Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. I go there because it's handy for my prescriptions and their pharmacy is nice to work with.
Sam's Club always checks your receipt. Same as Costco. It's no big deal to me whether they do or don't.

agree Scott

I guess they can install thief detectors at the entrances. Then they'll know who to check.

I have seen people come out of there with buggies so full the top bags were sliding off. Comparing items to the receipt would take a while for that.......I always thought big chain stores were insured against theft and didnt really worry about it. Some people I know that work in retail are told to leave the thieves go even when they see the theft with their own eyes.

Pretty sure they don't check receipts down here except at Sam's

I don't make a habit of shopping there

But if they do or start you can bet I am not going to be an (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) about it and do a bunch of complaining.
Not like they are pulling you aside and doing a body cavity search which is the way some of you seem to feel

Another thought is if you don't like their policies, don't keep going back.

In a former life, I tried my hand at insurance underwriter once. Can say with high degree of certainty insurance isn't paying for squat, as they won't lose money either. Insurance will be cancelled if they did.

Who pays are paying customers like you and me thru higher prices. Right up until they close the store when it gets bad enough.

Those employees are told not to stop shoplifters ,are told that for a reason--their own safety.
Some of those thieves also carry guns and knives and are not afraid to use them. And I tell you this from---Experience.

That's part of the membership contract.

No! How many times do I have to check out at that place? When I ring up my purchases myself do I get an employee discount? 1/2 the items in the store don't even have a price marked anywhere I can find, and it's rare to catch a worker with a price check thing.

I’m a retired cop, don’t bother me, I’ve got more time than money……..lol
