Interesting Article about WALMART RECEIPT CHECKS..What are your rights?
I get SO ANNOYED BY THESE CHECKS. Turns out there are very strict rules for determining probable cause for shoplifting. For the most part, legally you can say NO and walk on out. But my deeper question is, are we somehow being conditioned to accept these warrant-less searches? Is there some deeper agenda behind this other than shrink control? What are your thoughts? I know I hate to be a dick to a 75 yo making 10/hr but I'm getting sick of these searches personally. It just struck me though that perhaps it is more than Walmart trying to cut its losses from shoplifting.

In Theory, the right to check your cart and receipt in COSTCO is part of your membership agreement. Walmart on the other hand has no membership agreement. Not an issue of manning up, just feel back for the poor 80yo they have doing this shit.

Re: Interesting Article about WALMART RECEIPT CHECKS..What are your rights?
They have cop parking places (more than one) in front of the store and frequently an off duty cop is by the door. To the cretin cop, refusing to show receipt and making a fuss constitutes "disturbing the peace". Yes, the nazi cops side with walmart. If you have Perry Mason on retainer, you might stand up for your rights, otherwise, be prepared to get your ass kicked.

Why don't they get more of these "greeters" and make them help load your cart so they can clear your purchase before you leave the cashier?

Or why don't you push your cart to a lane by the cashier, the cashier empties your cart as he/she checks it, and then returns your cart to you?
I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you.

Re: Interesting Article about WALMART RECEIPT CHECKS..What are your rights?
I have to admit that, not long ago, there was something in the bottom of my basket that didn't get checked. It wasn't much, but it would have been a real hassel if they'd found that it wasn't paid for. It was never my intention to steal it, it was just covered up by some large objects that they scanned in my cart.

You might stop and ask yourself why they have to check everyone.

Aside from the obvious shrink problems, if they only check those that look shady then they will look like racists a vast majority of the time.

You don’t have to be a dick about it, just say “no thanks” and leave. I’m not required to show my receipt, so I’m not going to.

This is true.

There security is watching them on camera and making sure they are on the ball. If they don't check someone they hear about it in that little earpiece they are wearing.

Me and the old lady had separate purchases mine were in the bags in my hand and hers were in the cart. They checked my receipt and looked in the cart and said ok. They are usually just going through the motions.

There was just an article about Costco doing the same.

But they say it is to make sure YOU the consumer are not getting ripped off.

Bullshit, because if you don't check your receipts, you more or less deserve what you get.

Come With Receipts
When Costco asks to check your receipt, it’s not because they think you’re stealing
There's more going on here than theft prevention.

I had one who got in front of my cart refusing to let me leave and I told her if she didn't let me go I was calling the police.
