Wanna be searched? Funny kind of American, you appear to be. When Walmart tries to stop me at the door and look at my product and receipt I just tell them no thanks and have a nice day, one employee threatened to call the police, I told him to knock himself out. I'm funny that way, not liking being treated as a thief, I may not have a choice at Costco since I agree to their terms when I join but until Wally's posts a policy stating their intention to search, screw them, and that will also be the last day they take a penny from me.
Been there done that and I tell them they better get a warrant and they better have proof or I will be filing a lawsuit.
This actually happened. About a year ago I had about $350 of items in a cart at Walmart. I unloaded the cart and the cashier rang it all up. I ran my Debt Card through the machine and it acted like it accepted it then showed the clerk for me to re-swipe the card. I did it again and it seemed to take and she said Thank you for shopping Walmart etc. But no receipt was printed. At that point I was concerned so I asked the clerk for a receipt in case I got hit twice for the purchase. The computer would not allow her too print one when usually they can. I said OK get the manager I want a receipt.
I had a feeling that it didn't even go through thus the reason she could not produce a receipt for me. The manager came up and looked puzzled and played with the register a few minutes then went back to the office and told me to wait about 10 minutes.
In the mean time I was accessing my checking account checking my balance. I knew Walmart Debits hit my account immediately usually. No sign of a purchase. After 15 minutes she came back and said the purchases was canceled and shows canceled in the system and showed me proof.
I told the clerk and manager "do you realize I could have just kept my mouth shut and walked out of here with a cart full of goods for free?" I would never have been caught. Yeah I can see exactly how they can show theft loss. Their inventory and checkout system stinks. How many times a day does that happen?
NO! I will not be searched without a warrant. I make it a point to have receipt visible in hand as I leave. If they suspect I stole from them we're standing right at the front entrance and waiting on LEO to arrive and we will discuss the accusation at the entrance as well.
