Let me rephrase it: Why did no one at Walmart realize that something was wrong with this picture before allowing customers to see it?

Maybe they didn’t notice that someone had messed with the sign until someone pointed it out.

You think someone messed with the sign??

Absolutely, what would the alternative be? That Walmart intended to label guns as back to school items? For what purpose, what would they stand to gain? I’d bet it’s either an edgelord customer who thought it would be funny (similar to moving the Bible to the fiction section in a bookstore) or a rogue employee that doesn’t give a shit about his soul-crushing job and really can’t wait to be fired. I’d say the the former is much more likely than the latter, but it’s still a possibility. Either way, low level employee is as far up the ladder as it goes.

It could have been some lower level manager. Could have also happened due to miscommunication between manager and employee.

anytime you see a photo on the internet, it is either fake or staged.

I don’t think my Walmart doesn’t has a rotating gun display. Hard to tell from the photo if that sign is attached to the display or not. If half the security cameras actually worked they could figure out who did it.

In the case of porn, it’s often both. 😛

On that note, if the Trump you know what video actually exists and leaked, would it harm him at this point?

Miscommunication, possibly, but even if it is a manager, he did it because he hates his job and doesn’t care. Nobody with any amount of care for their job, barring a severe mental handicap, would do that intentionally.

For those that don’t like the term colorblind:

If I were the boss of a company looking to hire an accountant, what would be wrong in being colorblind in my choice?

reposting so it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle.

I like the term colorblind, but that’s a great example of why it’s important for everyone to be colorblind.

Nothing, it would be great. But how exactly are you going to achieve that?

Oh they do, and I, as certain as I could possibly be considering I don’t work at that particular store, Say they absolutely know who did it. The fact that they aren’t saying who it was most likely means it was a customer that hasn’t come back into the store so that aren’t going to spend the time or money to go after them. But is better publicity to pretend they don’t know than it is to say that know but aren’t going to do anything about it.

My Mom got her wallet lifted at the local Walmart in the early 2000’s by two crooks working as a a team. (One engages you in conversation while the other goes for the grab.) The employees were about as helpful and understanding as a dead moose. They acted as if there wasn’t video of the incident. If it wasn’t for the fact it was the only place in the area carrying the nutricional supplement my Dad liked, (he was battling cancer at the time) she never would have shopped there ever again.

Yeah they’ve invested alot of money as a company into improving security, including cameras and secret shoppers. They have heat sensing cameras that can watch you through shelves now, and stealth cameras disguised as shelves. It’s not the same as the early 2000s.

Good to know. I won’t be trying on any clothing in a Walmart any time soon. 😉

No cameras in the fitting room per law, that’s why they are locked so you can’t go in without somebody knows you’re in there.

And yes I know you’re joking, just saying.

I’m not being very much fun this evening apparently.

By not being racist? Deciding to analyze them based upon their merit?

And this is verified how?

I would judge the candidates based on their skills and qualifications as accountants. I would ignore skin color.
