I concur wholeheartedly! If someone grabs my purse with both hands, they just may get shot!
Of course, I always try to follow the rules—and after I learned these were the rules at both Sam’s and Costco’s, I no longer shopped there.
I haven’t joined Costco or Sam’s, but this is why I hate going in stores like Wal-Mart. It’s the store equivalent of a huge, centralized bureaucracy. I can never just dash in and get out in reasonable time. They’ll have 20 cash registers but only two or three open. I’m always very cordial to clerks. I know they don’t make the rules. Still, I always feel like cattle in a chute. There’s no excuse for chasing and manhandling someone who has shown a receipt. What if that lady had just received an emergency phone call and had to leave? What if she felt sick and just had to get out of there? They should all pattern after our local Publix stores—they treat you royally.
