I don't think I've ever seen a kid that age have such a brazen chip on his shoulder towards "authority" but he was obviously emulating his mother in all things. Also, I believe stores like Wal Mart have "loss prevention" security that are there to prevent loss and passively reduce shoplifting, not really secure the place.
I used to work operations and security for a sports team and we sold lots of beer and it was a situation where people are divided into different factions identifiable by sight; security was needed, mostly because of the nature of the business (and the organization made money on, and promoted such acrimony). Wal Mart? They only seem guilty of bringing people into close quarters, which does indeed lead to fights...but I don't think they are culpable outside of that. Ugh, I just defended Wal Mart.
You are correct about Wal-Mart's loss prevention. They typically have a small team that will be wandering the store (or in their office which is usually in one of the entranceways in case you wondered about those doors ever) and they watch both employees and shoppers. They aren't going to break up a fight, though, not their thing.
