I worked for Wal-Mart for a short time. I like to refer to it as the Lion's Den. I actually made a game out of seeing how little I could do and get paid for it.
Some of the clear-cut wins included making a giant rubberband ball, testing how long you had to over-inflate the bouncy balls before they pop, hours of listening to the radio (I was a bike builder in the back room), and attending two useless 'team meetings' a day.
At one of these team meetings, we were strongly counseled to track down anyone we see using a camera in the store and ask them to stop, then contacting a manager.
Being the person I am, I had to ask why (they didn't like me much there; hence the game). Can you guess the response?
"Because it's company policy."
So I'm not sure, but I think Wal-Mart had instances like this one in mind.
Owen:
Do you think it's tougher to spot someone using a camera now that so many phones are equipped with them?
John,
You know I think it is. Surely it's easier to point and shoot and make it sound like you're on a speaker phone.
