The 19-year-old admitted to setting two fires in the store after midnight to serve as a diversion. Police say that she was visible on surveillance cameras setting a rack of jeans and some birdseed on fire.
Setting birdseed on fire is more complex than we would have thought: Walmart had to call in experts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to determine which items on the animal-feed shelf were safe to sell.

Our story doesn’t end with a shopping spree montage and slow motion footage of the man making it rain cash, however, but not for lack of trying: WGME.com says that a homeless man had filled up shopping bags full of cash from a glitchy ATM in Portland before police arrived and yes, made him give it back.
According to the police, a woman called the police at about 5:30 a.m. one morning to report that a man was spending a lot of time at the ATM while she was waiting to use it.
When police showed up at saw him stuffing cash into shopping bags, they realized it was the same man who’d been sleeping in the ATM vestibule earlier and had been told to move along.
Apparently the man had used his bank card to withdraw $140 and then decided to just keep going and take out more.
“And it gave it to him,” said a police lieutenant. The bank decided it was a glitch, and won’t be pressing charges. At least we got to keep the candy, so that story still wins.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney didn’t come out and condemn Samsung, but clearly wasn’t thrilled that Samsung was using his boss’s image in a promotional capacity. “As a rule the White House objects to attempts to use the president’s likeness for commercial purposes,” he told reporters, according to the Wall Street Journal. “And we certainly object in this case.”
Carney didn’t specify whether White House lawyers have made their displeasure known to Samsung in a more formal capacity.
Here’s the original tweet, and a link to Samsung’s retweet that the White House is unhappy with.
What an honor! Thanks for the #selfie, @BarackObama http://t.co/y5Ww74sEID—

The Power Live has been resurrected by a California designer with a penchant for turning movie products that exist onscreen into real products, like the soap from Fight Club. Although in this case, the Power Glove was a real-life product as well, but I digress.
It’s a different story this time around, with the Power Oven Mitt that yes, looks just like the Nintendo glove everyone was obsessed with in The Wizards. After he made a few mitts that proved popular, the designer put the idea up on crowdfunding site IndieGogo and successfully raised more than $20,000, reports Reviewed.com, with 32 days still to go on the campaign.
You’ll have to keep an eye on this if you want it — the designer says on his page that he doesn’t “plan to make a million of these things, so if you want one, this is your chance to get one..”
Are you listening, Savage? Or have had you had enough of the Power Glove to last a lifetime?

A Kurt Salmon report on the 2014 peak-season shipping reveals that one in three packages promised for Christmas delivery didn’t make it in time.
Kurt Salmon, a global management consulting firm, found that 15% of the more than 175 online orders in the study that were guaranteed to be delivered by Christmas did not reach their destination in time. Nearly, 83% of the delays occurred with expedited one- and two-day shipments.
And while many consumers rushed to blame carriers like UPS and FedEx, more often than not the delays were the result of poor management of the fulfillment process or inventory issues.
Nearly 40% of issues stemmed from a failure to upgrade an order’s shipping status.
One retailer processed a ship-from-store order on December 19 for standard ground shipping, but the shipment was going from California to Connecticut, and the store staff failed to ensure that the shipping method would guarantee on-time delivery.
Another frequent issue occurred when the retailer turned packages over to the carrier a day late, but did not appropriately upgrade the shipment type to ensure that the parcels made it to their destinations according to the customers’ selected timetable.
Even with the highly publicized shipping issues retailers were able to, for the most part, plan and execute last-minute holiday shipping campaigns.
Successful retailers actively examined and constantly readjusted fulfillment strategies to minimize problems during peak selling periods.
“More importantly, they implicitly understand that many consumers shop later in the holiday season and that they must devote equal energy to serving these customers as they do to those who prefer to get their shopping done earlier,” the report states.
Online retailers looking to the future, specifically the 2014 holiday season, should consider fine-tuning their omnichannel strategy, management of the shipping process, carrier relationships and forecasting.

The station’s fans include a much more diverse range of people than you might think, most of whom are well under eighty years old. They also have satellite radio subscriptions so they can listen to the stations that they pay for in the car.
Katie called to complain, and SiriusXM had a new offer for people unhappy with the programming change: if she likes ’40s on 4 so much, they can just suspend her subscription for the three months it’s off the air. Some people might think this is a fair compromise, but Katie isn’t one of ‘em.
Her subscription would be on “a total blackout and then restart service on June 26,” Katie writes. “This reminded me more of a punishment to a child, for complaining about what I was promised was taken from me ….therefore they are taking everything away.”
Katie’s subscription was paid up through the end of 2014. She didn’t like SiriusXM’s proposed compromise, so she asked to cancel her subscription instead. She wasn’t set up with credit card auto-renewals, so she doesn’t have to worry about her account going zombie and SiriusXM charging her again later on.

Additionally, the wireless provider says it will give new customers up to $300 in trade-in credit for their current phones.
The ETF reimbursement comes in the form of a Visa Prepaid Card that will come 10 to 12 weeks after making the switch to Sprint, so people who take advantage of the deal will need to be able to afford to wait upwards of three months to get that money back — and be aware that it’s not money that is easily put back in their bank accounts.
According to Sprint, the offer starts today and runs through May 8, and is only available through Sprint stores or the Sprint.com website. New customers will need to register with Sprint and provide their final bill from the old wireless carrier in order to receive the reimbursement.
The Framily plans start at $55/month for one person. That gets the subscriber unlimited talk and text, and access to 1GB of data a month. Each person that joins a “Framily” group brings down the monthly base price by $5, with each member getting a base allotment of 1GB of data. Individual users can pay additional fees for more data without affecting the other group members’ plans. Additionally, everyone is responsible for their own bill.
Fans (Frans?) of the plan say it’s more flexible and affordable than competitors’ shared-data plans, while critics point to Sprint’s smaller footprint and relatively slow rollout of higher-speed networks.
Surprise, y’all!
Uncle Bubba’s Seafood & Oyster House in Savannah, GA was the defendant in a lawsuit from employees claiming the restaurant fostered a racist environment. During the course of that suit, Deen, a co-owner along with her brother, the “Bubba” part of the equation, admitted to using racist language, and saw her business deals with retailers vanish as a result.
The restaurant is closed as of yesterday, it said in a statement.
“Since its opening in 2004, Uncle Bubba’s Oyster House has been a destination for residents and tourists in Savannah, offering the region’s freshest seafood and oysters. However, the restaurant’s owner and operator, Bubba Hiers, has made the decision to close the restaurant in order to explore development options for the waterfront property on which the restaurant is located. At this point, no specific plans have been announced and a range of uses are under consideration in order realize the highest and best use for the property.”
WSAV-TV spoke to several workers who say they didn’t get any formal notification that the restaurant had permanently closed, and others reportedly said as much on the restaurant’s Facebook page. That page is no longer up.
To that end, the Savannah Morning News says one such post from someone who said she’d worked there for seven years: “I’ve been water works all a.m. I’ve worked there since I was 16. I woke up this a.m. to no job and no forewarning.”
According to that media outlet, employees were collecting their severance checks in the restaurant’s parking lot yesterday morning.
