If you don't want to your property inspected, don't take it onto their private property.

  Most of in store losses are from employee theft.

It's a tie between internal theft and operational errors. Of course this varies based on location. But in general for big box stores losses are 40% internal theft, 40% operational error, and 20% external theft.

This post, right here.



They do these things not to piss of customers but because theft is huge. People have no idea how bad theft is at Wal-mart.  I tell people that any time you enter a Wal-mart there is someone stealing.

When it happened to me ( note I was carrying 2 cases of clay pigeons), I told the old lady, if they suspect I stole something, their loss prevention people should confront me. She followed me 200 yards out in the parking lot berating me.

I laughed at her and got in my truck and drove off.

Got similar treatment at Farm and Fleet.  Walked into the store and set the scanners off.  Nobody cared.  Left and set them off again.  I even stopped and let the manager look at my recepit and bags.  

She demanded I turn out my pockets.  I declined.  She demanded to know what the large bulges under my shirt, near my hip were.  I told her they were my gun and knife.  (A Glock 20 and full sized Ka-bar).  The conversation ended.

Just because I am on someone's property does not give them the right to inspect my belongings. You can put "own" in quotes, but it doesn't change the fact that after the transaction is complete I own those items 100%. That I am an invited guest on their private property makes not one bit of difference. So no, they don't have the right me or my belongings.

Agreed.

The Wal Mart haters should write to the CEO of Wal Mart.  Tell the CEO to, "get bent."  Wait to see if the policy changes.

It seems to me, that a lot of posters just like to puff-up infront of the lesser wage earners.

That being said..........

I'd like to caution some of the people who make those snide remarks to the receipt checker person (who is just doing their job) that in most jurisdictions (by law) the store security and/or store personnel have the authority to "detain/investigate suspected shoplifters and call the police where/when approiate."   It's just a matter of a court ruling, one way or the other, if the mere act of refusing to show a receipt, is enough to cover the store/security personnel to "detain and further investigate someone for possible shoplifting."  

And, when you think about it....say that the security officer wanted to issue you a trespass warning.  Doesn't it make sense that the security ID you?  I know, I know......"I don't need to show anyone a stinking ID card."  

So anyway, the case needs to make national headlines.

I just hope that someone else doesn't have to get their leg broken just to prove a point over this receipt checking practice.  BTW, I know that the Costco incident was more complex than just about checking for a receipt.  But, it did make national headlines and got people thinking.

But they don't have that right, even if you do bring it onto their property (I don't recall any sign that says they reserve the right to inspect persons/packages, and even then if I'm not mistaken doesn't actually carry as much legal weight as most people think it does).

They have the right to ask you to show them your receipt and if you refuse, they have the right to tell you to leave.

Our Wal-Mart has been hit by a bunch of thievery lately, lots of recent security.  Normally, the guards only want to see your papers if you have something not bagged.  That is still a PITA, but their store, their rules and all that shit.  Lately, they are checking every time anyone walks through the exit door.  Tonight, I had to wait in line for one of the two registers who were trying to set a record for the slowest MoFo's on the planet for ringing you out.  Then, this dude was at the exit holding everybody up checking EVERY GOD DAMNED ITEM in their basket against the receipt...  I went around the exit line and began to walk out the door.  "Excuse me, Sir! Can I see your receipt?" I hear as I pass the line...  Me: "No!", and continued walking.  No further incident.  But the entire thing is starting to piss me off.

Questions
-Where did I miss that I get to be patted down when I leave the fucking WalMart?
-What makes "No" the wrong answer?
-Why don't they just holler 'Papers, Please!"?
-If there are only two registers, two bouncers, and one open door; why doesn't WM just put one guard on the registers so the Nazis can watch your shit be rung up, and the other roam the floor instead of holding you up at the exit line?

Fuck Costco and BJ"S, I have somehow managed to enjoy life without spending money in their stores so far.

If don't do business with places whose policies disrespect me or waste my time and I actually laughed out loud at you're "he's just doing his job" comment.

Disrespecting people for a living deserves the same in return, so what if he's probably too stupid to realize why people don't appreciate that kind of treatment.

I never allow them to check my receipt and purchases. If they want to accuse me of stealing something then they should get it done and see who ends up regretting their actions.


If you don't stand up to it then you're only encouraging more  of it.

Asking to check your receipt is not treating you like a thief.
Tackling you and calling the cops would fall under that category.

OP is one of those people that's above the rules, and whose time is more important than everyone else's.

Give the guy making min wage a break, if you want to be a total self righteous DBAG, go scream at the store manager about "their" policies that you don't want to follow.

Anybody who ever lived in a large enough city, got used to this aspect of retail YEARS ago. This isn't a new thing folks.

Costco and Walmart are two totally different things. There is a membership agreement at Costco that every member agrees to that states that they will be checking receipts at the door. No such agreement exists at Walmart. Once a customer at Walmart has paid for the goods, the items belong to the customer, and Walmart has no right to examine their receipt.

I see no point and hassling employees, and a simple "no, thank you" would suffice.  However, if you believe your bought and paid for items are subject search and seizure due to being on private property, I believe that sets a bad precedent for other things.  

I.e. : "Sir, we need to pat you down, and will confiscate any weapons found."

But, I'm a low post count '13er and don't know anything

I heard a black guy shouting, "No!  I know the real reason why you want to check it!"  Or WSTTE.

I always just tell them "No thank you" and keep walking.  One of these days if they catch me in the right mood I'm going to do  "These are not the droids you're looking for."  I'm not going to be rude to them, but there is nothing at Walmart that says I have to let them check my receipt.

Welcome to check my receipt provided that I am in  no rush and you're not slowing me down.


However, stores like that need to get more monitors rather than checkout LP's.

I imagine that's what the thief says but the employee should know only the thief would be the one stealing.

I follow the TSA checkpoint way of showing I'm not a thief / terrorist.  Shop in  flip flops and a speedo showing there is no place for you to hide a weapon or stolen merchandise.

I usually just hand it to them and keep walking.  I'm just going to throw it away when I get home, might as well let them throw it away.
