A Memphis woman has been banned from all Walmart locations over her long-term self-checkout scams.
Ashley Cross can no longer shop at any Walmart after police caught her trying to scam the self-checkout. The 37-year-old woman attempted to buy over $137 worth of items for only $1 by using the barcode of an old watch battery. The Neighborhood Talk reposted footage of the news.
As for her partner in crime, the woman received a misdemeanor citation for theft of property. She attempted to steal a backpack, two bras, a lash kit, and a car accessory, totaling over $57.
Police have arrested Cross before for her prior shoplifting habits. However, this latest occurrence has yielded a newer result.
While a police report also deemed her a “well-known shoplifter,” her ongoing thefts led to her placement on Walmart’s authorization of agency list.
Her designation on the list has resulted in a ban from all Walmarts throughout America. Although Walmart refused to comment on its latest ban, it did issue a statement on persons “no longer welcome” at the shopping“hub.
“We value our customers and associates and want them to have a pleasant shopping experience,” wrote the retailer. “Though rare, there are instances when someone is no longer welcome in our stores.”
