Walmart Anti Theft Scanners

So coming to yall today wth something really weird that I'm not sure where else to ask. There's two Walmart that every time I walk out of I seem to set off one of those theft alarms. The first time I was with my mom and they asked me to empty my pockets... obviously didn't have anything but my mom was super embarrassed. That walmart I've set off the alarm three times; twice when I walk through the scanner thing then just now it went off when I was walking out the door. The second walmart I set off the one time I went to it. I don't set off any other walmart location's anti theft things, and I don't set them off at Target or HEB (huge chain grocery store down here). Wtf is going on? Did they label me a shoplifter some how for some reason?.. been trying to just avoid those locations but it makes me not want to go to walmart... but it's freakin walmart... sometimes ya just need something from walmart...

 

I've read before that certain cell phones can do it, but not sure which ones. Maybe go in again without your cell phone and check it out.

 

Can do. I just think it's odd that it's only those two locations.. since it started happening, I've frequented the Walmart in the town I go to school in 6 hours away from where I am now and no issues. It also doesn't go off when I walk in

 

Did you buy a new wallet lately? I was having the same problem as t local store. The store employee told me check my wallet. It still had the anti thief chip in it. Problem solved.

 

Nope had it 4+ years.. maybe it never set one off till now?

 

I had that happen to me years ago with a pair of old navy jeans. There was a security tag between the pocket and jeans.

 

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Wallet problems

 

My wife does the same thing at Walmart. We can't figure it out either. I think she has a chip in her head from all the alien experiments. It's the only thing I can think of to explain some of the crazy.

 

You won't see me emptying my pockets at the entrance of Walmart.

You can follow me to my truck, write down my plate number and call the police if you want.

I'd stop shoplifting if I were you.

 

You must have a security tag on you somewhere, in my town all the theft scanners are turned off except for Home Depot's

 

I have been to Roswell a few times this year

Edit: I was being too snappy @ the internet

 

I can't believe I have to state this, but it was sarcasm.

 

I have noticed that the Walmart I typically go to that their alarm goes off randomly. People will look around confused. In lieu of the alarms they'll post a greeter. The Walmart greeters sometimes ask to see my receipt when I'm departing the store. I smile and say "No thanks!" and continue walking. Haven't been stopped yet.

 

Yeah that was it, came home and last time I rummaged through all my clothes but didn't check my shoes

 

Its hard to tell over text never know when someone wants to parent ya on the internet hahaha

 

So you found it?! Hahaha

 

You've obviously mastered the art of "kiestering"

 

Yeah a little white tag thingy. It was slipped in this crack right next to the tongue. I was beginning to think the government was after me or some shit

 

Did you seriously just find one in your shoes?

This reminds me I put one of those tags in my brothers shoe one time years ago. I forgot to ask if he ever got harassed
