If there weren't so many theives in stores stealing merchandise they wouldn't have to hire people to check receipts anainst the merchandise. Shop lifters should have all their fingers broken when they are caught!

Wal-mart gives jobs to anyone that needs one even if you sick or suffer from illness. My wife was sales clerk at Wal-Mart for 3 years. She got cancer and Wal-Mart adjusted to what hours she could work and when, as cancer got worse she worked at front door greeting people and checking receipts and they provided a chair for her to sit in as she couldn't stand for long or move about a lot. Wal-mart went above and beyond taking care of its employees and their families. Most of the door greeters are either sick or dyeing so give them a break. I still go to Wal-mart often many of the employees remember me and my wife as well even though she gone and usually greeted with a hello or how you been. Glad to hear Walmart did you well. Sorry about your wife. now that is the type of old lady I dream of beating up. an old lady with cancer. sorry for your loss. your wife was a brave woman till the end the same type that built this country

Shop lifters should have all their fingers broken when they are caught! Truth ^ ^ ^ ^ The places around the country where shoplifting has been encouraged by the DA's refusal to prosecute shoplifting cases have seen a dramatic rise in crime rates. So you see many businesses padlocking the doors and getting out. John "Let 'Em Go " Creuzot has just about single handedly doubled the shoplifting rate in this area, and there's a good many businesses that have pulled up stakes and cut their losses. Not much choice of grocery stores or any place to ship out parcels and such besides the indifferent post office and the usual psuedo food joints- McSalty's, Booger Queen, Jack in the Crack, Taco Smell, etc. etc. Even the closest wallyworld has had to put things behind lock and key such as toiletries and baby formula and the sex potions. The bakery stuff, cookies individual pies and such are scarce because of the hoodrats that already have gubmint food allowances bring a cartload of welfare/anchor babies and wheel them straight to the pastries and each lil grimy hand gets a couple, then to the juice boxes fo de kids, and momma takes a red drank outta the pack fo herself. Then to the produce to get a package of grapes for all to share while momma wheels around picking out select cuts of meat and dirtbags like me have to stir through and look for the cheap package of baloney

So what's the purpose of checking the date on the receipt of a person that an employee just watched scan, bag and pay for all of their items? Policy isn't law btw.

They have the right to tell someone not to come back as long as it isn’t based on one of the lefts protected classes (the same various protected classes that are most likely to commit crimes).They have no legal right to demand a receipt without reasonable belief of a crime.

Got to love the worker that check your receipts when your heading out the door, they take there job seriously, I take my recept and balled them up and put them in my pocket, i was asked for it when leaving and took the balled up receipt and put it in her hand, she asked me to unball it as it wasn't her job to do so, told her it wasent my job checking myself out either Wow you're a dick to store employees...congrats? I hate to break it to you but Walmart is a private company and you're on private property. They have a right to check your receipt. If you don't like the policy you could always get a better job and shop somewhere else. Your wrong as usual. Once you pay, the goods are your property. Now, Sams club.... they have the right to check it because you agreed to it in the contract you signed.

My daughter works at our local Walmart and has stopped people walking out with carts full of non paid for items. We don’t have a regular person checking receipts here at the door. If you give my daughter grief about some little bull Schitt you will get an ass chewing and leave the store with your tail between your legs. I have no idea where she got that trait from. Lol. Edk

They irk me when they watch me scan all my chit at the self checkout, pay, get my receipt, walk three feet to where they're standing, and then they ask for my receipt.
You watched me scan, bag and pay for my sack of crap, Gertrude. No receipt for you. Considering all the trouble self-checkout causes them, that they have to do all that, you'd think they'd just have a cashier check you out instead. Wal-Mart is phasing out the self checkouts in some states, because loss due to theft has doubled with the self checkout. For the same reason the Dollar store is doing the same thing in some places.

Reread my quote where I said that an employee of Walmart, the same store just watched the person scan, bag and pay for all of their items.

Ever hear of kids returning with a receipt, restocking their cart with the same items, and heading for the door? Dates and time stamps have some value. So, don't drop that receipt in the waste bin as soon as one exits.
I don't do Walmart, but I do stop for the Costco ladies. I'm old, retired, and try not to be an ass to anyone just doing their job. If life gave me a do over, there's no way I'd want to be involved in retail sales today.
We presently live in a small community with fewer issues than metropolis. I fill our rigs at the station, and then go inside to pay the bill. None of this prepay/credit card bullsh-t we get damned near everywhere else. Still though, our local mom n pop stores experience problems. Lady who does an art/framing shop recently had a van load of obvious non-residents roar in with one individual tying her up with a wealth of questions. When they left without making a purchase, she realized she'd been ripped off including some irreplaceable artwork that had been left with her for framing. Can one even imagine the phone calls she was saddled with?
Same bunch hit an isolated gas station/high value curio shop about 30 miles down the road with an identical MO.
As to self-checkout, that practice should simply be outlawed. I equate that to using your gas pump, and I'll stop in at the end of the month and tell you how much I owe. A business that would not last long.
Watched a show recently where wallets were dropped on the street. In the Scandanavian countries all were returned intact. Here in the US about 10%. Sadly, we're not blessed with a population of angels.

Things like that used to be possible in the US, like they still are in Japan, for example, but with our current ethnic make up, and loss of fear of consequences, our society can't do it anymore. PS In Japan, there are all sorts of stores with no staff on the premises at all. They just expect you to deposit the correct amount as you leave, and everyone does.

WM tried All Self Check here while those ex checkers shopped for lazy online shoppers, the price we pay must reflect some of that cost. Now they have no shopping bags, counts me out. Wonder what's next-advanced theft classes for kids! I have been shopping infrequently there since WM came here, they have made it difficult to continue.

So you'd rather make a trip to WalMart than just have it delivered to your front door for the same cost? I guess we have different amounts of expendable time and what we prefer to do with it.

Yep, delivered to your front door for the same cost, Spreading the cost to everybody. And no they won't deliver to my door 40 miles away. Nice gaslighter, us that live out here have to do what works with our time. I don't care to pay for your shopping expense and I'm willing to bet you don't want to pay our gas to get there either.
