I do this. Walk right past them. They stopped asking me to stop a while ago. The one new lady a few months ago, was persistent, until I turned and told her "I am not standing around waiting for you diseased people to hurry along, the longer I have to stand here the more chance I have of catching whatever disgusting viruses all of you (motioning to the line) are spewing into the air!" She looked shocked, but waved me along. Was so cool, this older lady near the back of the line, no mask, got out of line and pushed her cart right past the others. I smiled and nodded to her. She lit up, and smiled huge!
Nice!!! I just wave my receipt in the air & keep going. I rarely step foot in there regardless.
Stop waving your receipt. The self-checkouts are inundated with cameras. Let them do their jobs with the equipment they have. Let them address it with their management. Not your job. Not your problem.
This!
Unless it's a membership store, I never show a receipt when leaving a store. One Door Troll kind of followed me saying he needed to check my receipt to make sure I didn't steal anything.
I told him to check the cameras if he was that worried about it.
When I was leaving the same store a few weeks later another Door Troll asked for my receipt and the same guy from before told the other Door Troll 'He doesn't show his receipt, don't worry about it'
Haha
Great googly moogly!
Is that you Fred, old friend?
Looks like you have some serious black privilege going on there.
This, and in stores that are 100% self-checkout, they know exactly what you are buying before you get to a register. If you throw too many red flags (which is actually hard to do unless you are trying on purpose, which is the point) then the register holds you up and summons an employee.
The stores where they are checking receipts have too many people just walking out with shit. If you see them randomly checking people, notice that those people have the typical cashier red-flags: shit under the cart, big shit stacked on little shit w/o bags, plus the employee doing the stopping didn't see them come from the registers.
Right. I mainly shop at small stores WalMart NOT A WIN ever 👍🏽
Some big stores have their value. There are a lot of products I can't buy unless I go through Amazon or those big stores.
WalMart is not one of those stores with value.
Exactly. I’m thinking I’ve been in one twice in the last decade. Majority of items from China and proven ties to FEMA installations they can KMA.
Quit buying that CCP shit and lining the pockets of a corporation that is all in with the dark overlords. Support your local businesses, and buy American!
Yes I know, I buy as little as possible there. There are a few things I can only get there, unless I order from Amazon or drive to the big city... I would rather pay Walmart and give some locals some jobs than go the amazon route.
I've spent a lot at Amazon the last 2 years, and am contemplating going cold turkey and Amazon-free for 2022. While I appreciate 1-2 day delivery and pretty decent customer service, I really don't want to support that company anymore. Walmart is even worse. I refuse to go there for large amounts of groceries at this point due to the checkout policy.
We’ve been amazon-free for a year and no regrets! Do it, it’s dystopian how huge they are becoming
Always nice when another person gets emboldened by you.
I love u for doing this ,, I went to a small meeting tonight,, Bobby Kennedy, Del bigtree dr Sherri tenpenny and a few others , I'm in San Diego so not a lot of Patriots here so it was a small gathering, but the message was huge ,, we all need to rise up.. stop allowing them to treat us like slaves ,, basically examples like you did was what the message was ,, Rise up and tell them NO we are not putting up with this ,, basically we all are doing this but was great to hear ,,, loved what u did ,, and love this post awesome
Yeah because that definitely happened.
We all agree with your sentiment bro, but you sound like one of those retarded girls on tumblr when you make up shit like this.
It truly happened, I have no need to make things up. I am also not afraid to tell people like it is. Sometime it has gotten me in trouble. There are retarded girls on tumblr ? Are they hot? I never used tumblr, is that a dating thing?
Once you pay, ownership of those items transfers to you
That means no one can detain you on your way out. Just keep walking, if they stop you that's an illegal detainment.
THIS PERIOD!!
yep i say "accuse me of shoplifting or let me go" when they start yelling at me. my time is my own, and im not giving it away to some militant vest wearer to help them with loss prevention. I chose to agree to that at costco, and i pay to be a member there with that agreed upon.
I used to do this at Costco, but my spouse doesn’t like the attention. I love doing this at other stores though. They have no idea how to react.
I believe at wholesale clubs, you signed something that said you agree to having the receipt checked as part of the membership.
At other stores you entered into no such agreement. One you pay for it, it is yours, just like the shoes on your feet you came in with. Fry’s Electronics tried that shit on me years ago and I just walked on out. I haven’t seen Best Buy do it in years.
That's all nice to say and all, but before Walmart in my town, running errands was annoying, running to this store for this and that store for that, etc. There's a reason these places are so successful. They provide an experience people want. It's too bad when they go nuts or woke.
The annoyance is a small price to pay to support local businesses.
A million time this. Our dollar votes are way more powerful than the ones at the polls. Support your neighbours, not the Waltons and their exploitation.
I've never once stopped to let some stranger paw through my stuff. "No thank you." is all I say. No one has ever tried to stop me, which is fortunate for them.
Even though it takes longer, I always go to cashier operated checkouts. Nice to keep people in jobs and have a natter.
Always at the grocery store, never go to Walmart. One of the "monitors" tried grabbing my cart to take me to the self-check, she got an earful then looked at me with total disgust. Bitch.
I LOVE the self checkouts. Primarily because I can group my groceries into boxes (produce dept has em, y'all) and bags, the way I want them. No more checkers putting deodorant in with cookies or spray paint in with bananas.
I just smile real big and say no thank you to the receipt checker people. Not once have they ever asked a second time. I think they can sense the outcome.
If you have confidence and an air of authority they back down.
;And, they're not paid enough to do battle with customers.
I just say hi to em.by now I could walk out with a giant tv and they wouldn't care.
In southeast New Mexico where my brother lives. A Deputy Sheriff from the little town north of them was seen pretending to self check some items. Those items were higher dollar that the ones he really scanned. He was observed doing this on review of the security video. The door checker had made it a habit to just wave him one because often he was in uniform.
When the theft was discovered on video they set up a watch for his next trip to Wally World. He pulled the same stunt again and was caught in the act.
Everyone pays for the theives actions with higher prices. That area is swarming with shop lifters and it gets worse because in addition to some being the cops, the cops are also letting others go.
When a local business owner who was seeing repeat offenders come back again and again to his store went to the DA to complain about these people never going to court she showed him her logs and none of the cases from the cops had been referred to her.
The problem in that area is closely tied to the ethnicity of the theives and the cops.
If we, shoppers, are doing the job of employee at the "self checkout", shouldn't people who use "self checkout" get the employee discount? My brother, who works at a Walmart in Illinois gets a discount. So, if we are doing the work, we are technically employees also.
Right? I have asked employees where I can sign up for health insurance and when does it kick in. They look confused. Then I say "well, yeah I am working here now, i deserve benefits."
Dude, most actual Walmart employees don't ever get benefits like health insurance already. Walmart uses every trick in the book not to have to pay for such things and keeps their workers in poverty. No wonder they were confused.
oh good point, now I feel bad. :(
Good point!
I didn't know this was a thing cause I haven't been to Walmart in a few years but anytime someone says, "There's no line at the self checkout." I say, "Yeah but you're not paying me why would I do your job?"
When I was in college, Lucky's grocery store used to run its 'threes a crowd' campaign- there would never be more than three in a line at any time. I remember the calls of 'threes a crowd! ' when the lines got long and there were empty registers.
yeah i hate standing in long lines at disney parks. no idea why people like to drag me there. once you have seen it, you have seen it. no need to repeat the boring, expensive experience.
true. a lot of us see it for the first time when our parents take us.
Exactly. I always complain if the lines are too long.
Look, i get it, but why is this relevant on a Q board?
It's interesting. I read the whole thread and didn't even think about Q until I read your post. 10/10 would read thread again.
Or better yet, quit shopping at WalMart...
I am the same way, just keep walking. If its that important they would have someone standing right there at the cash registers. I also dont care if I do a good job at scanning. I have received absolutely "NO" training in scanning there items. You get what you give.
They've tightened up security after finding people were scanning expensive stuff like asparagus as carrots.
I don’t spend my money anywhere with self check out. All that does is cost local jobs just like the internet did to just about every small-town-America. I refuse to assist in killing local jobs as much as I can get away with it. We should all do as much as the same, if we truly value our communities, local capitalism, and small-town America.
Trust me, Walmart workers don't want your shit about it any more than they support Walmart's move toward 100% self checkouts, since its a bald-faced move to employ fewer people. But, it was inevitable when they started cranking up associate wages that they would be making comparative cuts in other areas.
I suggest not being an asshole to people trying to earn a living, and direct your ire to corporate. You know, the one pushing CRT and diversity bullshit in the training material?
I wouldnt be caught dead in a wal mart...
This dude almost died for some Pokémon cards in my area. Security brought receipts...

You have to stop and show receipts 😂😂 damn lol I would laugh in U.K. if they even tried asking for my receipt 😂
Instead, they ask you for a Vax passport... 🙄
Nope not here pal, south coast Britain we don’t comply like only really old ppl masked up, and no shops for 40 milles radius asks for masks nor passports nor nothing lol
In most jurisdictions you are not legally required to stop and show your receipt. The transaction has already taken place at that point. The items you bought are in your possession. That said, they could still call the cops on you, and the cops can ask you to stop on suspicion of a crime.
Side note: If you are at a Sams Club or Costco, then you have to use your membership to purchase items and part of the agreement you sign is that they can check receipts at the exit.
Bellingham Washington, self checkout stopped taking cash a few months ago. Bastards. Put walmart last on your list folks.
Actually shocked to hear such a hippie town has a walmart.
B-ham is a nice, decent sized city with plenty of stores, restaurants, etc. It’s in no way a hippie town.
Bham is absolutely a hippie town. Not sure which part youre familiar with
I leave my cart in front of a self check out an leave if theres no cashiers available.
I already work 70 hours a week, im not doing someone elses job.
Unless it's a membership store you don't have to show any receipt. Once you pay for your goods they are yours period, full stop. They no longer belong to or are in the control of any one else. This includes the store, this is clear legal precedent and you do not need to show them anything.
Simply say no thank you and keep walking.
INB4 you wanna talk crap, there a many tube videos by lawyers on it. Check for yourself.
Militant and slow. When idiots are put in power.
I've never had to wait in line for the Walmart doorman, if they're busy around here they just let people walk by anyway.
Me too
I remember when they edited a good Self Checkout bit from a Bill Burr special, had to get the DVD to see it.

Interesting that in the UK we don't even print our receipts and people don't hassle us even if the alarms go off at the door... However if we are not wearing a mask they get a bit irate
YES!!!!
Why in THE SHIT are you people still shopping at FUCKING WALMART????
All the big box stores are the fucking enemy!
we know. sometimes options are few. walmart destroyed small town businesses a long time ago. in 1994 i was asked to buy a gift stamped made in usa. thats when i found out it was all made in china.
Well for me, if I can't buy it at Wal-Mart, I can't buy it. Fuck them. Pussies called the cops on me earlier this year because I wouldn't wear a mask. Fuck them and fuck Petco.
Edit: For clarity, I can go in Wal-Mart, I wasn't even in the same city when the COVID Nazis at Wal-Mart came for me. But yeah back when the mask bullshit was in full swing, that happened.
when i first moved to my current town, everyone was wearing a mask, so i thought i had to. after awhile i just wore it on my chin. only one time did a karen ask me to put my mask on. the scared ones are re-masking now because they are frightened of fake variants. once last summer i was going out of walmart and a worker asked for my receipt. it had slipped to the bottom of my purse where there were many old receipts. she wouldnt let me leave the store. i told her i would have to empty out my purse somewhere to search for the correct receipt. there was no place to do that. i sat on a bench crying because i couldnt dig out the correct receipt. finally a shopper came along and told me they had no right to detain me and she helped me walk out of the store. i was not guilty of shoplifting, and i did find the correct receipt when i got home. i avoid chinamart as much as possible, but sometimes theres no choice.
They have cameras on all the self checkouts......
they don't need people checking receipts.
I've been doing this for years. Most of them don't care. I get rude looks from the other people standing in line, but who cares.
People are so silly about following "rules" sometimes.
Walmart has a poiicy of not stopping shoplifters, so they won't do anything even if they know you didn't pay.
As crappy as globalist Amazon is, it is still a better option than Walmart
Better yet shop local
Stop shopping at Walmart
If your at a "shopping club" like Sams,BJ's,Costco, etc you agreed to let them check your receipt BUT...If you're not paying some sort of membership then you can say fuck you to them. I've done this as well when for a period of around a week our local Home Depot tried that shit. I walked right by and said "I don't have to show you shit!", and the troll had no idea what to do. I complained to corporate and they actually responded with a per fuse apology and 30% off coupon saying that's not Home Depot policy and that they would contact the store. Don't even give those people the time of day after you pay!
They can not legally stop you or check your receipt unless they have evidence you stole something.ni don't even show them my receipt. I will often times leave the receipt right there because I have that right too, but I will never wait in line twice especially once I've payed and officially own it.
Once you pay for it you don't have to have a receipt even. It's yours whether you accept the receipt of not and since it is your private property they have no right to your private property or to detain you any longer.
I already looked into it. They can not stop you or make you do any of that. It's all voluntary.
Amen I NEVER slow down only once has the checker said anything to which I said the same thing. Walmart sucks.
