Is it beta to let the store employee by the door check your receipt before you exit?

[GMiscer]

You don't actually have to show them your receipt

You can just ignore them when they ask for it

But most people let them check their receipts

It probably has a lot to do with the phenomenon of "appeal to authority"

The employee represents an authority figure in the store and people abide to the request without questioning it

[ErnieMccracken]

Never do I stop anywhere except costco.

If you trust me to do a cashier's job so that you don't have to pay a wagie $12/hr, you don't get to check my work.

[BraddlesMcGee]

Is it Alpha to let people steal your goods?

[Pats2022SBwin]

I doubt they even check to see if the receipt matches and just pretend to, unless they get commission on catching tyrone steal stuff.

[theory816]

Nah it cuts down on shop lyfting. And going against the grain isn't even worth it.

[JayJ350]

I punch them in the gut on my way out, srs.

"Outta the way, ****gort! Gotta get to the gym!"

[WiseOldApe]

Almost as beta as checking the receipt after paying because you felt like you got ripped off.

[NEETvestor]

Yeah, it's degrading, and I refuse to buy from places like Costco and Best Buy that do it.

[Samraiwise]

I've never seen anyone do that to tag-sensor-security-gates here in Japan.

[Getter_done]

Im poor so i dont shop much really.

[crupiea]

They are just doing their job.

It doesnt take but a second to let them do it in peace.

We need to pick our battles, not everything needs to be a fight.

I like this.

This is also a fair point, but it's not exactly like I get to interact with the people making the policy.

Mentally retarded Walmart people greeter is a sign of authority. Lmao

You are under no obligation to do so.

The instant you pay for it it becomes your private property and is protected under the 4th ammendment.

[BraddlesMcGee]

They're under no obligation to sell you chit. In a perfect world there'd be shops for rights absolutists who don't show receipts or allow bag checks and all that, and where theft is rampant and prices correspondly higher, and the other shops where customers who are willing to make reasonable concessions to avoid paying for astronauts and others theft. I'm at the latter.

You might be at a Costco or any membership store, as you probably signed permission for them to do so with the membership.

The 4th Amendment only protects you from the government, so it's laws like assault, unlawfully detainer, theft, etc., that stop them from searching your stuff without your consent.

So like Costco. Literally just described any membership store.

[wrastler163]

just ask if they have a warrant. when they say no just keep walkin

[helpmee]

I just say no thanks and keep walking.

[Xerve]

I honestly let them check it. At wal-mart, it's always some old person who probably needs the money from the job and so not worth starting chit with them. Most the time they just glance at it and say thank you.

[Ying2012]

Try not living in a country of degenerates where this is required lmao

Always some nice smiling elderly person. We gotta respect our elders mane

[redwine91]

other day I had some stuff I forgot to scan (realized after checkout) and allowed them to check receipt anyway. They just look at the receipt and then hand it back. Probably had $30 worth of stuff I didn’t pay for srs

Noticed Walmart cracking down on self checkout though cause I got hit twice for “potential missed scan” and two employees had to clear it so I could continue. Showed video replay of me obviously throwing something in the bag without scanning and they said nothing. I don’t shoplift but I try to get in and out of that sh!those as quick as I can and occasionally items might be missed

Big fukn deal

[BraddlesMcGee]

So if there's some cutie (girl!) checking the receipts, and you go to the change-room and wrap the receipt around your schlong, then walk up to her and she asks to see your receipt, so you unzip your pants and show her... is that not illegal because she asked to see it?
