MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WKRC) - An alleged serial shoplifter was banned from every Walmart location in the United States.

According to WREG, citing the Memphis Police Department, 37-year-old Ashley Cross was banned from every Walmart location across the country due to her reported history of taking products from the business without paying.

Authorities responded to a Walmart on Elvis Presley Boulevard in Memphis, Tennessee around 3:40 p.m. to investigate a report of shoplifting. Upon arriving at the scene, officers were informed that two women were stealing from the business, one of whom was Cross.

Memphis police told WREG's reporters that Cross was a well-known shoplifter, adding that she had been caught on camera utilizing an old watch barcode battery to scan multiple items for $1 at a self-checkout machine.

Reports obtained by the outlet show Cross allegedly stole the following:

• 11 packs of Ramen Noodles
• Jeans
• A T-shirt
• Boots

The station reported that the cost for the merchandise totaled $137.34.

The second woman was also captured on security cameras using the same barcode to ring up her items for $1, per the outlet. She was accused of taking two bras, a lash kit, a backpack and a car accessory, which totaled $57.86, and was given a misdemeanor citation for theft of property, WREG reported.

According to the station, Cross is on the Authorization of Agency list, which means she is not permitted to enter any Walmart store in the country due to alleged previous shoplifting incidents.

“We value our customers and associates and want them to have a pleasant shopping experience. Though rare, there are instances when someone is no longer welcome in our stores,” Walmart wrote in a statement to the outlet.

Cross was charged with the following, per the station:

• Criminal trespass
• Theft of merchandise less than $1,000

Would not.

CSB time.

I love self checkout and use it every time I go to Walmart, Hy-Vee, Fareway, etc. I once walked out of Walmart with a whole shopping cart full of groceries without paying. I got halfway home before I realized what I had done then promptly returned and explained what happened. Nobody cared, so I just rescanned and put everything back into my reusable bags and went about my day. I imagine if I was of darker complexion or had an accent, I would have been detained, but luckily for me, I’m a white male.

That is indeed a CSB.

But did you have the audacity to steal 11 packs of ramen noodles?

Nope, it’s all true, even the reusable bags and white privilege.

Would I punch her? I'm usually against hitting women, so no. Would I give her a healthy dose ricin? Let me think about it.

There should be an option for a Wal-Mart self ban. Like casinos

Great idea. But they wouldn't do it. That would be like asking a grifter to stop grifting

I guess I would say it would be interesting to see how your results differed if you did it as many times as she did to get banned from all Walmarts.

Wal-Mart invests a shit ton in security. Don't even think you can pick your nose without about 5 cameras on you. I had to deal with fake scanners all the time when I was on the bench. Dumb people think they can scam the system. Problem for them is the technology is leaps and bounds ahead of them.
