I try not to shop at Walmart unless i have to. The last few times I've been I have noticed that there is an employee at the exit door asking to check your receipt. It seems as if they let some walk through and check others.
Presumably to make sure they didn't steal anything. Is this the same for your walmart? Do you show them the receipt or not if you are asked?

I support the notion just because so many folks seem to think they don't need to pay for anything.

Yep. I didn’t steel anything. They also check your receipt at Sam’s Club and Costco.

I'm with you , try not to go there . They've just recently started checking , I blow by when they're not paying attention.

Costco ......you ain't getting by

Nope walk right by my time is money if they want me to stop you will compensate me

No. I just say I already checked it and thanks for the offer.

If the person at each of the doors would work a register they would not have to check receipts at the door.

People are thieves and walk out of stores with thousands of dollars a day. Guess who ends up paying for it all - Us. I think it is rude to the employee and just plain rude.

They didn’t do it the last time I stopped by one about a month ago. If they want to, no skin off my back and maybe it will cut back on the theft and keep prices down. They wouldn’t do it if they didn’t THiNK it was worth the wages. I’m all for freedom, but if you’re letting something like this bug you, I think you’re just being a crotchety ol bugger. I almost enjoy it at Costco….its another chance to have s face to face interaction, smile at the person doing their job, and tell them “Thank you! Have a good day!” One of the simple joys in life. Happy trapping! ScottW

Part of the membership agreement at Sam's and Costco is letting them validate your receipt. You are given a choice. Also, each person gets checked. Not randomly.

Walmart seems to be done on a random basis.

Another question is, when you do self checkout at Walmart I believe it ask you if you want a printed receipt, an emailed receipt, or no receipt. If you were to pick no receipt then what is the point of having someone stand at the door?

Sams we always have to get checked to get out the door. The scan the receipt then spot check by scanning a few items in the cart. Seems to be a legit control check to me and it’s fast so we don’t mind.
Walmart is different here…they ask us sometimes to see our receipt, sometimes they don’t. Nobody ever stopped us to verify your cart to the receipt at Walmart. One time we bought a small table top ice maker for good nugget ice for cold drinks. Guy at the Walmart door asked us if we had a receipt for that printer. I said we have a receipt for this ice maker, but it’s not a printer. He said oh and we walked right on by. Not a very sound control in my opinion.
My Mrs always tells them at Walmart when we buy groceries there we had to check ourselves out and here is our receipt as she waves it and keeps on going.

I don't shop at Wal-Mart.

Yep I do, I have nothing to hide. If there are items on the bottom of the cart that are not bagged usually get asked all the time, and should in my opinion.

They say, can I see your receipt and I say? I sure hope so because you're looking right at it - as I hold it' up and walk out the door.

I don't steal and Im.on 5 checkout cameras ...so look at that

They've done it for a years at my closest Walmart. They only ask you if you have an umbagged item like a TV or something in the bottom of your cart. I got no problem with it takes 10 seconds. As for them working at a register and then they wouldn't have to check, yes they would. What stops you from just going out where you came in and not paying. That's right the one checking the receipt .
Lots of scum out there stealing and that raises prices.

I find it irritating , the notion I might be stealing something.

I hate thieves , if the thieves had a hand chopped off for stealing there would be no need to irritate the non-thieves

I was told if it's bagged I'm good to go.

Nancy Walton paid $300 million for her yacht and it costs $30-40 million annually to maintain. I think their marketing strategy is working.

used to get checked at Sam's it was like spot check a couple items that was their people checking you out.

I must look trustworthy I can't remember ever being asked


now when there is only a self checkout at any store and it requires you to put the 50 pound bag of feed on the little bag holder shelf , I am slamming that like a WWF wrestler , and the machine told me too.
