CORSICANA, Texas (AP) — Authorities say a teenager lived undetected at a 24-hour Wal-Mart in Texas for a couple of days after running away from his aunt's home.

Store employees in Corsicana, about 50 miles south of Dallas, eventually discovered the 14-year-old boy and two living quarters he had carved out behind boxes along the aisles of the store.

KTVT-TV in Dallas/Fort Worth reports (http://cbsloc.al/1p639vt ) the boy pilfered food and drinks from the store. He reportedly changed clothes periodically to avoid detection.

Corsicana police in a statement Wednesday say the boy was visiting his aunt in Corsicana when he ran away July 28. He was found two days later at the store.

Police say the teen, from nearby Rice, has a history of running away, tending to hide in abandoned homes and businesses.



I wonder if he got the idea from King of the Hill, there was an episode where their spokesman a singer/ musician was hiding in a hidden compartment in the TP section.
Some articles say 2 some say 4 days.

This was like my dream as a kid. Living in a grocery store or a super walmart. Can't beat it.

I can't stand to be in walmart for more than 30 minutes.

Was he hiding that long or just stuck in a checkout line?

One of my first jobs was night cleaner in a shopping mall running the big floor scrubbers (and sneaking free food out of the food court).

I can't speak for others but I worked night crew in a big grocery store in Toronto for a couple weeks and basically you realize what a machine this big world is.

All the stuff that comes in on trucks and then they plant about 20 skids of product at the top of the aisles and a team of maybe a dozen people cut the saran wrap off and go to town refilling everything. Time ends up going by super slow as in, you think you've been working for 2 hours but it's only been 20 minutes. Horrible!!!!!

It's not creepy it's depressing. You really get a feel for the way the world works and what we're all slaving away for, which is basically to sell commodities at high volumes to masses of zombies which is me and you.

This one store in this one big city has how many grocery stores doing the same thing overnight every night? 30? 100? So many boxes of a certain cracker, or a jug of Tide, a slab of cheese. Horded up the next day to be refilled every night. Manufactured in China.

That's what I'd really like to experience. Working in a factory in China just for a week, just to really comprehend our reality, it's incredibly interesting. Or working in an Amazon distribution facility, I bet that's a f***ed up experience too.

It was during the winter when you just see the snow drifting outside and when the building is empty you could hear the wind blowing.

Well.... for a few years I did truck driving and delivered all that s***. Trailers full of everything from groceries to car parts.

You must have had an awesome team, because at my Target, we rarely finished on time. I got a ton of overtime thanks to it. It helps that we had some equipment that malfunctioned from time to time.
