... Me politely tell the walmart greeter to pound sand when she asked to scan my receipt.
Greeter: Hello. Can I scan your receipt?
Me: Deep contemplation... do I comply cuz the fam is with me, or do I set a good example and show them how to politely decline their unreasonable demand? (Nothing in the cart was expensive, bulky, etc. Just a full load of weekly groceries, everything properly bagged.)
Greeter: I just need to scan one item.
Me: Uhhhhh No thank you, I'm not even sure which bag I stuck the receipt in. I'll pass. Have a good evening though! *Gently takes control of the front of the cart because she was pushing and away we go*
Unlike several other greeters in the past, she took it in stride and we parted ways.
We had a nice discussion as a family of 4th amendment related issues, innocent until proven guilty, why they are doing it, etc on the drive home. She was more receptive than I expected. ESPECIALLY since the mini monkeys were with me, I made extra sure I was not rude and as polite and pleasant as possible. She's just doing her job.
Just like Eichmann.
