Attention Wallmart Shoppers:

“1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in peoples' carts when they aren't looking.

2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.

4. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares, and see what happens.

5. Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay away.

6. Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you'll invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.

8. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

9. Look right into the security camera; use it as a mirror, and pick your nose.

10. While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti- depressants are.

11. Dart around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.

12. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna look" using different size funnels.

13. Hide in a clothing rack; when people browse through, say "PICK ME!"

14. When an announcement comes over the loudspeaker, assume the fetal position and screaNO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"


(And; last, but not least!)

15. Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while; and, then, yell, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper inhere!"

“LOL, i've actually done #1...another one i've done is get a football from the toy department and started up a game of touch football in the aisle”

“I have tried number 13. Unfortunatly I scared the #&%!$ out of a lady and I was thrown out of the store.

We would always ride the bikes down aisles”

“Some times at Home Pee Po I will be sneeky byhind some buddy and my daddy will say "ther is a big dog byhind you" and when they turnd around I sayed "boo!" and they peed ther pannys! BOL!”

“We've done #11 before. That was fun!”

“LOL! You guys are funny.”

“When I worked for Walmart as an optician I would sometimes inhale the helium used to fill balloons and make announcements on the intercom.”

“Lol!”

“I have been tempted to do #8. Just not at a Wal-Mart.”

“LMFAO!!!”

“When I was a rascally teen, after walking in the woods with a couple friends, we picked off several handfulls of those annoying burrs/sticktights or whatever you call all those underbrush seeds that stick to clothing. We went to walmart with them and proceeded to try on a bunch of different gloves, each time covertly slipping some of the sticktights in the gloves. We probably ruined at least 20 pair of gloves.

Ahh, good times...”

“My stoopid boss actually did #6 when some rain leaked through a window.

Here's another: Attach a $5 bill to some fishing line. Hide in the clothes and throw the bill out in the aisle. When a shopper tries to pick it up, pull the line and move the bill. See how many shoppers will chase it!”

“A man suspected of shoplifting goods from an Atascocita Wal-Mart — including diapers and a BB gun — had begged employees to let him up from the blistering pavement in the store's parking lot where he was held, shirtless, before he died Sunday, a witness said.

An autopsy for the man, identified as Stacy Clay Driver, 30, of Cleveland, was scheduled for Monday, but officials said results probably would be delayed by a wait for toxicology tests.

Driver's family, as well as one emergency worker, are questioning company procedure, including whether Wal-Mart workers administered CPR after they realized he needed medical attention.

When Atascocita Volunteer Fire Department paramedics arrived, Driver was in cardiac arrest, said Royce Worrell, EMS director. Worrell said Monday he heard from investigators that Wal-Mart employees administered CPR to Driver, but he was not sure that happened.

"When we got there, the man was facedown (in cardiac arrest) with handcuffs behind his back," Worrell said. "That's not indicative of someone given CPR."

Houston lawyer Charles Portz was outside the store at 6626 FM 1960 East when employees chased Driver into the parking lot Sunday afternoon.

Portz said three employees caught Driver, who twisted and turned until his shirt came off and he broke free and ran.

"They chased him right past me," said Portz, who followed the chase, then saw four or five employees hold Driver on the ground. Driver was pleading with them to let him up, Portz said. "The blacktop was just blistering," he said.

The high temperature at Bush Intercontinental Airport Sunday was 96 degrees.

Portz said one of the Wal-Mart employees had Driver in a choke hold as other employees pinned his body to the ground.

"He was begging, 'Please, I'm burning, let me up,' " Portz said of Driver. "He'd push himself up off the blacktop, like he was doing a push-up.

"About 30 people were saying, 'Let him up, it's too hot,' " Portz said. He said another employee brought a rug for Driver to lie on, but one of those holding Driver said he was fine where he was. "After about five minutes, (Driver) said, 'I'm dying, I can't breathe, call an ambulance,' " Portz said.
[...]
After Driver was handcuffed, Portz said one employee had his knee on the man's neck and others were putting pressure on his back.

"Finally the guy stopped moving" and the employees got off him, Portz said. "They wouldn't call an ambulance.

"I looked at him and said, 'Hey, he's not breathing,' but one guy told me (Driver) was just on drugs. I told them his fingernails were all gray, and finally they called an ambulance."

Martin said investigators have no indication that Driver was intoxicated.

“That's messed up!”

“yes he did wrong by stealing but to die while being held on hot asphalt...yikes

wonder if those employees will be charged?”

“It sounds like besides the hot ground that they crushed him (suffocated him) with their knees on his back and pressing on his neck. All that over some diapers and a bb gun. Ridiculous. I hope they do press charges on the employees. They sound like a bunch of vigilantes.”

“I'll bet that attorny/eye witness couldn't hand out business cards fast enough.”

“Crime doesn't pay.”

“your right sarge, I hope the ones that caused his death pay for it”

“... predictable ...”

“They should be able to convict on manslaughter, at the very least...”

“All you Buddha wanna-bes out there should take note that Karma will getcha! It's part of the natural order of the universe, so you should be proud that this guy's bad mojo got him killed.”

“No, some badass morons got him killed. The kind that think that they are above the law. The thief should have been held for due process of law. No more. No less.”

“Does Buddha answer to man's laws? No! He answers to Karma man. No more. No less.”

“sarge, it is predictable that you think that way. More of your Christian attitude coming forth eh”

“take note that Karma will getcha! It's part of the natural order of the universe,

Never a truer word sarge, hopefully your kindness and understanding will all pay off for you someday.”

“He's just rocking the boat. Sarge is playing with everyone's heads again. Yawn, not biting here...”

““He's just rocking the boat. Sarge is playing with everyone's heads again. Yawn, not biting here...” - Treebeard

Are you full?”

“Being handcuffed even on a hot parking lot is not going to cause a heart attack in a healthy human being. To say that the store employees are resonsible for this death is bs.”

“The guy was a druggie and a thief.

He, and people like him, are the cause of high-prices.”

“bbw, i'm sure the guy in this situation already had an elevated heart rate from the situation, he was then exposed to extreme heat and had his airways cut off.”

“Had his airway cut off? How was he able to speak? You are reading things into this.”

“whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?”

“WalMart is bad, mmmkay.”

““whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?”

Karma takes care of that.”

“shoot first, ask questions later.”

“Should have tazered him instead!
LOL”

“WK, that can only apply if they are breaking into your house. If they fall backwards grab them and push them through the window”

“I sure hope Bison doesn't see this. You know how he is about stealing. ;-)”

“lol”

“Some punk knocked over all the garbage cans in our alley. Should I hunt him/her/them down and shoot em execution style?

Naw, I think I'll just go pick em up.”

“Ha Ha!”

“I love these guys that trumpet law and order...



...until some good ole fashioned vigilatism sets in. Good Americans! Like a bunch of Klansman patting each other on the back after a good lynching! Ha! You tools are a freaking riot!”

“He, and people like him, are the cause of high-prices.”

LOL”

“cause you know, walmart is SOOOOOOO expensive! Who knew child slave labor would cost so much?”

“I am not advocating what happened. I am just telling you the nature of the universe as seen through the eyes of Buddha, the great Enlightenerrer.”

“But, that being said, I am not not advocating what happened also, too.”

“Buddha? I thought the oompa-loompas were responsible for all that!”

“Sounds like he went into shock from the heat because of the pain, or possibly he had a very quick heat stroke. Laying flat on 150* pavement with no shirt would have skyrocketed his core temp very quickly.

I bet Wal-Mart's legal department is having a heat stroke right now. This thing screams "law suit".”

“I think we can at least all agree that this guy was treated fairly, save perhaps the fact that he was burned and killed by the sun's heat absorbed by the pavement. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Imagine if you saw these guys on video capturing this guy in the spring. You'd all be like "Yeah! Go get him!" Unfortunately, (or perhaps fortunately for civilization) the sun had other plans for this man.”
