Walmart Employees Speak Out About The Slip-And-Fall Scam In Stores
If you've ever been in a store, you may have heard of the slip-and-fall scam, and people are finally speaking out about it.
The slip-and-fall scam has been around for years. It's one of those scams that seems quite easy to take advantage of, so many people try to do it. However, this can result in numerous scams that ultimately do not work out in their favor.
If you don't know what this scam entails, it involves customers walking through the store and pretending to slip, finding a spill, or even creating a spill to fake an injury. Sometimes, individuals go so far as to actually injure themselves during the fall.
The premise is that the store is supposed to have a "wet floor" sign near any spills to avoid a lawsuit in case someone slips. Without a "wet floor" sign, you could be eligible for compensation if you fall.
However, many people are unaware of the ins and outs of this scam and, therefore, are not successful with it. A Walmart employee speaks out about the scam and explains why it doesn't work the same way anymore.
