The Constitution of the United States does not say anything about Wal-Mart.

It's not just Walmart that does this. If you don't like it you can shop elsewhere?

Just claim they are profiling.

Do you ever shop at Costco?



No, but if you do you sign a membership authorizing them to do so. No such agreement here.

Must not be legal. No mention of Walmart anywhere in the Constitution.

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.



i agree.

but it's a 5 second inconvenience and then you come off as less of a dick.

Op is going to be the worst kind of troll that doesn't participate beyond the op. Shame on him.

Just hold the receipt in your hand as you're walking out the door.

Most of the time they do not ask to see it.

Don't you realize with the self-checkouts you could pretend like you're paying and just bag the shite and leave the store?

Just show the damned receipt.

You're about to have bigger problems with commies like LaToya Cantrell wanting businesses to ask customers for ID so they can be tracked (presumably for CoronaVirus)

Interesting hill to die on.

I've often wondered what's the point in those people other than to provide someone with a job. Surely the aggregate they spend on employing those people nationwide is more than what they save on preventing loss due to theft. Most big box retailers don't go after shoplifters anyway as the liability is too high.

I have no problem showing my receipt. I DO have a problem waiting in line to show my receipt.

Meanwhile, stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot don’t even pursue shoplifters?

Paying one person as a deterrent to 100 thieves is worth it, yes?

Valid point. However, if it wasn't constitutional then they still couldn't do it. It's not constitutional to kill someone but even if they sign an agreement saying that it's ok to kill them, i would still go away for murder.
