I refuse to let them check my receipt. Legal title to my property transferred to me as soon as I traded cash for goods at the register. Forcing me to prove ownership of my property at the door goes against many constitutional rights including the right against self incrimination and the right to be secure in my papers and property.
Yea, my wife doesn’t like it either but too bad. Caving in to the small stuff is what got us where we are as a country.
I’ve never figured out what they’re actually looking for on the receipt. A code, an item over a certain dollar amount?
They do this at Costco, but they do it so fast and our cart is always so full of stuff, I don’t see how they can tell anything.
same here ... i never show a receipt at walmart ...
“Caving in to the small stuff is what got us where we are as a country.”
Excellent observation.👍
“Legal title to my property transferred to me as soon as I traded cash for goods at the register.”
What did you do with the title to your truck; or the deed to your property? Burn them or keep them around?
Walmart is a private business, not a govt entity. They can set the rules for shopping in their stores, and if checking the receipt before leaving the store is one of their rules, either agree to the rule or don’t shop there, or prepare to go to jail and don’t expect the judge to consider Walmart’s property rights “small stuff.” You are completely in the wrong.

I used to say, “You have no legal authority over me” when refusing. Now all the greeters recognize me at my local Walmart, and don’t bother to ask.
They always say, “have a nice day.”, even when I sounded a little cranky back when I still got asked to show my receipt.
