He doesn't look like he needs the assistance

Get your ass out of there and walk, save the scooter for someone who needs it.

Obviously this was a short clip but these guys look like they were doing more loitering and goofing off than shopping. Is that against Walmart policy? Is there video actually showing them doing something illegal? I guess they looked threatening and up to no good without actually doing anything threatening.

I don't know wth I'm even looking at.
