I don't know where you live, but I've been in many Walmarts in the U.S. and they have private security who are never posted at the exit that I've ever seen. Mostly they just sit in an office and watch security cameras.
I've definitely seen actual cops standing at the front of the store. They're also there every day and park their cars up front in the fire lane.
Maybe you've seen it, but it's not common in my experience.
I just traveled across four states and, because of the bad weather, we stopped at Walmarts along the way so my elderly mother could walk around and stretch her legs.
Not one cop.
Where I live they have cops in cop cars and special 'law enforcement partner' parking closer than the nearest handicapped space. Its great.
Posadism looks better every day.
