(26,109 posts)39. Full time workers, ie, those that consistently are given 32 hours/week, are given a bonus
at the end of the year if shrinkage is kept below a certain percentage. So, yes, workers will do surprising things in order to get that bonus of a few hundred bucks, or the chance at full-time hours where they would receive that bonus. Of course, management bonuses are much more. The manager of the store I worked at received $30,000. This was 1985. Don't know what that translates into, given today's inflation.

Sounds like the guy was resisting arrest. I saw a couple of WalMart incognito security officers

All theft adds to the cost of items we buy. They all should be arrested, if caught. nt

He was resisting arrest. Resisting arrest by two Walmart employees and a contract security guard.

And not only that, but for a company which probably has a life insurance policy on them...

Nothing in the article says the security guard was an off duty policeman.
