I cannot believe what I am hearing here. The next step will be checking your pockets and bags. What if you have a coat on that is sold there? Got a receipt? What I buy with my money is mine! Yes I will shop somewhere else and pay more money if I have too(and I don’t have a lot of money).Are you people going to submit your DNA to shop there also? Or just Xray screening? Oownership is a key right. This reduces that right.
I haven't seen a receipt checker one time.
“Hmmmmmm. And your Mom votes.......democrat? I suspect your Mom is spewing bravo sierra.”
Careful how you speak of someone mother.
Most of the receipt checkers are in their 70's. Way to go Rick.
Sure proves that Wal*Mart is serious about preventing shoplifting.
/sarc
Typical of most liberals btw.
Which is why when my Costco membership expired I didn’t renew it. I don’t like being made to feel like a criminal.
If the checker’s sole job is loss prevention... the company needs better loss prevention, b/c the stuff is largely going out the back door with the employees/hired help.
Some checkers are nice...others on a power trip ...working their way into the TSA.
I would agree if it’s the government forcing you to do something. An enterprise that has certain rules of conduct, applies them the same way to all their customers (and its potential customers are aware of the requirement), and does not force you to do business with it, should be able to continue to set those rules of conduct.
I wish government asks for people’s identification to make sure they have the precious right to vote before they are allowed to do so.
You mean a truck actually came in this month to fill the usually almost empty shelves? Gosh there musta been something actually worth stealing on it. Seriously I wish they were as agressive at having fully stocked shelves again the way they used to be as they are with their security.
DBKP...my new tagline of late. ;-D
Exactly why people have such low opinions of attorneys.
Costco, BJ's, Sams Club, Walmart, CompUSA, Best Buy .... I doubt they are all doing it to make their shoppers feel like criminals.
Bingo! That's what all those posters above you simply don't understand. The law states you don't have to show a reciept so Walmart is playing Nazi with the sheeple. It's not the guy's fault there are shoplifters in the store. It's not the guy's fault Walmart doesn't have a more efficiant means to make sure merchandise was indeed paid for at x,y,z part of the store. It's the store's fault. Send the little door checker to escort electronics out of the store and they'd have a better customer relation. Once, I was stopped at the grocery store because my purse pinged the alarm. I don't know why, but they claimed it did. I was stopped at the door and escorted back to the office in front of everyone like a criminal. I told them to dump my purse out and show me and everyone whatever it was. They wouldn't and said for me to leave. What?!? You make a big deal out of it and then won't even look in my purse?!? I don't think so. I called my LE husband who was on shift so drove over to the store and hollered at them that if I was suspected of shoplifting they should have called the cops. They still refused to look in my purse and couldn't get rid of us quick enough. I think that was the last time they used their new little alarm and they quit having someone hang around the door. Talk about bad customer relations. In the parking lot, I went through my purse and found a ratty old allergy rx box that had a bar code on it so I'm guessing that was the cause of it all.
So you let a complete stranger have so much power over you He makes you feel like a criminal please
My point is if Wal*Mart is supposed to be “serious” about loss prevention, shoplifting, theft, etc., they’d do better than to have geriatrics and wheelchair-bound employees as greeters and interrogators.
I've had the alarm go off as I walked into a store. The door guy looked up at me, I looked at him... I think we both had the same "WTF?" expression on our faces. I walked out, turned around, walked back in, no alarm. Not a word was said by either of us. Just one of those things.
ROFLOLMF!!!
I wonder if he goes by Dick?
Nothing conservative about making an ass of yourself, unless you think Chris Matthews and Co. are right about us.
