The local Walmart now has someone at the door all the time. If you have items in the cart that are too big to bag, they’ll for sure ask to see your ticket ... I keep my ticket out until I get past the door. I also noticed the employee(s) at the self-checkout are a lot more vigilant than they used to be - it’s obvious they are watching now, rather than just hanging out in the event there’s an issue with ringing up something.
I refuse to show my receipt. As soon as I pay for the item, it becomes my property and they no longer have any right or title to it.
Our criminal justice system is clear that they must prove me guilty, I don’t have to prove my innocence.
Here’s a better way. Train your staff.
A few months ago at Home Depot, I was at the self checkout with both some personal items and stuff I was buying for my job.
As I completed one purchase, a girl came up and politely said “Sir, I think you missed something on your purchase.”
I told her that it was a separate transaction and thanked her for caring enough to mention it and challenge me.
And they’d better check everyone, not just the likely suspects, because they’d be accused of profiling.
