If it really was against the law in VA someone would have played the Lawsuit Lotto on Wal-Mart by now and they wouldn’t be checking receipts at the door anymore. You will note that Rick didn’t cite the law in his screed.

Strawman. It isn't against the law to ask to see receipts, but it certainly is against the law to detain someone for not showing them, and there is no law requiring the customer's cooperation with the store's request. The customer is legally free to just say "no" and keep walking.

WalMart is sued everyday. Multiple times. (This is a fact, btw.)

They have been sued for KILLING PEOPLE in pursuit of their stupid loss prevention policies. They have killed several people.

They do not change policy, regardless.
