“When the Walmart door person asks me if I have a receipt for something, I just smile and say, “Sure do,” and keep going. But then I haven’t stolen anything, and I don’t like being accused of theft even by implication.”
EXACTLY what i used to do and exactly how i felt when our local walmart was briefly trying that gambit ... they didn’t do it for very long, though, since there was nothing they could do if you didn’t show a receipt ...
Yeah, it’s a slight annoyance to me, so I slightly annoy them back. So far it hasn’t gone further, and if they someday decide to bar me from Walmart, well, I guess we’ll both survive.
As far as I’m concerned, though, if they want to stop theft, they can get busy and catch actual thieves rather than try to make all of their customers play along with their security theatrics.
