Maybe they should be the greeter at Wal-mart with a blue vest that says, "Welcome to the Wal-Mart where I shoplifted."
with a Yellow Rollback Smiley on the back that says, "I thought 'Always low prices' meant to use the five finger discount."
"Steal here and replace an old fart saying,
Hello, How can I help you?"
It's interesting that a judge can use public humiliation in lieu of a jail sentence, but try to do that in public schools with students who do wrong, and you'll be sued by the parents.
Imagine if a student who cheated on a test had to wear a sign that said "I cheated on Ms. Smith's algebra exam" for a week. Or..."I got caught putting foul language up on the bathroom walls." Some people have no shame, so I'm not sure that attempts at public humiliation would be a deterrant, but why not try.
There must be consequences for misbehavior, that hits the offender where it hurts, and then there will be a decrease in crime.
I'm all for public stonings for convincted beyond the shadow of a doubt serial killers, rapists, child molesters, etc. Why not use the middle eastern version of chopping off hands that steal. Now there's a deterrant...Always! |

It can't be any worse than wearing a uniform that says "I'm employed at Wal-Mart". |

1) It's pretty sad if one has to shoplift at Walmart
2) It's pretty sad the individual was caught. |

Just about as good as one of the Walton's wearing one saying I am a greedy corporate raider taking money off main-street in small towns all over the US and other countries and am making myself filthy rich. |

I have a better idea. Let's tattoo the word thief in big black bold letters across the forehead of all thieves. |

how about walmart employees wear shirts that say " I ran the little guy out of business" or "I am the reason third world people make 12 cents per hour" or "I came to your community even though you dont want me here" or "buy our crap, there might be lead in the baby toys, but they are cheap and we dont care if your kids are poisoned" ?
Screw walmart |

I think it is okay since they had a choice. They could have taken the 60 days sentence and they prefered the sign, so it was really up to them. |

I think it would be better if it said
" I'm an idiot for getting caught shopplifting!!!" |

I think it is a good tactic, but I don't think it will work because it is more of a joke than a punishment. |

Considering Wal-Mart was the easiest to rip off, ShopKo one of the hardest ones they should of took measures a long time ago to stop making it so easy! I stood there one night watching this young guy pull off a scam with a computer and the girl at the return desk never even questioned him!!! I think the theif deserves it but I think the store needs to step up to. |

I love it. These people make prices higher for everyone. Shoplifting is not a victimless crime. We are all victims. Do you think Walmart is going to eat the loss...no way. You and I pay for it, and I think shoplifters should do a few weekends in jail. |

This type of punishment seems to be effective. It is voluntary in lieu of other punishments. |

How big is the sign for wally mart? Any thief should wear the sign. Humiliation cured a lot of crime before big money and lots of new prisons come on the scene. |

Nothing wrong with that provided that the person that had to wear it was embarrassed enough to have learned that stealing is not good. |

hmm, if it will deter shoplifters in the future and esp those wearing the signs, then that is good............if they were innocent and wrongly convicted, then the judge truly overstepped his boundaries and humiliated them without cause |
