What liberties are being violated by showing them your receipt? You scared to show the minimum wage employee that you need Depends?

What difference does it make to them what you actually bought? Maybe they want to glance it over and verify it actually looks like what's in the cart. Not 10 things in the cart and 3 on the receipt sort of deal? You're a customer trading for their goods in their store. There's nothing illegal about, unethical or unconstitutional about it. Stop being a trouble maker and stop being a loser.

People sit on these boards and argue and call others rude names but you sincerely seem to me like a miserable loser.

I don't think you meant to reply to me.

So lets flip the question - Do you agree there's nothing illegal about, unethical or unconstitutional about refusing to show a receipt when asked?


None of the drivel you’ve spewed has anything to do with legality or the fricking constitution so just stop with this nonsense.

Why is showing them such a big deal to you????


its the idea of it. Once they have received payment you are under no obligation to let them delay you to search you. Now this might sound like being a bit of a a-hole. But hell you are monitored from minute you drive into the parking lot until you leave. You are watched by security cameras every except the bathroom and maybe even there. Its rare to find more than 3 actual registers open so they force you to self check out and bag your own stuff. Do you get a discount on doing your own checkout and bagging? Hell no, but they are saving on not having as many people running registers. I never show my receipt, I walk right past them and they never ask either. I especially get a laugh out of the mindless sheep who actually will line up waiting for the person at the door to check them out. I just walk right past them. Of course at Sam's Club I comply because that is part of your membership.

I love it how someone claims they're a libertarian and all for private property rights but don't like what people do on their private property within the letter of the law.


You have taken this question beyond its scope. I don't object to their right to do what they did. I also believe I have the right to respond as I did. My question is do thy have the right o bring the police into it . If so then it is no longer a libertarian matter but a legal one. If, as I believe there was no legal basis to demand to see the receipt from either a constitutional or civil right / libertarian position then each side can act accordingly.

The officer then asked why I was making such a big deal of this.


He’s speaking on behalf of all of us.

Give them the receipt

They check mark it with a highlighter

Give it back to you

Off you go.

Whole thing takes MAYBE 10 seconds if not less.


Find something more worthwhile to melt about next time l

The other day I watched back to back people get caught trying to steal water. Both had cases of the big bottles but only paid for one. Maybe honest mistake. but the receipt bandits are there to keep prices lower by mitigating loss.

I never show my receipt unless they specifically stop me. While other people are waiting to get their receipt checked, I just walk around them. Nobody has ever told me anything.

Ok then. Walmart pays to have police on the premises. By acting like an a-hole you’ve opened yourself up to suspicion. At that point they can intervene how they see fit as they’re a private company on private property.

I mean, should Walmart just let people walk out the store with items that aren’t bagged no questions asked? Do you think that’s a good idea with their clientele?

The only time I remember having it checked was when I bought the cheapest blender they had. I used the self checkout, didn't put it in a bag, and had the receipt in my hand. She still asked me. I gave it to her and kept walking. I wasn't gonna return the damn thing even if it didn't work. I'm assuming she threw it away.

Costco does it. No problem with a business being proactive against thieves by checking receipts at the exit. Especially fricking Walmart.

And I thought I was pissed when the UPS guy managed to somehow pull down my phone line cable with his truck.

Since when did making purchases, going through a checkout with an employee, paying for my purchases and attempting to walk out the store with my legally purchased items become acting like an a-hole. I do the same thing in 99% of other businesses that I visit.

Rather judgmental about the clientele. You a Democrat.
Wouldn't matter if I had two small bags they would have asked for the receipt.
