Read my post, I'm still trying figure out how they let it happen. :-? He didn't "steal" anything, he just simply change the price on things. If you are dumb enough let him get away with that then........errr... No comment. For once, K-mart finally got Wal-Mart beat in couple things. 1)Layway. 2) How our clearance system works.
Even if you pay for part of a product and not the whole thing you are stealing. That's not including the fact it's totally illegal to switch price tags. You can't argue that.
However, just as Tin said, he's innocent until proven guilty. Even though the fact he ran like hell shows he knew he was in the wrong...
