Show your receipt
« on: May 02, 2016, 10:13:58 PM »
More and more stores are now requested visual inspection of your receipt when leaving a store (mostly due to the new bag laws). Apart from member stores (SAMs, Costco ect....) I never show my receipts. It has got me followed to my car, yelled at, sworn at and threaten with the police being called. Through out this tho I have never shown my receipt and I encourage you to do the same.

Why? What do you stand to gain by refusing to show a receipt? Why is it ok for Costco to do it but not Sears?

Put yourself in the shoes of a store owner. They lose a lot of money from thieves and are just trying to slow the blood loss.

Sure, out of some principle you could refuse to show your receipt, and absent evidence that you are stealing, you are free to go. It could, however, get you trespassed from the business.

If I were you, I would simply refuse to conduct anymore business with those who have that policy.

My wife and I went to Costco, but before that we purchased a frozen Starbucks drink for the wife, upon attempting to enter, we were stopped and we were given the choice of discarding the drink or leaving it in our car (90° day out)... I selected my own option as said adios... Just because some degenerates leave/spill their drinks in the store, does not mean I will be irresponsible and let it happen.

Same thing with stores with no gun signs, I simply refuse to do business with them, cease to fuel the stupidity with your hard earned money.

Walmart does this on a random basis or maybe suspicious circumstances. There is almost always a person standing by the exit asking people to see their receipts. If you are walking out with a Walmart bag I noticed they don't ask them. It is the people who have a cart and have items that are not in a bag they seem to target. But there is not always a person by the exit. So what are the circumstances that causes them to post a person there and what are they looking for?

Knowing this are you going to stop doing business with Walmart?

I have no problem showing my receipts because I understand why a business would want to protect their assets. 
I encourage anyone with issues with a stores practices to boycott the store so I can find parking easier.

Showing a receipt is same as showing a ticket stub for going in a movie theater.  Same as showing ID to buy alcohol.  Nobody is accusing you of anything or infringing on your rights.  They own the business so they set the policies. 
Shoplifters make prices higher for everyone, so it is in your own interest to cooperate.  Unless you are dishonest and trying to hide a cashier mistake in your favor, there is no reason to refuse showing that receipt. 
No business can spot every shoplifter in action unless they put cameras every 3 feet with security people watching you.  Would you prefer your every move be watched and recorded in the store, or would you rather show your receipt?

Went to Walmart with the wife last week so she could get some crafting supplies for a school project and as we approached the exit there was a line of people waiting for security to check their receipts..... homie don't wait on that shit.... I walked around.

I'm with you on this.  I don't mind showing my receipt if it doesn't mean standing in another line.  Don't mean to go on a tangent, but It irritates me enough to stand in a long line in stores that have 20+ registers but only 4 open.  :wtf: I guess the only reason they have 20+ registers is for Black Friday.  Might as well make em all self checkouts.

Why? What do you stand to gain by refusing to show a receipt?
Freedom

Why is it ok for Costco to do it but not Sears?
Because Costco is a store that you have to pay to be a part of and sign a consent to their policies

Put yourself in the shoes of a store owner. They lose a lot of money from thieves and are just trying to slow the blood loss.
Then invest in security cameras and don't harass good customers

Sure, out of some principle you could refuse to show your receipt, and absent evidence that you are stealing, you are free to go. It could, however, get you trespassed from the business.
If they trespass you for failure to show a receipt, go get the best lawyer you can find. You stand to win millions. The simple fact is that they do not check 100% of the people's receipts that walk out of the store, meaning that you have been discriminated against because you are (insert your ethnicity here)

So I walked in to my bank today wearing my favorite ski mask, and they had the nerve to ask me to take it off.

I mean what is going on? My freedoms are being denied! I cannot believe they are throwing away good customer service just because they want to avoid theft. They already have cameras,that should be all they need.

Maybe I should sue for discrimination.

Just speculating here but I am pretty sure that is a safety issue. All it takes is one idiot to spill something that causes another person to slip and fall and Costco is faced with a lawsuit for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not that they think you are that idiot but they never know and cannot predict it thus have to enforce it evenly.

Why ? Because i have no interest in having my property searched by a private company with no cause, They have no legal right to detain or search me unless they believe that i have stolen something by stoping and asking me for my recipt on the basis that i do not have my items in bags is simply that an detainment and accusation of theft.

what do you stand to gain ? I gain nothing, But i dont lose anything ether, Consenting to a search on the basis that other people might be staling is just bullshit. If they choose to trespass me thats on them, Good luck with that, Im not standing around having a conversation, To be trespassing i must be on their property after they have told me to leave, If they are detaining me then obviously im not trespassing.

In the UK this is common, you go in 1 door and through a  one way door, To leave you have to go through a check stand and out another door.

The receipt check at Costco doesn't seem effective when all the person does 90% of the time is glance at the receipt, glance at the cart, scribble and then I leave.  Based on quick glances how is he supposed to find the extra bottle of liquor or see that I was charged twice for granola bars.  It's a joke.

The real reason for the receipt check is to put the highliter slash over the receipt so you can't use it again.
