37. Remember that half the "employees" in a Wal*mart

Sun Nov 17, 2013, 09:47 PM

Nov 2013

are actually contractors stocking the shelves and not really Wal*Mart employees. Try asking one of them for help and they will give you a blank stare.

So it wouldn't actually be to hard for a person to dress in a way to look like the official book sticker contractor. These guys did it.

Or a person could put a bunch of the books in his shopping cart, and continue shopping in other parts of the store while discreetly applying the stickers, then return the books to the shelf before going through check-out.

But of course that wouldn't be nice.
