Report: Woman banned from Walmart for refusing to pay for cake she ate
A customer has been barred from a Texas Walmart Supercenter after officials say she refused to pay for a cake that she had already partially eaten inside the store.
The woman had entered the store in Witchita Falls and gobbled up half of a cake while walking around the store, Walmart employees told police.
Wichita Falls Police Department spokesman Officer Jeff Hughes told the Wichita Falls Times Record News that officials received a call about the woman from a manager of the Walmart store around 8 p.m. local time on June 25.
When the woman arrived at the register, Walmart employees said that she demanded a discount because “half the cake was missing,” according to My9NJ.
Police say they eventually forced the woman to pay for the entire cake and she was subsequently barred from the Walmart location. Her name has not been released.
A store manager at the Walmart Supercenter told INSIDER that none of the store’s employees can comment on the matter. Wichita Falls Police Department officials did not immediately return INSIDER’s request for comment.
This is the second time this year that a woman has been reportedly banned from one of Walmart’s locations in Wichita Falls, Texas.
In January, a woman reportedly drank wine from a Pringles can while taking an electric scooter for a joy ride around a different Wichita Falls store’s parking lot. She was eventually barred from the Walmart location, according to the Wichita Falls Times Record.
