Many people responded to the question by sharing their experiences with the supermarket chain. “comes down hard”Tim’s surprising answer to the question of thieves was:
“In most Walmart stores, there aren’t nearly as many working security cameras as they would like you to think there are,”He revealed.
“Most of those dark camera “bubbles” on the walls and ceiling are empty. They move the cameras they have around to different bubbles now and then to keep people guessing.”
But, the ex-cop said that using this blind spot in your favor could get you in serious trouble.
He said that Walmart’s prices were low because of their profit margins. That profit margin is severely affected by theft losses.
