Well, this movie came out in 2000; I worked in a supermarket (not Walmart, but a state-wide chain in my home state) from 1997 - 1999.

And I can tell you, we had cameras covering the doorways of the store as well as the "front end"-- the cashiers/check-out area --but there were not cameras all throughout the interior of the store; it is easy for us, in 2018, to think that EVERYTHING is covered by closed-circuit cameras, but there was a time, 20 years ago, when not everything was (and even back then, many businesses were using videotape [VHS] surveillance, so there was a limit to what could be recorded).

As far as the stock boys, it would seem that would be a tougher one for Novalee to avoid; but again, at least in my store, the stockers only stocked the grocery shelves at night; at the other end of the store, where the perishables departments where (bakery/meat/produce/deli), the stockers didn't go there; those areas where stocked by the individual departments during the day.

I didn't find those parts of the movie that unbelievable; I thought the movie was rather enjoyable, and would give it a 3 out of 5.

That makes sense now. She could've just avoided it all if she was careful.
