Amusing article about having your reciept signed and the like at retailers. Makes some good points, actually.

Or you can not shop there. Which is what I do, but that does seem to stop them either. From the page: "Here's a scenario that is familiar to anyone who has ever set foot in Wal-Mart, CVS, Rite-Aid, or any of a dozen other major retailers. After you have made a purchase, collected your bags, or packed everything into a shopping cart, you head for the exit. Just as you approach freedom an alarm sounds (usually a sequence of ugly, electronic grunts) and a robotic voice (always female) announces: ā€oePlease return to the checkout.¯ Other customers immediately look in your direction, and an employee begins to approach you. What's your next move? If you possess an ounce of personal pride or perhaps two ounces of fortitude, then the 100 percent correct move is to proceed immediately out the door."

unfortunately quantum shifts are really tiny, sure they're what makes any shift possible but they are tiny

I've always loved standing in a line ten deep at Rite Aid just because they have a 4:1 ratio of security guards to cashiers!

it's like cd copy protection on games and the like... who is it punishing? the people who pay for it. in the same way that pirates will be the people enjoying games without having to insert their cd every time and all the other annoyances these people can come up with, people who are actually stealing are not going to set the damn alarm off & you're not going to find out anything by checking their receipt when they exit the store. it's ridiculous & i'd really love to know how many thieves they've ever caught with this method.

I think I have figured a trick out for this and always ask for everything I have bought to be bagged.Even if it is a big bag of dog food or something. I too am insulted and want to keep walking but the guilt of giving the poor person who has to ask for my receipt a hard time overcomes me.

Thank you!!! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that finds this absurd and insulting.
