"I don't like the company that you wageslaves work for, so I'm going to create a big stinky mess for y'all to clean up. (And also waste some trivial amount of the company's money.)"

If this was the only tactic one could use to waste money at Walmart, then yes, it would be trivial. Now, imagine a team of 20 people doing this, as well as numerous other tactics to waste their money, weekly at 5 locations in a city. the numbers start adding up real quick. the wageslaves don't care. Wal-Mart pays them low enough that the company assists them with acquiring welfare benefits to supplement their incomes. Such a scheme does not ingratiate your employees to helping with loss prevention. in fact, I've had employees give me tips on how to be better at my sabotage. (Note, this is negatively impacting my karma, and I'm enjoying every second of it)

  I think the point wasn't that employees cared about the loss, but about having to clean-up the mess. Especially if they're forced to work overtime on account of that.

    There's some interesting concepts you've brought up here: 1) Does Wal-Mart force their employees to do overtime? How is this legal? 2) Are Wal-Mart employees paid well enough to take pride in the appearance of their store? 3) Do Wal-Mart employees have a bad day because they have to fish an open bag of sliced ham out of a box in the Shoe Department? my personal experience is "no" on all three, but I'd be interested to see other experiences from current or former Wal-Mart employees.

  Wow, you are a horrible person. Intentionally wasting food and then making poorly paid Walmart employees to clean it up.
