alt Hacker NewsYou could always go to a Walmart and look up to see if they bothered to even wire the cameras or if the plug was literally dangling from the cameras over the entire store.
Happened at the expansion at the one I worked at and the shoplifters went ham for a while after they figured that out

Walmart is deep in surveillance tech. The store I worked at now has TV screens near the cash registers showing off their tracking (live camera feed with those tracking boxes or whatever drawn around people.) Once when I was using self check out, it thought I was trying to steal something and replayed video of the scan where it thought I scanned one time and bagged multiple.
They could also be hanging obvious decoys to lure the criminal-prone to action that the real, better hidden, ones capture
Unfortunatelly this is incorrect. Do not be fooled by the decoys. They do it to customers, employees, and contractors.
