Why Does Walmart Want To Scan My Receipt?

[ATOMonkey]

The amount of stolen merch going out the front door is nothing compared to the stolen merch going out the back door.

What difference does it make to me if the business gets things stolen? An affront to my honor by a low-wage stranger just doing his job....which he applies equally to everyone else who shops there as well....is too high a price to pay.

The point is- when confronted with a choice between being polite and being a badass, always choose the latter....how else will people know you're a badass?

Good point. That statist pig at the door can't see my truck nuts from that angle.


I might start carrying ziplock bags with me - put the receipt in it, dangle it out of reach of the employee all while telling him I'm a traveler, not a shopper.

I could see this happening. On a huge scale.

We have gone "bag crazy" where something with a perfectly good carrying handle or strap gets put into a flimsy plastic bag.


Yes, I do bring my own.

Numerous times I've walked to the checkout carrying a few small items, and while I'm fiddling with the CC machine, the cashier puts the stuff into multiple bags.

I just reach into the bags, grab my stuff out, and go on my way.

I stick with the small scales, they're easier to slip under my coat.

Heck, where is the reasonably close parking for those that likely qualify for a handicap permit but do not want to abuse the system and save that for truly disabled?

I agree completely. I see more people abuse the handicap parking than actually those that need it. Last one was at Lowes. Guy pulls into spot with a lifted full sized truck. Jumps out and almost skips into the store. Took up half the other spot because of poor parking.

I have a picture I took of a guy on a motorcycle, smoking a cigarette (which he flicked onto the street) who had handicap plates. Do they give these plates out for mental deficiencies? If he has a physical handicap where he can't walk from a space father back in the lot then he maybe shouldn't be in control of a two wheeled vehicle.

From what I've seen, obesity qualifies as a handicap now.

Could have bad knees from carrying heavy loads as a Marine for six years.


At least that's why my coworker has a tag.



Surprisingly, I don't judge folks with tags - too many unknown variables. There's a process in place, and for the most part in works. Well, unless it's my sister-in-law: "Let's take mom's car it's got a handicapped plate!"

The ones at Best Buy will really lay it on thick.

Just stopped going there.

It is an extremely rare instance that I find myself inside of a Best Buy store...contrary to their name-they usually are not

Best Buy. Aka “Amazon’s Showroom”.

Lesson to learn: If you want to steal something, just act like a badass.

I see you are telling everyone how you and they can get away with it.
You are probably one of those who scream for guns to be taken away from everyone but you.

I have bad knees. If they got bad enough that I thought I should get a tag maybe I wouldn't keep my motorcycle endorsement on my license. Just doesn't make sense to me.

As far as your SIL goes that infuriates me more so.

I had it happen the other day...

Greeter: I need to see your receipt for the paper towels.
Me: Walked out the door without hesitation.

 

[KittySlayer]

If the Walmart Greeter looked like the hottie reporter in the YouTube clip I would let her check my package, and receipt too.
