A FORMER Walmart employee has revealed that he has had people steal from the store.
TikToker Brandon worked as a door greeter and was responsible for checking customers’ receipts on the way out of the store.

Brandon recalls instances where he checked the receipts of women who were clearly looking for baby items.
“When I checked the receipt and saw Pampers or baby food” [in the cart] that was not on the receipt, I just said ‘have a nice day’.”
‘Why? Because they are expensive and children are generally expensive.’
Brandon also stated that at his Walmart store — and within the company in general — there was no reward for catching people stealing.
He did say that the asset protection staff — who provide security in stores, according to the Walmart website — would be “pissed” at times.
‘But did I care? No,” Brandon said.
“Because I was making $11.50 at the time.”
The video has been viewed more than 2 million times, with some commentators calling Brandon a “hero.”
“You probably got fired for this, but your sir is a gem. Some people struggle and I’m not saying stealing is okay, but you’re an angel,” one person wrote.
Others were quick to mention the high prices of baby food and formula.
“A can of formula for my baby costs $44. There’s no reason it should cost that much,” wrote a TikToker.
“If every person who walked into Walmart stole something, they would still be making billions of dollars,” said another.
The Sun has asked both Brandon and Walmart for comment.
