They do, however, have the legal right to check your receipt and purchases.
Unless it's a membership store like Sam's Club, only with reasonable suspicion.
I'm just not stopping if there is a line or my stuff is in a bag. It's silly.
If I'm toting multiple large items, and there's not a pileup at the door, I usually flash my receipt for the person and (typically) they just wave it off. But if my stuff is in a bag, and I clearly just came from the self checkout where an attendant is hovering over the 3 open registers, I'm not going to stop.

One thing I’ve noticed is people will line up to show their receipt. I’m not stopping unless asked.
It’s becoming normalized.
Shopkeepers privilege, I believe is states law, but it appears you are correct. They do need reasonable suspicion of shoplifting. The Walmart people generally only check your receipt when you have un bagged items. Or, items that won’t fit in a bag.
I hate that I haven’t stopped going to Walmart over this, but it’s so convenient. I’ll think about it again for 2026 resolution.
