Greed got him. LOL Man 'buys' everything at Wal-Mart for 75 cents Quoting: PACNWguyReplaces bar codes, slashes prices drastically in shopping spree -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: May 3, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern STUART, Fla. – Wal-Mart, the world's No. 1 retailer, is well-known for rolling back prices, but one of its customers is going to jail for taking the price-slashing into his own hands, literally. Police say Paul Joseph Vest, 25, was shopping at the local Wal-Mart Supercenter when he used copied bar-code stickers from a toy car to ring up items such as Xbox games, diapers and fishing supplies at an amazing 75 cents each. According to the Palm Beach Post, Vest went to the store five times, scanning items which also included spark plugs and car mats in the self-serve checkout lanes. Wal-Mart officials joined Stuart police using video surveillance to snag Vest on his final checkout, March 11. Facing charges of scheming to defraud, and several counts of retail theft, Vest pleaded no contest to a single count of scheming to defraud, and was sentenced to 10 weekends in jail plus a year on probation, along with a permanent ban from the Stuart Wal-Mart. He will also have to pay $100 in restitution. Vest could later seek to have his record expunged, as Judge Robert Belanger withheld a formal judgment of guilt. if this muthafucker was brown he would be getting serious time. tell me i'm lying. |

Greed got him. LOL I don't understand the self-checkout thing you have there in the USA. Wouldn't it have been easier for this guy just to walk out the store with the stuff without self-checking-out?!?! |
