Actually, I have had this exact fantasy! I have told my husband that one day I am going to politely walk by the checker when she asks to see my receipt with a pleasant smile and say, ‘no, have a nice day’. What would they do? I have just spent money at your business and now you want to treat me like a common criminal, guilty until proven-innocent as I leave. I will never step foot in a WalMart again. Who needs that? The rest of you want to be compliant sheep that put up with this treatment to save a few pennies, be my guest.

I was carrying a suitcase that I had just purchased in Walmart, the register lady opened it, saw it was empty. I paid for it, then started walking to the parking lot. A lady receipt checker asked to see my receipt, I said ‘no’ and continued to walk out. Nothing happened. I was surprised at my quick snappy answer, but I felt empowered!
