TopherGZ discovered 5 weeks ago- A good write-up on why you do not need to show your receipt at WAl-Mart, Costco, Sam's Club or any other receipt-checking store.

- Very interesting view. I didn't see it that way before. But I CAN understand that things like checking receipts - though they may sound reasonable - can be very insulting when viewed dispassionately. As an aside, I've managed a retail store myself for 10 months, and happen to know that 80-90% of all shrinkage (read theft), is internal by store employees.

- Damn, this was meant to be a last quick stumble before bed. Unfortunately I ende up reading the damn thing twice AND laughing at his sinus infection - twice. I was once stopped by Tescos staff because I walked through one of their silly barrier things the wrong way, holding a school textbook I had carried in with me. Wow am I the big scary shoplifter type. TangMonkey, it is the organisation's fault, and the employees are part of the organisation. Tough Titty.

- [[[ People, the company is at fault, NOT the employees, this guy is an asshole for mistreating employees instead of fighting the company. End of story ]]] To the author: Seriously, if you have a problem with store policy don't take it up with the minimum wage paid receipt checker, take it up with the corporation that legislates these rules. I'm usually a pretty open minded guy, but in all honesty, sir, what you're doing is pure harassment. I feel sorry for the elderly man you made run to the back of the store. Yes, the receipt checking may be an indirect way of insinuating that you may be a shoplifter, which you probably aren't, but you are indeed guilty of another crime which is punishable with jail time. If you did end up ever having a police officer show up, he would have every right to place you in handcuffs for disturbing the peace, and/or trespassing (what I'd get you for if I was a manager in such a store under such circumstances). Your article is purely Anarchistic and abusive. You are on private property, and as such the owners of said property also have rights. You feel that because you spend hundreds of dollars and look down on Wal-Mart and their customers you deserve to pay on your own terms. Does that mean that when you take out a loan, since you're paying so much money, you get to pay back the loan in any interval and amount at your leisure? There are repercussions to your self-righteous behavior. I can already see you in the news headlines "Man Defiant To Show Receipt Strikes Employee At Wal-mart". You aren't a saint, you probably aren't very intelligent, and the day when you get a little too opinionated and strike the middle aged woman desperate to keep her job who refuses to let you leave the store without checking your receipt comes...well I only hope the jail time you'll serve will soften your standoffish behavior. I'm not saying you're entirely wrong, I'm saying your approach is.

- Love it. Don't be inconvenienced by mega-stores' loss prevention policies.

- Costco is one of my favorite stores too. Part of your membership agreement states that you agree to show your receipt before leaving the store. Do I think it's stupid? ...yep, but I agreed to do it so I do. At all other stores unless the receipt is still in my hand I just leave. There are cameras at every damn register and half the time the receipt checker was 10 feet away observing me paying for my items. No way am I playing into that kind of stupidity. As far as those idiotic door alarms go...I ignore them completely.

- Store owners don't have a "right" to check your receipt. But they also don't have to permit you to shop at the store. So pick your battles.

- From the page: "Itâ€s an unpleasant fact of life that sometimes we must shop at Wal-Mart" I highly disagree with this statement--I haven't been to Wal-Mart in years, and can't foresee that I ever will... and I'm poor. Otherwise, by all means, buck bullshit authority whenever you get the chance.

- it's quite funny how many morons are so willing to bend over and comply...just scan through these comment pages.
