Personal Shopper Says He Was Falsely Accused of Stealing

An Illinois man says a viral video of him at the self-checkout at Walmart has ruined his reputation. Bill Astle does appear to be putting all these items directly into his bag without scanning any of them. However, the 49-year-old man says he is not a thief. Turns out, Astle is a personal shopper. To save time, he used the Walmart app to scan each item on his phone as he took them off the shelves. Then, when he got to the checkout, he just needed to scan his phone for the entire purchase.
