I'll go the extra step of holding it out at arms length if they want to run and catch up, and they can even take it (and keep it) unless I'm buying something expensive enough that I might want to return it, but I'm not stopping. As previously mentioned, I've already spent enough time waiting in their damn line.

I always say "no thanks" and just keep walking. I'm not trying to make a scene or be difficult. Sometimes there's a uniformed LEO there and they couldn't care less. I'd bet there's more loss from thieving employees than shoplifters anyway. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile There is DEFINITELY more loss from employees that customers. |

last time they did that to me I went right back to customer service and received a full refund.
They see me coming now, they say have a nice day. I really hate it when they make me feel that I lifted something. |

I don't see the issue.
I offer my receipt freely for them to inspect. So far, no receipt checker at Walmart has ever wanted to actually inspect it. There are so many other things in life to get worked up over, but showing the folks at the Walmart exit that I'm neither a thief nor looking to make their crap job any worse doesn't seem to be a windmill worth tilting at. |

I'd do the same as you OP. What a waste.
I also always keep walking when the door alarms go off. If someone wants to chase me down, so be it I paid for it. Always find it funny that people stand there and wait for someone to give them the ok to leave the store when that happens. |

Considering most of the people doing that are elderly, and just trying to make ends meet and/or have something to do instead of sit stagnant and die, I kindly oblige and show them, because I was taught to respect the elderly and all other people I interact with in society until I am done an actual wrong.
I doubt your life is that packed full of importance that you can't at least just deal with it. Put the blame on the thieves, not the person working for a living. Grow the fuck up. |

Wallyworld is a fucking shithole. That is what you get treated like when you shop in a shithole.
Having said that, I will go there occasionally if they have something that is a good enough deal to put up with the shithole. I go in fully expecting to have a horrible experience though. |

 You still shop at Walmart?
Personally, I'm done with them. They squeeze suppliers for the lowest price until they go out of business, then move on to the next. Yes, it's a free market and they're free to conduct business that way if they want, but I'm also free to not shop there. I'll pay extra to shop somewhere else and avoid the doorway Gestapo at the same time. Good on you for bypassing the receipt Nazis, OP.

We used to check every customers receipt at the store where I work. It was incredibly effective at catching errors and deterring theft. People being assholes to the checkers isn't what stopped it... The reasonable people calling in complaints are what got it stopped.
So if you want Walmart to stop, just go to the website and put in a complaint. Being a dick to the security guy isn't going to change anything. Or just shop somewhere else. That's what I do when a store pisses me off. |
