I hate the receipt checkers and if walmart gives self-checkout the option of emailed receipts that is their own stupidity.
This was a mess all the way around from walmart to the officer to the punk kid who caused it.
When walmart raises prices to offset shoplifting again then don’t bitch about the receipt people.
Take away self checkout and most of this issue goes away.
Costco doesn’t have self-checkout, and they check everyone’s receipt as they leave. I’ve never had a problem with it nor seen anyone else bothered by it.
