Walmart had at least eight more shootings in July 2026 with one of them fatal where a suspect who had allegedly fired one or more shots and the officer saw him exit with a gun. There were at least six more injuries as a result of the shootings, including two officers shot before the fatal shooting of a suspect, one that was self-inflicted in a different accidental shooting and an employee during a fight between two other people, and at least one business and a car were hit by gunfire. One of the shootings was from a man carrying a Bible who yelled "You better call the cops, I’m crazy," he was later tackled and arrested by a deputy while no longer carrying his gun.
There was also a report of a shooting from last March which was not widely reported at the time, showing that news reports of major crimes no longer cover the biggest ones reliably; they could never cover the smaller crimes, since there are too many. In addition to the person killed in a shooting there were two more bodies found on their property, one employee who collapsed at work and died, and three people killed in accidents, including one in a submerged vehicle in a pond on their property, for a total of at least seven dead last month.
There were also numerous follow up stories raising major doubts about a Mississippi shooting at Walmart in June by police Officer Hunter Foster who allegedly shot and killed an African American toddler because he suspected the mother and her friend of shoplifting, possibly of diapers. The alleged justification for the shooting is that the suspects may have tried to run him down and were driving towards him; however, some evidence, including the autopsy of the toddler indicates that he shot the toddler through the passenger window, which means he was to the right of the car, not in front of it where he would be in danger of being run over. Evidence has since come out that the same officer exaggerated the threat from another car in a similar incident to justify another shooting, and that a few days before shooting the toddler he made a racially offensive remark about an African American police officer. Foster was placed on paid administrative leave two days after the shooting and still hasn't been charged with a crime, despite a growing amount of evidence being made public and a large demand that he be fired and prosecuted, along with major protests in the area about racist police, which isn't limited to this officer. One editorialist has written that police are quick to use excessive force and even kill people for minor thefts to increase Walmart's profits; and there must be dozens of additional reports of excessive force by police in past Walmart Crime Reports, many of which must be minorities.
There were also close to if not more than half a dozen additional gun crimes reported at Walmart, including the arrest of an armed murder suspect, although the murder took place elsewhere, threats to shoot up Walmart which caused a couple panics, a couple domestic violence or road rage threats, stolen guns, and one person threatening people with a gun where they also found AR-15 guns in her car.
There are numerous stories about Walmart's efforts to prevent theft, mostly by increasing technology and spying on us; but perhaps the most important thing is what they don't say! They don't remind us that their theft problems skyrocketed as a result of their corner cutting and cutting down on employees, often replacing them with self-checkout. Nor do most of these stories mention the fact that in addition to catching real thieves they're also increasing the amount of false accusations, or even when thieves are real there's still a growing number of extreme responses, like the killing of a child already mentioned because of suspicion of stealing diapers. There are some efforts at local levels, either town or state, to regulate self-checkout due to problems with tax payers picking up the bill for higher crime rates, increased risk to the public or other reasons, which Walmart and other large corporations fight tooth and nail, even if they make some cutbacks of self-checkout when it impacts profits. They don't seem to care if others pay the price for their absurd policies. In the past there were often stories about employees who admitted they didn't want to be too harsh on poor desperate people, especially those that can't afford to raise children. Were these employees replaced by more harsh ones going to extremes?
Big Brother is watching you!
In addition to the people found dead on their property there were also at least four dogs that died, most if not all, from being left in hot cars too long and almost a dozen more rescued before they died. There was also a man chased down by police after wielding a chainsaw in their parking lot, to the best of my knowledge he wasn't wearing a leather-face mask and it wasn't in Texas.
In addition to the three people killed in accidents there were close to one and a half dozen other major crashes, including one where a care was split in two without serious injuries, a crash in a vehicle driven by a nine-year-old, and another where a squad car crashed into a tree, pedestrians hit, sometimes in hit and runs, road rage incidents, chases, carjackings, and an incident where an argument turned into a virtual bumper car crash with two women intentionally crashing into several cars including each other and many other automobile crashes crimes or other incidents. There was also a truck fire and at least ten more fires mostly within stores, but including one brush fire and two at distribution centers, at least one, probably more, were arson, with one caused by lightning, with most of the remaining ones under investigation.
Walmart also had at least two major stabbings, one of a customer another of a police officer trying to detain a shoplifter and two other robberies with knives or of knives. It's not uncommon for armed robberies to steal the weapons they need to conduct the robberies.
There have been well over a dozen if not over two dozen different Walmart recalls of products with minimal coverage of most of them, so people buying defective products almost never know it, including lettuce linked to cyclosporiasis outbreak, dressers that fall forward putting children at risk Hand Warmers that burn people, and much more. In addition to recalls where they are willing to refund money to those that know about it, there are an enormous number of complaints for many other things they're reluctant to take responsibility for, including oil filters which one woman claims was already used, products with unreliable weights, items with odd contaminants in it, one woman that thought she might have seen something that looked like eyes, although she couldn't be certain, reports that Walmart AI catches false "Made in the USA" claims, which have been common at Walmart for decades, but doesn't inform customers unless it impacts profits and much more. They're also facing complaints and lawsuits because they fire people for religious reasons or for reporting racial or sexual harassment claims, which means blaming victims ir true, and many other lawsuits.
I've been tempted to climb on Counters and yell to warn other customers about absurd corporate policies before, but I've never done it; perhaps I should, which one person did.
Is there some reason why people aren't supposed to go to Walmart naked? Apparently they can get arrested for that.
Have you ever accidentally left chicken on the counter out of the refrigerator for six months? Apparently, in some cases, they don't mold or go bad because of modern preservatives, but this shocks some people who conclude the preservatives might be as bad, if not worse, than rotten meat, since it's less noticeable, and now buy from local farmers.
When Walmart sells bear spray or other products used to attract hunting victims that often use urine from animals, should they be surprised when occasionally people take them off the shelf, spray them all over the store before leaving? Have you noticed the smell of animal urine at your Walmart or other store?
When pigs get loose and people call the cops to handle them those cops could be damned either way. This happened at Walmart but it may not have been as bad as a previous incident where the pig outsmarted them and cops kept falling down turning themselves into laughing stocks, and if they hurt the pigs that may be worse for their reputation.
I can't rule out the possibility that there have been stories about some pigs outsmarting other pigs for some reason.
Strange things happen at Walmart!
In 2006 Wake Up Walmart did a study, "Is Walmart Safe?" based on incidents in 2004, (PDF) about crime at Walmart which showed that it increased when Walmarts opened up and that crime was higher at Walmart than at other retailers. Since then Walmart Shootings began compiling a list of gun related incidents at Walmart and demonstrated that they have a large number of them, including on average more than one shooting per week somewhere in the country; now after counting them for several years that average is over two per week. In January of 2014 another study, "Rolling Back Prices and Raising Crime Rates?" provided additional statistical research indicating that Walmart might be contributing to higher crime rates or at least a slowing of the decline in crime. The study found that. “on average, communities with Walmarts had 17 more property crimes and two more violent crimes per 10,000 people than those communities without Walmarts.” I reviewed this more in Walmart’s crime problem, Rolling Back Safety more than prices? where I explained that although this study is helpful they could have done better with additional data that is available and I reviewed some of that. I also added my own review about why I think that Walmart policies have been contributing to higher crime in a previous blog, Walmart high crime rate continues un-investigaterd and have provided additional information under the author tag Walmart Crime Watch.
Over the past ten to fifteen years Walmart has been increasing the use of self-checkout, and this has corresponded with a steady increase in shoplifting as well as false accusations, yet they refuse to even discuss returning to the use of cashiers. What most people seem to have forgotten was that when they first did this it was on a small scale as an experiment, presumably to see if it worked before expanding it, which would actually make sense, if they slowed it down or reversed it once they saw how many problems it caused. But that's not what they did. Instead the more problems they had the more they increased use of self-checkout, often claiming that instead of hiring more cashiers again, which worked previously, they resorted to more technology and hiring more security to catch people skip scanning or at other forms of theft. This has led to massive amounts of false accusations, in addition to the real thefts, and when the thefts are real, and they get caught, they often resort to violence, so it endangers both Walmart workers and customers.
Now they're acting as if the rise of shoplifting is happening for some inexplicable reason and even asking police to help them solve this problem, as if it wasn't a problem created by their own policies, and most of the media or politicians aren't pointing out the obvious. This is resulting in a massive increase in arrests, court expenses, and prison expenses, which Walmart isn't paying for, effectively meaning we are subsidizing Walmart's high crime problems with tax money. There's no official explanation for why they're behaving so foolishly; but, since this is a for profit corporation it's not hard to speculate about the most likely reason for it, that they're increasing profits for those making the decisions. But, a large portion of the money saved by not hiring cashiers is spent on technology or security to catch thieves; and, if they had to pay the increase in police, courts and prison costs that would reduce or eliminate their savings, and they would almost certainly reverse their policies, because they wouldn't be increasing profits with self-checkout.
This doesn't even include the risk to the health of both their customers and workers when the worst thieves turn violent, in some cases possibly even shooting and killing people. Every year since 2016 has seen more than a hundred shootings at Walmart, and more often than not, this is increasing, while they ignore the causes of their crime problems. These self-checkouts are also making it easier for thieves to put "skimmers" that collect credit or debit card information from customers that enable them to use their cards illegally, but, once again, the customers are stuck with the tab, not Walmart, so they're doing little or nothing to stop this, even though it's a direct result of their bad policies. And furthermore, courts have ruled that Walmart has a right to detain customers even when they have no reason to believe they're shoplifting, if they simply refuse to show receipts, as a matter of principle. At times some lawyers have claimed they need probable cause to ask to see receipts, which, if a customer goes directly from the register, sometimes even when there's a cashier, to the door they can't possibly have. So this means Walmart is under no obligation to assume their paying customers are innocent until proven guilty, which should raise major constitutional questions!
Stacy Mitchell has also compiled a list of other studies about Walmart and how they impact society, Key Studies on Big-Box Retail & Independent Business. To the best of my knowledge Walmart has done as little as they seem to get away with, often relying on rhetoric that isn't backed up with action, when it comes to addressing any of their critics concerns, including crime. One of the responses they’ve come up with is what they call "Restorative Justice" which gives first time shoplifters a chance to avoid being arrested or any criminal record if they take an on line course which costs $400 up front or $500 in payments, plus perhaps, reparations. This has been part of the privatization process and often denies suspects of the due process or access to a lawyer, perhaps even intimidating and extorting from some people that might not even be guilty. Walmart seems to be trying to find a way to turn crime into a profit making situation instead of looking for the most effective ways to reduce it. Making Change at Walmart is asking If you or someone you know has gone through @Walmart's "Restorative Justice" program for first-time suspected shoplifters, send us a DM. 03/30/2017 to ensure that it isn’t doing more harm than good. I did my own review of this program as well at Walmart’s “Restorative Justice” Endangers Public Without Reducing Crime. The following are a list of incidents that occurred in July 2026. According to the "Is Walmart Safe?" the average store in their sampling had 250 incidents per year indicating that these are only a fraction of the crime reports at Walmart, and presumably, the ones most likely to make the news on the internet nationwide. This isn't statistically representative, as the 2006 or the "Rolling Back Prices and Raising Crime Rates?" study or some of the studies cited by Stacy Mitchell; but it does provide some additional information that may help recognize how many problems there are at Walmart.

Mississippi Cop Kills Black Infant For Walmart’s Profits—Justice for Kohen Wiley! 07/08/2026
On June 14, police shot into a vehicle driving out of a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Mississippi, killing a one-year-old Black baby named Kohen Wiley. This was despite his mother pleading to cops that there was a baby in the car. The police suspected his mother’s friend, who was also in the car, had stolen a package of diapers from the store.
This shooting is a crystal clear example of exactly whose interests the police protect under capitalism: multibillion-dollar corporations. Walmart made over $700 billion in profits last year, while tens of millions face poverty—and they will readily call the cops to defend a package of Huggies with lethal force.
This horrific act of police violence is clearly a racially motivated killing, an all-too-familiar occurrence under capitalism. In 2020, police murdered George Floyd over a counterfeit bill, sparking a new wave of the massive Black Lives Matter movement against systemic racism and oppression, which spread globally. Fighting racism in Trump’s age of reaction will require nothing less.
Trump’s stoking of racist divisions is monstrous beyond belief—who could imagine a sitting president posting an AI video of Obama and his family depicted as apes? His attacks on the Black working class have been devastating, from the firing of thousands of federal workers, the erasure of DEI programs, and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. All of this further normalizes racism and the second-class status of Black people in the US. Complete article

White House Rages After Embarrassing Trump Story Exposed 07/10/2026
The White House has gone into full defense mode after Donald Trump was found taking credit for price cuts that had nothing to do with him.
On Monday, the 80-year-old president posted on Truth Social that Walmart would be “lowering prices, by a lot, at my Administration’s request,” including cutting the cost of beef by 15 percent as part of the country’s 250th birthday celebrations.
Trump took a victory lap, praising the announcement as a “huge deal” for millions of Americans suffering through a cost-of-living crisis. The president’s second term has been dogged by high food prices, despite Trump making lowering them a central pledge of his 2024 campaign.
However, a Walmart spokesperson told The Bulwark that the company’s price cuts had already been in place at its stores for a week before Trump tried to suggest he had convinced the country’s biggest retailer to implement them. Complete article

Ex-North Olmsted Walmart employee says he was fired after religious pilgrimage 07/10/2026
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- An ex-employee of a Cleveland-area Walmart is suing the business, saying he was fired for making a religious pilgrimage that caused him to miss work.
On Thursday, the former employee, Abdul Haq, filed a suit alleging religious discrimination against the North Olmsted Walmart on Brookpark Road in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas.
Haq, who worked for the retailer from April 2024 to November 2024, is a Muslim who was fired after going on Umrah, a spiritual trip to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, according to the suit.

Walmart didn’t accept Haq’s paperwork, which his bosses said was unnecessary, his suit said. He tried to file a second religious accommodation request with Walmart, but the store didn’t respond, he said. Complete article

'They're brothers': Brother of 'Bad Santa' arrested after alleged lewd act at Fla. Walmart 07/10/2026
POLK COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — The brother of Polk County's accused "Bad Santa" is behind bars after allegedly exposing himself and masturbating in a Walmart while a mother shopped with her 5-year-old daughter, according to Sheriff Grady Judd.
The suspect, identified as 62-year-old David Hicks, was arrested after a Crime Stoppers tip helped deputies locate him following a two-day search. Hicks is the younger brother of Thomas Hicks, the 68-year-old Lakeland man dubbed "Bad Santa" after his arrest during Polk County's "Operation Child Protector VIII" child predator sting earlier this year.
According to Judd, the incident unfolded inside a Walmart when Hicks allegedly followed a mother and her daughter through the store.
"We've got a senior citizen that went into Walmart, stalked a mother and a five-year-old little girl, and then when mother was distracted shopping in one of the displays, he exposes himself in her presence," Judd said. Complete article

A Michigan Resident Noticed Something Was Off About Her Walmart Mustard. It Sparked a Massive Legal Debate 07/10/2026
A viral video accusing a mustard brand of shortchanging customers raises questions about what companies can legally get away with in their packaging.
A viral video about a packaging discrepancy has consumers alleging fraud—but the law may view it differently.
After picking up an order from Walmart, Michigan resident Krysten Melville noticed something odd: The two bottles of Frank’s yellow mustard didn’t feel the same. She weighed them both on a kitchen scale to confirm her suspicions. One came in at 1 pound, 5.6 ounces—and the other at just 1 pound, 0.7 ounces.
“Is this how we’re ripping off Americans now?” Melville asked in the comments of her TikTok video, tagging Frank’s directly.
This isn’t the first time a food or beverage brand has faced this kind of scrutiny. Subway faced backlash after its “footlong” sandwiches were found to measure closer to 11 inches, and Starbucks faced a federal case alleging its drinks didn’t actually contain the advertised ounces.
Danny Karon, a consumer attorney with 35 years of experience in food litigation, explained to Inc. that these types of situations resemble what’s legally called “slack-fill,” which is governed by the Code of Federal Regulations. Packaging is allowed to have empty headspace for legitimate reasons, like preventing potato chips from breaking or protein powder settling. Fill requirements are based on weight, not package size or how full something looks. Complete article

Walmart and Target are watching you. I saw the “lab” for myself 07/13/2026
Inside America’s Shoplifting Lab In the war on “shrink,” big retailers are turning to one Florida outfit to study shoppers and prevent them from stealing. I went there—and saw far too much.
They call it “Justin’s General Store,” and in theory, there is no place on Earth harder to steal from. Every item sits beneath a chandelier of cameras. The clothes are tagged with sensors that screech or squirt ink, the baby formula sits on shelves that actively monitor weight fluctuations, the razor blades hang on kinked display hooks, and the Tide Pods are incarcerated behind various plexiglass cases, under lock and key. It is the future of retail, and it’s all in one place at the University of Florida.
“Nobody in the world has this complete of capability,” Dr. Read Hayes told me.
Dr. Hayes is the executive director of the Loss Prevention Research Council and the steward of America’s leading lab to prevent shoplifting, located in muggy Gainesville, Florida. It’s not just Justin’s, the simulated store, with its unparalleled density of anti-shoplifting technologies. Dr. Hayes has made all of campus’s Innovation Square into a live testing ground. Even the surrounds are landscaped with solar-powered towers running cameras, detectors, and more. Also, there is Spanish moss. Complete article

4 Dogs Dead, Nearly a Dozen More Rescued From Hot Cars at Walmart: PETA Pleads for Lifesaving Signage 07/13/2026
Fort Smith, Ark. – Following a string of dog deaths and more than a dozen dogs and children being rescued from hot cars in Walmart parking lots in just the past three months, PETA sent an urgent letter to Walmart CEO John Furner this morning, calling on him to mandate that all of its locations post prominent signage in its parking lots and store entrances reminding customers never to leave any living beings unattended in vehicles. Throughout the summer, PETA also plans to place messages about the dangers of leaving dogs in hot cars near Walmart stores where dogs have died.
As PETA notes in its letter, at least three dogs have died since April after being left in hot vehicles in Walmart parking lots in Florida, Wisconsin, and Texas. And the numbers keep growing, with at least seven dogs already rescued from hot cars in Walmart lots in July alone. Across the U.S. and Canada, at least 51 companion animals have died in heat-related incidents, while 289 have been rescued—and those are just the cases that were reported, most aren’t. Ten children have reportedly died in hot cars across the U.S. since the start of the year. Complete article

Flock Cameras, Ring Doorbells And Walmart Video: How Surveillance Is Solving Crimes Across Southern Maryland 07/14/2026
PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. — If a crime happens in Southern Maryland today, chances are someone—or something—captured it on camera. Whether it’s a Ring doorbell, a Walmart security system, a police body-worn camera or a license plate reader, digital surveillance is increasingly providing investigators with the evidence they need to identify suspects, verify witness accounts and piece together what happened.
A review of charging documents filed in recent months in Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties shows that surveillance evidence is frequently cited in investigations involving shoplifting, burglaries, assaults, vehicle thefts, fraud, vandalism and hit-and-run crashes.
Home Security Cameras Have Become Powerful Crime-Fighting Tools
Doorbell cameras and home surveillance systems have become a common sight throughout Southern Maryland, providing homeowners with added security while giving detectives valuable evidence when crimes occur.
Footage from Ring cameras and other residential security systems frequently appears in charging documents involving package thefts, vehicle break-ins, burglaries, vandalism and assaults. Detectives use the video to identify suspects, establish timelines and track movements before and after an alleged crime. Even when the victim does not own a security camera, recordings from neighboring homes often provide critical evidence. Complete article

Santa Fe NM police: Man injured at Walmart after his own gun discharges 07/12/2026
What appears to be an accidental discharge of a firearm Saturday afternoon at a Walmart store in Santa Fe injured the man who was carrying the weapon on his hip, police said.
The 39-year-old man sustained a leg injury in the incident, which occurred at the Walmart store on Cerrillos Road. He did not suffer a life-threatening injury, nor did he hurt anyone else, Santa Fe police Lt. Roberto Rodriguez said Sunday. Still, he is likely to face criminal charges.
The man was inside the store around 3:30 p.m. Saturday and carrying the gun on his hip when it fired. New Mexico is an open carry state, meaning a gun owner can legally carry a loaded firearm as long as it's not concealed or subject to a few other restrictions.
Police are planning to recommend criminal charges in the case — such as negligent use of a firearm — but the exact charges have yet to be determined, Rodriguez said. Complete article

Fire at Gas City Ind. Walmart Distribution Center under investigation; no injuries reported 07/15/2026
GAS CITY, Ind. — An investigation is underway after a fire at the Walmart Distribution Center in Gas City Wednesday morning.
The Gas City Volunteer Fire Department said crews responded to a report of a fire in a condensing unit at the Walmart Distribution Center, located at 100 Fischer Parkway in Gas City, around 7:50 a.m. Wednesday, July 15.
Fire officials said the ammonia cooling system in the building had been "compromised" and was leaking.
The department said air quality was continuously monitored throughout the duration of the incident.
"The fire was contained to its area of origin. All leaks were confirmed to be secured and air quality throughout the structure was tested and cleared. At approximately 1500 hours all units had cleared the scene and Walmart Distribution was back to 100% operations," the Gas City Volunteer Fire Department said in a news release.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation, however, officials said it doesn't appear to be suspicious in nature, and appears to be that of a "mechanical failure on the cooling system." Complete article

Senatobia Mississippi officer involved in fatal shooting of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley was once accused of exaggerating threat posed by a car 07/17/2026
SENATOBIA — A Mississippi police officer involved in last month’s fatal shooting of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley at a Walmart was previously accused of exaggerating the risks that a vehicle posed to officers during another parking lot confrontation that escalated into violence in 2019, records show.
That incident took place at a Waffle House parking lot when Officer Hunter Foster worked for the police department in Southaven. It led to a federal lawsuit against Foster and a dozen other officers, which was settled for an undisclosed amount in 2022.
According to the lawsuit, Foster falsified his report that stemmed from a call for a suspicious vehicle, claiming that the driver had accelerated his car, “almost running over” another officer. Surveillance footage filed with the lawsuit shows no evidence that the car drove toward, or nearly hit, any of the officers. It shows several officers, though not Foster, aggressively pulling men from the car and striking them while they were on the ground.
Now employed by the police department in Senatobia, Foster was among the officers who responded to a shoplifting call at the local Walmart on June 14. At least one officer opened fire on a vehicle, striking Kohen and killing him.
Officers had attempted to stop the car, but “the driver drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one,” according to a statement released the day of the shooting by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, part of the state Department of Public Safety. Complete article

Woman Opens Fram, Purolator Oil Filters From Walmart. She’s Horrified By What She Sees Inside: ‘You Can Clearly Tell’ 07/17/2026
Should a retail air filter purchase require taking a couple of minutes to pop open the box and inspect the actual contents before making a payment? That may seem like a paranoid and irrational move in most cases, but a Michigan mechanic scoping the aisles in a Walmart warned there are signs every driver should know to look for before buying from a mass-market outlet and installing one on their engine.
The TikTok from mechanic Blondie&herOBS (@blondieherobs) doesn’t take long to find filters for sale in a Walmart automotive aisle that very clearly shouldn't be headed for installation. One oil filter had visible debris on its rubber sealing gasket, and the boxed air filters looked dirty enough that the mechanic believed they had already been used in another vehicle.
“We were trying to look for an oil filter for his dad's truck and then one for his truck, and I just got to looking at the gaskets and stuff because I always check gaskets,” she said in the clip, which has been viewed more than 1,300 times. “You can clearly tell that somebody put it in a vehicle and then was like, oh, that's not the right filter, and then they just put it back on the shelf.”
Used Parts For Sale?
The shabby, used-looking air filters are the most obvious red flag in the clip, but the creator said she also makes a point of checking every oil filter before she gets to the register. Her main concern is the rubber gasket around the base, which is supposed to create a leak-free seal once it’s installed. Complete article

Teen Mom Goes to Walmart Alone With Her One-Year-Old. Then She Walks Out and He’s Standing at Her Car: ‘If They Were Trying to Hurt Me’ 07/17/2026
17-year-old mom Sofy Rodriguez posted a chilling account of a stranger’s unsettling behavior while she was shopping alone with her one-year-old son, and the story has since sparked widespread concern about personal safety in everyday spaces.
Sofy (@its_sofyrodriguez) detailed her experience in a TikTok video that has racked up hundreds of thousands of views. She was at Walmart to pick up ingredients for a hair mask while her boyfriend was at work.
What started as a routine errand quickly turned into a nerve-wracking ordeal when a man in a black truck began intensely staring at her as she unloaded her baby from the car. The situation escalated when he approached her to say her car lights were still on. Sofy brushed it off at first, assuming it was a simple mistake. But things took a darker turn when she returned from shopping to find the same man standing at her car.
She immediately called her mom, who is trained in safety protocols, and followed a series of precautions to ensure she wasn’t being followed or targeted.
She had a weird feeling, and she didn’t ignore it
Sofy said she didn’t think much of the man’s behavior at first, chalking it up to a coincidence. But when he didn’t stop staring, her guards went up. When he told her the lights on her car were still on, she realized she had left the interior light on. She turned it off and continued into the store, but the uneasy feeling lingered.

Woman Accidentally Leaves Walmart Chicken On The Counter For 6 Months. Then She Notices Something Shocking: ‘I Started Buying From My Local Farmers’ 07/20/2026
Food in the U.S. is often designed to last longer. Food engineers and manufacturers do this through things like preservatives, heat treatment, drying, freezing, packaging, and other methods.
The fact that some bread does not seem to mold for a very long time, for example, is an observation that unsettles plenty of consumers. It makes them wonder, what exactly is in them that makes them unperishable? But now, a woman on TikTok has added another unexpected food to the mix: baked chicken.
In her video, which has gotten over 502,400 views, Hope from the TikTok couple account @aviandhope holds up a bag of Walmart chicken that she says had been left out for a surprisingly long time.
What’s Wrong With This Walmart Chicken?

According to Hope, she bought a pack of chicken breasts after returning from India in February, baked the chicken in the oven, put it in a Ziploc bag, and accidentally left it on the counter.
“This has been on the counter for six months,” she says. “It has not rotted, it has not molded.”
Hope says she plans to keep it and see how long it takes for the chicken to change, if it ever does. Complete article

The real welfare queen': Sanders says Walmart spent $37.6B on buybacks as workers rely on Medicaid and SNAP 07/25/2026
Sen. Bernie Sanders isn't shy about calling out billionaires and their spending habits in public. This week, the democratic socialist took to X to criticize Walmart, the country's largest private sector employer, on social media.
According to Sanders, Walmart has executed $37.6 billion in stock buyback purchases since 2020. That money could instead have been used to give all of its employees $23,550 bonuses, he says.
"Walmart pays wages so low that many of their workers need Medicaid and SNAP paid for by taxpayers," he wrote in a July 23 post.
Stock buybacks can be lucrative for publicly-held companies if they believe their stock is undervalued. This can, in turn, return more value to shareholders by decreasing the amount of public shares available as well as improve the company's earnings per share. Public companies may also leverage the strategy to avoid hostile takeovers.
But with Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits a consistent point of debate in Congress, Sanders is seemingly pointing the finger at companies like Walmart that have the power to reduce the number of people receiving public benefits by simply paying them more.

Slow Speed Fla. Walmart Parking Lot Chase Leads To Meth Trafficking Arrest For Cantonment Man 07/28/2026
What began as erratic driving on West Nine Mile Road escalated into a lights-and-siren pursuit through a Walmart parking lot and a meth trafficking arrest for a Cantonment man recenthly.
Charlie Clifford Davis, 55, was arrested after allegedly refusing to stop for law enforcement and leaving a trail of narcotics in his wake during an attempted evasion. He was charged with trafficking methamphetamine (14 grams or over), tampering with evidence in a criminal proceeding, possession of marijuana, and driving with a suspended or revoked license, third or subsequent offense. He was later released from the Escambia County Jail on a $108,500 bond.
According to the arrest report, the incident began when a marked Escambia County Sheriff’s Office patrol unit observed a white pickup truck crossing the center line multiple times and improperly stopping at the intersection of Nine Mile Road and Pensacola Boulevard. A deputy followed the vehicle into the Walmart parking lot at 8970 Pensacola Boulevard and activated their emergency lights and siren.
Instead of yielding, Davis reportedly slowed down but continued to drive north through the parking lot. During the slow-speed pursuit, the deputy observed Davis frantically reaching around the passenger seat, causing the truck to make sudden, jerky movements. With the truck’s passenger window open, Davis executed an abrupt U-turn in the Walmart lot before finally pulling into the adjacent Murphy USA gas station and coming to a stop. Complete article

We found 120 fake Walmart stores trying to steal your credit card 07/29/2026
Shoppers browsing on their phones are landing on convincing Walmart lookalike sites offering name-brand liquor at 40% to 70% off, only to be led straight to a checkout page asking for a full credit card number, expiry date, and CVV.
The sites have no connection to Walmart. They’re part of a network of more than 120 near-identical domains built to look like a legitimate retailer just long enough to steal your card details.
Fake Walmart websites
The name “Walmart” is doing most of the work here. It’s one of the most recognized retailers in the world, and it’s that familiarity that makes people lower their guard. A shopper who’d hesitate on an unfamiliar website may think nothing of an unusually large discount because the logo, colours, and layout look familiar.
That trust hasn’t been earned by the site. It’s borrowed from a brand that has nothing to do with it. Complete article

Walmart has a shoplifting problem it helped create 07/30/2026
The retail giant tops a new survey that no company would want to be the leader in.
Shoplifting numbers, who’s stealing, and why they’re stealing have become hot-button talk-show topics, so it’s no surprise that retailers have reported an increase in theft.
“Retailers report increases across various methods of external theft (cargo/supply chain theft, shoplifting, and walkout/pushout theft) as well as digital and online fraud (phone scams, ecommerce fraud, and repeat offender theft). The survey showed a combined 19% increase in external shoplifting and merchandise theft incidents from 2023 to 2024,” according to the National Retail Federation’s (NRF) 2025 Impact of Retail Theft & Violence Report.
The NRF does not break out shoplifting from other types of theft, such as internal loss and organized retail crime (ORC), but it indicates that shoplifting has trended upward in the past few years.
“Retailers reported a 93% increase in average annual shoplifting incidents in 2023 compared with pre-pandemic 2019 levels,” the NRF reported in its 2024 report.
One retailer, Walmart, appears to be facing a bigger problem than its rivals, according to a new Lending Tree report. Complete article

Lakewood NY police eye camera near Walmart 07/30/2026
LAKEWOOD – Lakewood-Busti police are looking to submit a grant application that could result in cameras at Fairmount and Fairdale avenues in the village to better monitor traffic around the Walmart Supercenter.
Gov. Kathy Hochul recently announced grant applications are being accepted for the $75 million Law Enforcement Technology Grant program that makes money available to police departments and sheriffs' offices to improve technology and modernize equipment, allowing them to more effectively solve and prevent crime, and improve officer and community safety. The area near Fairmount and Fairdale avenue marks a location that is typically the location of a majority of the Lakewood-Busti Police Department's call volume between incidents at Walmart and traffic accidents at the busy intersection.
"We’re looking at getting a brand-new speed trailer that will have a message board on it. We’re looking into a drone, and then intersection cameras at Fairmont and Fairdale. The Department has been having a lot of issues there, obviously because of Walmart with the shoplifting, but also accidents and just traffic going up and down (Route) 394," the minutes of the July 13 Lakewood Village Board meeting state.

Amazon, Walmart AI can spot false ‘Made in USA’ claims but fail to warn shoppers 07/30/2026
A new study found that Amazon’s and Walmart’s AI shopping assistants can identify false “Made in USA” claims on products, but the companies are not using that capability to warn shoppers about misleading labels.
The report comes from a thinktank led by Lina Khan, the former chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and was first published by Columbia Law School’s Center for Law and the Economy. According to the study, Amazon’s Alexa and Walmart’s Sparky can identify contradictions within the same product listing. For instance, a “Made in USA” badge appearing alongside mentions of imported components or overseas shipping details.
When researchers pointed why the AI assistants don’t flag these inconsistencies to shoppers, the chatbots gave a tactful response rather than a logical one. Walmart’s Sparky said the FTC typically pursues manufacturers rather than retailers for false labeling, meanwhile Amazon’s Alexa said, “The harm to U.S.-made brands is real and documented, but until that harm creates a financial, regulatory, or reputational cost for Amazon specifically, it remains easier to do nothing.” Complete article

Woman Buys Hot Sauce From Walmart. Then She Finds Something Disturbing Once She Twists Off the Cap 07/31/2026
The nature of many packaged grocery products is that shoppers do not always know what is inside until they actually open them.
That is especially true with something like hot sauce, which is usually dark in color and often covered by a shrink-wrapped label that can make the inside of the bottle even harder to see.
One Walmart shopper, however, was forced to take a closer look at her Crystal Hot Sauce when she tried to use it, and nothing came out. Something was blocking the opening.
TikTok creator Lori (@_lul.baabbyy_333) filmed the foreign object while it was still inside the bottle, then decided to break the bottle open to see what it was. Her videos have gotten over 235,300 views. Complete article

Walmart Already Owns The Drone Network Amazon Wants 07/31/2026
Wing and Walmart switched on drone delivery in Greater Orlando on Wednesday, covering more than 50,000 homes, businesses and apartment buildings from two Supercenters in Apopka and Clermont. I have covered these launches at DroneXL since Fort Worth in 2024, and this one reads routine until you put it on a map. About 90 percent of Americans live within 10 miles of a Walmart store. Wing is now under contract to fly from more than 270 of them by 2027.
Orlando Extends The Playbook Wing Built In Texas
The Orlando launch repeats the pattern Wing has run since Dallas-Fort Worth: pick a pair of Supercenters, wire a corner of the property for drone operations, and let the store itself act as the warehouse, with orders reaching homes in about 30 minutes across a 4 to 5 mile (6.4 to 8 km) radius.
The mechanics have not changed. A store worker attaches the package to a tether, then the aircraft climbs and plans its own route before lowering the order from about 20 feet (6 m) without ever landing. The drones cruise at up to 60 mph (97 km/h), and each one weighs about 11 pounds (5 kg) while carrying packages up to 2.5 pounds (1.1 kg), the same numbers DroneXL confirmed when the Fort Worth service launched in 2024.
