Police say Texas woman ate half a cake while roaming Walmart, then refused to pay
Authorities in Wichita Falls, Texas say a local woman “ate half a cake while roaming the aisles of a Walmart store and then refused to pay full price for it, claiming she had found it half-eaten.”
You may recall from the Boing Boing post titled “Walmart bans woman after she rode around on mobility scooter drinking wine from Pringles can” that in January, 2019, yet ANOTHER Texas woman was banned from an entirely different Walmart store in Wichita Falls (the town has more than one) after THAT woman “spent several hours driving an electric shopping cart around the parking lot while drinking wine from a Pringles can.”
More from the Associated Press, which by the way is extremely on top of the trend of fed up females doing things they ought not to do in Wichita Falls Texas Walmarts:
Wichita Falls police Sgt. Harold McClure says the woman picked up the cake at the store's bakery last Tuesday and ate half of it before getting to the checkout counter. He says a manager called police after the woman claimed she had found the cake that way and would not pay full price for it.
Officers ordered her to pay the full price but did not issue her a citation. She was banned from the store and her name wasn't released.
The city is about 125 miles (200 kilometers) northwest of Dallas, near the Oklahoma border.
