ATTALLA, Alabama (AP) -- Shoppers entering the Wal-Mart Supercenter here got a reminder not to try anything funny: Two shoplifters stood outside with signs reading, "I am a thief; I stole from Wal-Mart."

I think this is a GREAT punishment.

Yep I think that they should do that kind of stuff more often.....public shows of humiliation.....maybe if young kids were forced to do that kind of stuff when they "start" out their life of crime then they would not keep at it

Outside the store, she said people who saw her wearing the sandwich board commented that the punishment was "cruel."
If I was Wal Marts manager I'd be keeping a special watch on anyone who thought the punishment was cruel, I would think they are imagining themselves being caught shoplifting, most people would think "You got what was coming to you ", shoplifters would think, "Geez what if I get caught".
