There were a number of bomb scares in a couple of stores, actually in one district it was happening more than once a day and when it became a daily occurrence they stopped telling us about the calls. It was an un-needed interruption for the associates and ruined the shopping experience for the customers. I am sure glad that a real bomb didn’t eventually make its way into the store.
Some stores have no loss prevention. Some don’t even have a rent-a-cop.
When it gets to the point of not telling anyone that a bomb scare is being called into the store it is bad. Okay, I know that some dope might want to cause a problem and make a fake call, but I cannot see why the store would chance any of it.
I also have no idea of why I was never called back when I called the corporate office to find out how they could allow something like that to happen. Okay I was stupid. I stayed in the store and didn’t let it bother me.
Okay the stores didn’t blow up, but if it did, boy, what a mess.
Packages go into the stores all the time. At the customer service desk and in customer carts because many of the people greeters do not stop the people bringing them in or do not see them, I’ve stopped some, I am sure not all of them.
Back packs are carried in by associates and by customers every day in some stores.
I wonder if they have a no hire list for terrorists, one like they put me on because I asked too many questions about company policy and ethics.
It is as easy as can be to bring anything into a Walmart and leave it behind.
In most stores you can walk right into the back stockrooms and maybe, and that is a big maybe, someone will ask about it.
Seriously, it is a terrorist’s heaven. After all who is going to find out?
I worry. Not all of the time. I forgot about it for a while until I started to hear about the bombings again.
Considering Lee Scott will not answer my questions about this why doesn’t someone else ask him? Possibly he has an answer?
