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. > Sam's minion could compare the contents of their shopping carts to their > receipts.

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. -- Cheers, Bev ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like liberals do.

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. > 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.
