Literally takes a few seconds. If you don't like it open your own store and let people walk out without showing their receipt.
 Quoting: Nuke Dukem


The moment you pay for the items, they are no longer store property, but your property. Walmart is a private corporation. They have no right to search your belongings, no matter what their ignorant of the law employees think.

It's not a matter of the time, although in many areas people are waiting 15 minutes in aline to be checked, it is the relinquishing of hard won freedoms, which will be very much missed when gone.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77506280


And THEY/Retailer has the RIGHT to make sure you only have what you payed for.
Stop being an ASS and look at it from their point of view.
What would you do if you owned a retail store and crime was skyrocketing?

Is that in the bill of Rights or the UCC?

You might stop and ask yourself why they have to check everyone.

Aside from the obvious shrink problems, if they only check those that look shady then they will look like racists a vast majority of the time.
 Quoting: Cheops


Now THERE'S someone that's worked in retail, no question chuckle

And in answer to the larger question... I have never in all of my life been asked for a receipt check in ANY store other than Costco, never mind a Walmart. The most that those geriatric door minders have ever said to me is "Welcome to Walmart" on the way in and "Did you find everything OK?" on the way out. Not sure where you're shopping.

 Quoting: mr jenzie


It’s called my proof of purchase not theirs and it is private property. I rip mine up and throw it out before I leave. If they want to detain me and check the register and cameras bring it on I cross my fingers every time. I’ll even lift up my shirt and show them I only have my 1911 and what I paid for.

You are under zero obligation to stop.

I say, "no thanks" and no one stops me.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77326027


All Walmart needs to do is to put signs as you enter and ideally at the registers too that your merchandise is subject to inspection along with the receipt before leaving the store. If you check out(or run out), you are then subject to the receipt policy.

One reason they do it is to prevent using the receipt for a return trip to get a second load of shit.

Re: Interesting Article about WALMART RECEIPT CHECKS..What are your rights?
My son put in an online order with Walmart for Hanes Cool-Dri shirts, the silky crewn neck ones to work in SC and in Va.
He did not relalize they had the store for pick up changed to a TN store 62 miles from our house.
We can be to Walmart with in less than 4 minutes.

The order was requested to be cancled and him to reorder for the correct store location or direct home delivery.
He never got his money back for the first order he cancled and it was over $100.00.

So you have to be careful how you buy and order with them.

Re: Interesting Article about WALMART RECEIPT CHECKS..What are your rights?
If you don't like it, don't shop there. Problem solved.
 Quoting: Icey



And that's exactly what I'm doing....after a fucking scene at the door at the Portal to Hell.

I bought a gallon of milk and cat food. I walked towards the door and the lady asked me for my receipt. I could not find it.

The bitch asked me to stand aside. I said this is ridiculous, the people behind me were echoing the sentiment.

So, we went over to the register where I had self checked out, but someone had already checked something out and my receipt couldn't be recouped.

The two employees put their heads together and the women who made me stand aside said she didn't want to put me through a CSM....whatever that means, but it didn't sound pleasant.

She then said she'd let me go...like she was doing me a favor.

I went off on her....called her a fucking cunt, right there in the store. I was screaming. Lawdy, I was so pissed off.

I went out to the car and found the receipt. I took it back into the store, and the woman was LAUGHING as I stormed up to her, and put it up in her face. She wouldn't even look at it.

I threw it at her and told her she needed to frame it, because it was the receipt that would stop me from coming in the store ever again, four to five times a week. The cunt...and all that was after a run in with another extremely rude empolyee.

There are other stores, and those are the ones I'm going to use now.

Fuck Walmart, the Portal to Hell......huffy

I see you're feeling bitchy like me tonight.

They did it to my wife and I at Xmas when we had a small bike in the cart for our 6 year old.

If they did it over cat food and milk I'd probably lose it too.

The Rights Of The Consumer

Shopkeeper’s Privilege is designed to protect retailers from shoplifting. But what if you’re not a shoplifter?

In the event of a receipt check, Walmart has not seen you conceal and fail to pay for merchandise, because you have not stolen anything. You are innocent of everything other than being randomly selected for a receipt check. So what does this mean for you, the paying customer, when a friendly face in a yellow vest asks for your receipt?

Well, you can do what most of us do and comply, thereby subjecting yourself to a voluntary search. But you can also say “no.” You can say “no thanks.” Hell, you can even say “hell no.”

Receipt checks are voluntary and if you’re not in the mood for one, it’s within you

Can A Retailer Use Shopkeeper’s Privilege To Stop Anyone?

No. The key here is Shopkeeper’s Privilege only applies to suspected shoplifters, so the merchant must have probable cause that the customer has shoplifted. What does probable cause look like?

Although shoplifting laws vary by state, merchants can look for the following steps to establish probable cause:

You must see the shoplifter approach your merchandise.
You must see the shoplifter select your merchandise.
You must see the shoplifter conceal your merchandise.
You must maintain continuous observation of the shoplifter.
You must see the shoplifter fail to pay for the merchandise.
You must approach the shoplifter outside of the store but on store grounds.

What If You’re Prevented From Leaving?: False Imprisonment
If you decline the receipt check and the employee detains you or in any way prevents you from leaving the store, the retailer can be held liable for false imprisonment. False imprisonment is the illegal confinement of an individual against his or her will and is both a civil violation and a crime.

Is This The Case At All Retail Stores?

Some club stores like Costco list receipt checks as a condition of membership within its membership agreement. Refusing to show your receipt at a club store could be terms for membership termination.

Re: Interesting Article about WALMART RECEIPT CHECKS..What are your rights?
I get SO ANNOYED BY THESE CHECKS. Turns out there are very strict rules for determining probable cause for shoplifting. For the most part, legally you can say NO and walk on out. But my deeper question is, are we somehow being conditioned to accept these warrant-less searches? Is there some deeper agenda behind this other than shrink control? What are your thoughts? I know I hate to be a dick to a 75 yo making 10/hr but I'm getting sick of these searches personally. It just struck me though that perhaps it is more than Walmart trying to cut its losses from shoplifting.
