 do you have any idea what the disclaimer sign actually means? 
 and how security in places like that work? 
 (i'm guessing a huge no, otherwise you wouldn't keep coming up with crap 
 like this)

 you DO care enough, because you still hold a grudge against them.  And 
 the reason the shoplifting is low enough to keep prices down is BECAUSE 
 of the steps they take to reduce them - the still lose thousands monthly 
 from theft - how much more would it be if people like you could wander 
 in with your empty bags which mysteriously fill up as you leave?

 you're what we back home call a born complainer.  There is no such 
 thinig for you as not being annoyed in the process of seperating you 
 from your money, otherwise something so mundane as the walmart greeter 
 wouldn't even be noticed by you, let alone annoy you.  If you had 
 nothing to complain about, you'd be the first one to complain at the 
 lack of things to complain about.

 yeah, that'll happen 
 people will STOP using walmart - i mean, all the stores in winnipeg 
 hardly have anyone wandering around them buying stuff these days, don't 
 they. 
  
 I think they can cope without you, or the others that have something to 
 hide from the greeters and security staff.
