    • I can guarantee you 5x the worth of those goods he was carrying was already stolen that day. :laugh1:

    • If he used self-checkout, it would be entirely possible for him, or anyone else, to have stolen something.

    I have no issue with presenting my receipt, in fact, I offer it to the person at the door as a courtesy, sometimes they look at it, sometimes they don't.  If you've ever been a retailer, as I have, you'll know that shoplifting is a serious problem, and you will have people who just saunter out the door with items.  There are some people who view it almost as an entitlement.

    true, I don't mind giving a receipt for a gaggle of goods. But I rarely go to Walley-world, anyway.

    • I never show the receipt, even when asked.  I just walk on by, like I'm deaf.  They have cameras all over the place.  They don't need to see your receipt.

    • I went to Walmart on Saturday afternoon, had to offer it up. I find receipt checking intrusive and offensive. They assume I’m a thief. 
    It has become an exercise in futility. While the security guy was checking to make sure I paid for the two gallons of white vinegar, four bags of cat litter, and value pack of Little Friskies, (chicken chunks with extra gravy), ten others could have disappeared into the parking lot with thousands of dollars of stolen merchandise.

    • With the full cart scanning happening now at SAMS, I doubt human receipt scanning will be around much longer.
