Walmart and Best Buy check your receipt at the door; you know that going in.
If you don’t like it, don’t go in.
See how simple that is?
Too simple for some people, apparently.
“”Walmart and Best Buy check your receipt at the door; you know that going in.””
They only check some people, Walmart for instance has never checked my bags. ever.
I’ve found that at Walmart and other stores including Circuit City, CompUSA, etc., if I walk out holding the receipt in my hand or “reading” it, I never get stopped. I’ve pretty much removed their cause for concern, and in fact turned the tables by seeming to check my receipt to see that *I* didn’t get ripped off.
The only place you can’t do that is BJ’s (and perhaps other shopper’s clubs) that have a policy of checking your cart and marking your receipt when you leave.
I shop at Walmart a lot. I have never once been asked for a receipt when leaving. Not in Missouri, where I live.
I have also shopped in Walmarts while traveling. I have never been asked to show a receipt in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, Oklahoma or Wisconsin either.
Hmmm. Under that line of reasoning, you could substitute anything for "...check your receipt at the door..." and it would be okay.
What if it was:
Walmart and Best Buy perform a strip search at the door; you know that going in.
If you don’t like it, don’t go in.
Or even:
Walmart and Best Buy have thugs that slap you around before you leave; you know that going in.
If you don’t like it, don’t go in.
That wouldn't be okay, would it? Of course not. It's ludicrous to even entertain the notion.
The idea being that just because you are aware of store policy going in doesn't make the policy okay.
