A good friend asked me to smoke about 10 briskets for him. He said Kroger has packers on sale for $2.99. I head there and load up a shopping cart. I go through self checkout and pay. O hit the first set of double doors and it feels like my cart is glued to the the floor. I look around and can't figure it out. I can lift the front wheels or the back wheels but not both. Then a lady comes by to check my receipt and apologized. She said the store installed magnets in the floor to stop theft The magnet is on the shopping cart wheels and locks them in place. Not even sure how magnets in the floor would work. The sensor is in the floor to trigger it. Maybe floor magnets is something new, but I think the employee was confused how it worked. Kroger uses cameras and AI to watch the self service lanes. Anything odd triggers the alarm and when the cart hits the floor sensor the wheels lock until a store person checks the receipt and unlocks the cart remotely. Mu guess multiple items of the same thing and how you rang them up confused the computer which triggered the alarm. More stores are going with new technology that catches honest people as well as shoplifters. I only use self checkout if I have less than 5 or 6 items..

I try to avoid Wal Mart as much as possible. The only plus to going is leggings and yoga pants. My GF told me when she was there earlier this week the group in front of her scanned about 4 items and left with a full cart Leggings and yoga pants aren’t always a good thing at my Walmart.

If you go to the one on 19 in Palatka I understand completely...I have been to that one several times. The worst Wal Marts I have ever visited is the one in Palatka and the one on the Westside of Jax.

I got there about 10pm on a Friday. It was a madhouse with 300 languages being spoken. My girlfriend at the time said oh I'm going over here and I'll be right back..... 45 minutes later I found her. What a mess

The one on East side of Gainesville is awesome! Always 2 or 3 cop cars out front with lights on, It's very safe.

I've been to the East G'ville store once. It was a pre-dawn stop for flares. We had to leave a couple of guys at the boat to keep the crackheads run off.

About the only Wal-Mart I go to is in Clayton Georgia. Not a whole lot of issues up there.

Has anyone seen what used to be the "Women of Walmart" 365 calendar? They have become more inclusive now... It's called the "People of Walmart" now and is a kind of throw up in your mouth gag gift... Don't believe me? Go look for yourself.

Very sketchy, I've been there a couple times when the computer said they had so.ething I needed & nobody else did. Talk about shrinkage, l'm betting lots of product goes out the back door as well as the front. They have arrested employees there a couple times for assisting in the shoplifting at the register. Worst wally world I've been in,

Government made Walmart put that Eastside store in so that they could build the store out by the old highway patrol station.
