Walmart
Wrongly Accused of Shoplifting and Hit With Civil Demand

I was walking out of the local Walmart in Medina OH when a man jumped in front of me and said stop we need to talk about some unpaid items... Mind you I just left the checkout line and spent over $90 on things that I needed for my children. I also had my children with me. He had me go in his little camera room, then two other people followed. I showed him my receipt for all the things I just purchased. Well underneath a carrier was two items that were indeed unpaid for I said oh I am sorry can I please pay for these now? His response to that was no and can I see your I.D. He began to write me up... I told him over and over that it was a mistake and he said that the items were pushed under the carrier on purpose. The total amount of the two item came to about $12 and some change. They told me that this was a warning, wrote me up and then I was able to leave. I wanted the items so I paid for my things and left. A few weeks later I got a letter in the mail it was from a lawyers' office and walmart has a civil demand of $200 from me. I did not shoplift and I paid for my things... I think this was really f*ked up. Not to mention everytime I am at the store I feel uncomfortable At one point I was spending over $700 a month at that store. I'm sure that they don't care they are a multi million dollar company. Also this man that was completely heartless is in the middle of a big lawsuit... Will never shop at walmart again.
