Ex-Store Greeter Shared That He Never Got In The Way Of Moms Who Tried To Steal Baby Products

If you're someone who decided to have children, you know how rewarding yet nerve-racking raising your offspring is – realizing that your life will never be the same and that you're now responsible for a tiny human could affect your mental health and overall stamina that you once had.

Moreover, starting a family is never cheap. Folks ought to be sure that they have a reliable future to know that their children will be showered not only with love but with the necessities that'll secure them a fulfilling life. However, our existence is incredibly unpredictable, and you never know what kind of lemons you could wake up to tomorrow morning.

This TikTok user stitched a video from a fellow creator that showed a shelf of locked baby formulas while saying: "if you see anyone stealing – no, you didn't", to explain why he never cared about mothers stealing said product.

Once you become a parent – you're not your number one priority anymore. You're now in charge of your child and the quality of life that they're going to have. Unfortunately, no matter how prepared you think you are, things can always go south, whether that's something related to your financial status or else.

Parenting is never easy, nor it is affordable. Health check-ups, after-school activities, clothing – everything that a kid must have in order to live a happy life – costs an unbelievable amount of money. However, today's article is focused specifically on baby formula. Breastfeeding is, of course, a cheaper way out, but it's not always as easy as it seems. Some mothers simply are not able to feed their children, which is why they turn to baby milk that happens to be extremely overpriced.

The TikToker started his video off by explaining that he used to work at Walmart as a door greeter, and was responsible for, well, greeting customers and checking their receipts once they were finally stocked up with groceries and were ready to leave the store. Though, he admitted that every time he saw that a baby product, such as diapers or formula wasn't mentioned on the receipt – he simply wished the customer a great day and continued with his duties.

The reason why he didn't care about this particular theft was because he believes that baby formulas are way too overpriced and that having kids is generally quite expensive, as not a lot of people are as financially stable as others. The author then mentions that catching people stealing wasn't at all rewarded by the company, so he didn't feel like he wanted to put those mothers in an unpleasant position by telling on them for simply wanting to feed their children.

Customers would warn the ex-greeter that they saw someone stealing, yet he would check their receipt and simply let them go. He revealed that he would often get in trouble with asset protection staff but he never really cared about the consequences, since, at the time, he was only making $11.50.

It could be argued that his low salary can't justify the fact that he would constantly cover for folks that were committing theft – however, everyone's aware how ridiculously expensive baby products are. A 40-dollar can that many mothers depend on simply shouldn't cost that much, so maybe he was an absolute angel for helping those who were in need.
