| John Doe <always.look@message.header>: Nov 07 04:55PM Does Walmart inspect your receipt when you are leaving the store? The closest Wal-mart here does. They have been doing that for about a decade. Seems to me they should post a sign(s) at the entrance with regard to that, but they don't. I'm getting tired of it, planning to go out of my way to avoid Walmart for a while. Even if it means traveling miles across the food desert... I see the sheep lining up at the exit to Walmart in order to get their receipt inspected before they leave. I just can't do that. I suppose one could refuse the inspection. Their only recourse being to disallow your entrance to the store. But that hassle isn't worth it IMO. |

The one I go to used to have someone visually checking carts as they left, asking for a receipt for un-bagged items. Then a year or two ago they stopped even doing that. Now there is no one obviously checking at the exit, except sometimes a greeter (goodbyer?) wishing everyone leaving a nice day or whatever (and likely still doing that visual check). -- You know it's time to clean the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside. |
| 21blackswan@gmail.com: Nov 08 09:22AM -0800 they have someone there to "go through the motions" of inspecting your goods, but they don't/can't really do a thorough job i think it's more of a "deterrent" than really trying to catch shoplifters in the last few years, they seem to have cut back on looking at receipts, but i've seen a few "greeters" marc |

Golly, who'd have thought it possible: An ignorant top-posting twit masquerading as "mommy" trawling through ACF-L.

I agree with you on that one but, unfortunately, in many communities it now is impractical, if not impossible for some items, to avoid shopping at Wallyworld thanks, in large part, to Wallyworld -- in concert with other "big box" stores -- and their brutally predatory "competition". To OP's point, I had the experience sometime in the late '90's but it was because I was leaving the store with an item too large to bag. Gratuitous Aside: In 2000, while comparison shopping automobile tires, I toured a Sam's Club to determine whether it could ever possibly be worth actually _paying_ someone just to shop in his store and there witnessed customers dutifully lining up like cattle in a chute so that a Sam's minion could compare the contents of their shopping carts to their receipts. It didn't seem to matter to any of them that the items being "verified" already belonged to _them_! -- Derald They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -B.
