Speaker 2: goes to Ashley Cross.
Speaker 1: Ashley is a thirty.
Speaker 2: Seven year old African American woman from Memphis, Tennessee. Okay,
Speaker 2: salute everyone who listens to us on K ninety seven
Speaker 2: in Memphis. Now, I'm sure that you all are aware
Speaker 2: by now there's a lot of companies that rolled back
Speaker 2: their diversity equity and including initiatives. One of those companies
Speaker 2: is Walmart. Now, if you read my first book, Black Privilege,
Speaker 2: and you know the joy Walmart brought me as a child,
Speaker 2: because when you grow up in the country like I did.
Speaker 2: Salute the monst Corner South Carolina, drop on the clues
Speaker 2: bombs for most Corner South Carolina. When you grow up
Speaker 2: in the country or rural area, the twenty five hour
Speaker 2: Walmart is everything. Okay, that's what we would go late
Speaker 2: at night because there was nothing else to do. Yes,
Speaker 2: the good old days, walking the holy.
Speaker 1: Grounds of Walmart.
Speaker 2: This was way back in the day when the only
Speaker 2: thing they were rolling back is prices. But a lot
Speaker 2: of people have called for a boycott at these companies,
Speaker 2: in particular Target, but Ashley Cross has decided that she
Speaker 2: is staging a one woman boycott of Walmart. Yes, in fact,
Speaker 2: Ashley is not going to be shopping at Walmart in period.
Speaker 2: No Walmart in the country, none of them ever again. Okay,
Speaker 2: do you have that kind of commitment to your boycott?
Speaker 2: Can you vow to never shopping an establishment ever again?
Speaker 2: Are a scott paper tower being ten sixty eight for
Speaker 2: twelve rolls too great a deal to pass up?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: If it is, then you can always do what Ashley
Speaker 2: did because it's guaranteed Ashley will never step foot in
Speaker 2: any Walmart ever again. And I lie, it's not because
Speaker 2: she's boycotting Walmart. It's actually because Walmart is boycotting her.
Speaker 2: What do you mean, Uncle, Sharla, Walmart is boycotting her. Well,
Speaker 2: let's go to new Channel three for the report.
Speaker 5: Police Ashley Cross charged with criminal trespass and theft of merchandise. Is,
Speaker 5: according to the police report, a well known shoplifter at
Speaker 5: this Walmart on Elvis Presley Boulevard in Whitehaven, so well
Speaker 5: known to Walmart that Cross is on an Authorization of
Speaker 5: Agency list, meaning she's banned from any Walmart location in
Speaker 5: the United States. The Elvis Presley Boulevard stores where Cross
Speaker 5: and another suspect were arrested February tenth, Cross was seen
Speaker 5: unisying and devised to scan her items for one dollar
Speaker 5: at a self checkout machine.
Speaker 6: Ashley Cross remains in jail on a seventy five hundred
Speaker 6: dollars bond. She is due back in court February nineteenth.
Speaker 6: The suspect with Cross received a misdemeanor citation for theft
Speaker 6: of property.
Speaker 2: Oh, she already with the court. I wonder what happened, Listen.
Speaker 2: I used to shoplift up until twenty sixteenth. Okay, that's
Speaker 2: when I stopped shoplifting. But I didn't, you know, feel
Speaker 2: like I was stealing because nine.
Speaker 1: Years ago you had a little money.
Speaker 3: Nine years ago, are you still stealing?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: But I didn't feel like he was stealing because I
Speaker 2: didn't try to hide anything I would walk in and
Speaker 2: you know, take what I want to just walk out.
Speaker 1: You only get caught when you look suspicious, you know.
Speaker 2: Plus I never really stole anything but magazines, you know,
Speaker 2: when I was young, like Black and Miles, twelve packs
Speaker 2: of butt light, random stuff like that. But Ashley is
Speaker 2: clearly a kleptomaniac. And she's good because she was using
Speaker 2: a bar code from an old watch battery to scan
Speaker 2: all her items for just one dollar to self checkout.
Speaker 1: I stand a creative thief.
Speaker 2: Okay, y'all still stealing like flintstones actually out here like
Speaker 2: a jetson with it. Or maybe this is the normal
Speaker 2: way to shoplift. Now, I don't steal anymore, so I
Speaker 2: wouldn't know. But Ashley stole eleven packs of Ramen noodles,
Speaker 2: women's boots, a pair of jeans, and a T shirt,
Speaker 2: all totaling one hundred and thirty seven dollars and thirty
Speaker 2: four cents. Now, this woman was clearly stealing essentials. Okay,
Speaker 2: these are reasonable things to steal. Ramen noodles, boots, clothes,
Speaker 2: I understand. In America. I'm gonna tell you something you
Speaker 2: don't want to hear. There's gonna be a lot more
Speaker 2: of this. Why because during America's inflation crisis, Walmart was
Speaker 2: the spot Okay, you can get good deals all types
Speaker 2: of essentials. But on yesterday, Walmart said things are about
Speaker 2: to get slow because consumers are growing increasingly frustrated with
Speaker 2: inflation and they're concerned about President Trump's taffs. Basically, folks
Speaker 2: being broke, and if people keep losing their jobs, they
Speaker 2: will be broken.
Speaker 1: And if you are the reason.
Speaker 2: Okay people are losing their jobs, like Elon Musk and
Speaker 2: Donald Trump are in regards the federal workers, and you're
Speaker 2: putting tariffs on items. Not only do I not have
Speaker 2: a job, things are going to be even more expensive.
Speaker 1: So what am I going to resort to doing?
Speaker 2: I tell you what people will resort to doing trying
Speaker 2: to survive, and trying to survive can look like a
Speaker 2: number of things, and sometimes one of those things is shoplifted.
Speaker 2: I'm not making excuses for Ashley. I'm just telling America
Speaker 2: what the inevitable is when you don't take care of
Speaker 2: the least of us. Nevertheless, Ashley crosses on Walmart's authorization
Speaker 2: of agency lists, which prohibits her from entering any Walmart
Speaker 2: store across the country. I didn't know such a list existed,
Speaker 2: but Ashley is on it, and she is currently well
Speaker 2: not don't even know if currently, but she was being
Speaker 2: held on the seventy five hundred dollars bond, probably still.
Speaker 1: In it, she's probably still looking it. Because if you
Speaker 1: ain't had.
Speaker 2: One hundred and thirty four dollars to get these items
Speaker 2: form Walmart, you damn sure ain't got the seventy five
Speaker 2: hundred dollars bond all to ten percent of seven hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty dollars to get out. But some donkey of
Speaker 2: the days just sell themselves. Please give Ashley Cross the
Speaker 2: sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
Speaker 4: You oh the day, ye oh the day.
Speaker 2: Ye I know, it's just you feel bad for now.
Speaker 2: You don't feel bad for her. She's a repeat offender.
Speaker 2: She could have got a job.
Speaker 3: Or maybe the first offense put something on her record
Speaker 3: and she couldn't get the job.
Speaker 1: That is true too, but she stole from there a lot.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you switch it up?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: This is gonna sound bad, but no you ever you
Speaker 3: ever be in so check out and be feeling like this.
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have to pay for this stuff, like some
Speaker 3: of this stuff is old to me, Like maybe she
Speaker 3: felt like that.
Speaker 1: No I don't. I felt like that.
Speaker 2: And that's what happens when you still wiggle, When you
Speaker 2: still wiggle, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You get what?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You so lucky you were still in when your face
Speaker 3: was two different colors, because they wouldn't have recognized you from
Speaker 3: me to side.
Speaker 1: That is true. That is very true.
Speaker 2: If you if I'm on camera in twenty sixteen, that's
Speaker 2: not me.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not me. It's not the same person.
