You are an absolute idiot.

You are probably in your late 20's. If you are any older, shame on you. Just makes you seem dumber if you are.

You probably have a problem with authority.

You probably don't have a job and if you do, it's not a good one (you are complaining about being inconvenienced by showing your receipt to someone making minimum wage at fuggin Walmart).

Get a life.

You're kind of a huge douche canoe.

Just don't shop at Walmart. Target and Albertsons don't do this to their customers.

I'm no lawyer, but I imagine Walmart is private property that you willingly entered and they can ask certain concessions from you for allowing you on their property.

It seems wildly unnecessary to make this an issue, unless you didn't want the worker to know you'd bought enough cucumbers and lube to last the weekend.

They can ask an I can refuse. What can they do? ask me to leave. I was attempting to do so when the sentinel ( 10th time stated , but who is counting)intervened. Tell me what other "concessions" I owe them besides my money in exchange for their products.

Now, since you are so familiar with cucumbers and lube why dont you just get back to them.

Are you still on their property and therefore subject to their policies?

Sure, but I think you’re missing the point. What are they going to do if you don’t abide by their policy? Ask you to leave?

Jebus. In a very small nutshell: Walmart is NOT the gubment. They are a private corporation. They can ask you whatever the frick they want. It is your right not to shop there.

Give you a reach-around if you're lucky? Respect their loss-prevention rules and move on, just like all of the rest of the white folk....

This is so stupid. There was another jackass on here complaining about this a while back.

Don't go to Walmart if you don't like their policies on their property. Go to Costco.

Exactly what I was trying to do until the receipt sentinel and police intervened.

At lease you have a sense of humor unlike most of the sheeple responding.

I wont because of it...I also don't usually comply at Walmart based on the fact that I usually don't have a receipt as I toss it in the trash as soon as I pass one. never had any problem from it...

A private business can most certainly ask for a receipt to make sure you paid for the products you are carrying. Refusing to do so gives the cop the right to interfere on behalf of the business.

ETA: That doesn’t mean you can be arrested, but the business can deny you in the future if you don’t follow their policy.

I know the sentinel was only doing as management directed but I believe the whole premise of stopping everyone is constitutionally flawed and they should only stop those actually suspected of a crime.


Asking to see your receipt is not constitutionally flawed. They are a private business they can ask you whatever they want. You were not detained. You were not forced to show the receipt.

You didn't follow their policies so they made life harder on you. Good on them. Douche nozzle.
