    I wonder if Walmart is taking other steps to increase worker safety and well-being or mostly just the one that creates a massive Dark Knight-style network of cameras?

    At our (Canadian) Walmart, I’ve seen so many cameras set up, you’d think you were at a casino! I’m talking cameras in the dry good isle, FFS! And we have an airport style security gate as well as uniformed security at the store exits.

    And to think that they trust customers enough to be their own cashier, yet treat them like criminals while they shop, is madness.

      This here’s the primary reason I shop there as little as possible.

    I wonder if Walmart CEOs realize that they too are “CEOs”…

    There’s nothing noble/altruistic about this, guaranteed.
