“””You cannot leave Fry’s without a bag check either.”””
“””You can’t with Walmart either.”””
Depends on the Wal Mart — when we lived in Maryland, we’d get stopped EVERY time (we only lived there a year THANK G-D!) . . . back here in Texas, never.
The ONLY time I get stopped at Wal Mart is when the cashier forgets to scan the sensor thingie and the door thingie goes BEEP BEEP BEEP! Otherwise, no problem. And apparently the beeper going off is more about the cashiers if it is an item validly purchased. One of the greeters told me that — so who knows if it is true — but they do document.
I know though, that ymmv with WalMart - by region, theft rate, location (even within cities shoplifting rates vary), etc.
