There's stuff I buy at Costco, stuff I buy at Sam's, stuff I buy at
Walmart, Stuff I buy at Smart&Final, Stuff I buy at Trader Joe's, stuff
I buy at the 99-Cents-Only Store, stuff I buy at Ralph's... If Mom+Pop
stores want to survive they'll have to do something that the big box
stores can't, which is unfortunately getting more and more difficult..
I'm really sorry to see them go, but liife goes on.

They don't actually compare, they just pretend. You agree to it if you
join. The solution is simple if you don't wish to participate in this
form of security theater.
 
Costco actually used to check, and one of them found something that was
NOT on my receipt, and I was really pissed because the checker missed it.
 
Costco and Sam's are the same, just slightly different. Costco is
slightly ckeaper. NEITHER of them carries that good Stagg chili any
more, and 'Cattle Drive' sucks badly.

Citations please...
 
Nobody agrees to anything like that at Walmart. And there is no
indication at the store entrance or anywhere in the store that they
will inspect your receipt when you are trying to leave.

More likely because that's just the way you are.

Ann Coulter also says that women shouldn't have been given the right to
vote.
