- If you are not a shoplifter, and you've paid for your merchandise, and you still get beeped by the anti-theft system on your way out of the store, take these actions:
1. IGNORE the beep. It doesn't apply to you anyway, since you're not shoplifting.
2. IGNORE the Wal-Mart employees calling after you: "Sir!" or "Ma'am!" They must not be talking to you anyway, since you paid for all your stuff.
3. KEEP WALKING towards your car. Wal-Mart has a "no pursue" policy, so they cannot legally stop you from calmly walking to your car and driving away. Most of the time, this will be the conclusion of your Wal-Mart walkout event.
4. REPLY to any direct verbal challenge (like if they tap you on the shoulder or run around to get in front of you) with: "No thanks. I don't mind my merchandise not being deactivated."
5. THREATEN TO CALL THE POLICE if a Wal-Mart employee grabs your arm or otherwise physically assaults you. Tell the employee you are going to press assault charges against them. The entire thing will be recorded on Wal-Mart's parking lot security cameras.
6. REFUSE to play their mind game by producing a receipt or otherwise submitting to their illegal search. Once you pay for the merchandise, it is now yours, not theirs, and Wal-Mart has no right to search through your private property without a search warrant.
7. As a last resort, if they continue to hound you, demand, "Are you accusing me of a crime?" When they answer no, reply, "Then I will be on my way." Keep on walking.
I've noticed these workers consider themselves to be the "law" in walmart. Kiss my :o0 posers. :))

They do go on the power trip....I have been one to keep walking, knowing I've paid for my stuff....seems sumone always stops anywho and I jus keep going......but if they do come up to me, I let them do whatever....I know I'll be walking out anywho...jus how I am I guess
