Can you get banned at Walmart?
Walmart doesn’t like theft; if you can steal a ton of items or high value products then you will be sent to jail or prison and obviously be banned from Walmart. Other than that, mostly felonies would result in a permanent ban from Walmart.
Can Walmart ban you for no reason?
Yes, any retailer can. It is private property and they can ban whoever they want for whatever reason they want. However, in practice, they will only ban someone if they have no choice.

Walmart employees can ask to check your receipt before you leave, but you are within your rights to refuse to show it. Additionally, due to the “Shopkeeper’s Privilege” laws, Walmart associates can force you to show your receipt and even detain you in the store if they suspect you of shoplifting.
What happens if you confront a Walmart store employee about stealing?
Store employees will get their asses fired if they confront you. As someone who actually worked at Walmart, I can tell you, I don’t think there really is a way for us to enforce that, other than legally. Store employees cannot and will not confront you about it. We are told not to even confront somebody we have WITNESSED stealing something.
What happens to the pictures taken at Walmart when you get trespassed?
Most Walmarts can print out a picture from those cameras (if they did not take a photo of you with a polaroid camera or a digital camera when you were “Trespassed” by the local police). They keep them in a binder with the “Loss Prevention Report” of what you did to be “Trespassed”.
Why does Walmart take your picture when you shoplift?
If Walmart is actively banning shoplifters, then they are taking your picture with all of the information. Such as your name, Date of Arrest, DOB, and how much you stole. The picture then goes into a book that Loss Prevention keeps in the office.
