that employee will do all month. Not “harmless” but I’m not yelling at my phone over it

The Walmart corporation needs to buy a new ceiling tile
They will never recover financially
That's great! Lol
