Oh, I have to add this quote from the article. This is great!!
Wal-Mart is reviewing store videotapes "as we look into the claim," spokeswoman Karen Burk said from the massive retailer's Bentonville, Ark., headquarters. "We will investigate this claim as thoroughly as we have the other 10 claims that this customer and her sister have brought against our stores in the past." |

Whatever happened to putting people like this on display in stocks? Seems fitting. I will donate for the rotten tomatoes.
Losers.

Whats even more funny is how the stupid news and media outlets just blasted the story all over the world... as if it were true...
Just like they are making a Richard Jewel out of the guy arrested for kidnapping the girl in ND. Now...he MAY very well have done it (hell based on his past record, he probably did)...but the media would have you think that this is the guy, 100% no doubt. Thank goodness for the judicial system.... Now Im off on a tangent... |

About ten years ago there was a duo, Mr and Mrs Bissel (aka, "the flying Bissels"), who repeatedly scammed Waldbaums supermarkets on Long Island, with the same strategy. One of them would fall down in the store and claim to be injured. The store manager would use his/her discretionary authority to pay them $1000 to go away and not take legal action. Waldbaums would them make a claim on their insurance policy, and thats how the scam unravelled. Some of these claims went to the same insurance company investigator, who noticed the pattern. As they were leaving court after being sentenced, once of them "fell down" on the court steps and threatened to sue the city ( I think it was Hempstead or Massapequa).
I remember reading about it in LI Newsday.
