Show receipt. Go on with your life. Especially if the sensor alarm goes off.
I don't get why he would not of showed it, but I also don't get why they would BAN for something silly as this. Also how do they keep track? It's not like an internet forum where you can block the IP.
The walmart here doesn't check receipts anymore... I thought this was a company wide policy, guess not.
People try to argue this at the Costco, Sam, BJ's stores here. It's BS...loss mitigation is a big part of keeping prices down...the asshat that doesn't want his receipt marked is the one looking to screw the system.
It's actually helped me a few times with items that got left behind or that I was charged an extra one for.
I was getting my receipt checked at Fry's one time and this dude with a bag walked around me. The clerk asked if he could see his receipt. The guy said no as he kept walking and the clerk just shrugged.
You know how the employees of Fry's are....
I wish a Target would move within reasonable distance to me.
I also loved Fred Meyer when I lived in Oregon.
Well it's not like they can chase them. In retail stores, no one other than the store security/theft prevention people can chase them and even they won't chase people down 99% of the time either cus it's not worth it.
why should he have to show it? at that point its his and if they think he stole something they can have security there to stop him. its also pretty infective way to keep people from stealing. 99% of the time they just mark it whith a pen and don't really look.
the only way walmart can keep track is if security or management reconginze him then they can call the police.
Sure, but he would of saved himself lot of trouble by just taking the 2 seconds to show it. Guess he was just trying to prove a point, that he has the right not to show it, unfortunately that backfired.
Was there not a thread here where a guy complained that he was tackled at Walmart by another customer when he did not show a receipt for an xbox 360?
Yup. Twats like this like to make up bullshit about rights and nonsense being violated when being asked to show a receipt. In reality, this guy and people like him are miserable scumbags who have nothing better to do than try to cause as much trouble as they can that won't get them personally in trouble.
fair deal. stupid on wal-mart's part though
If some asshat decided to tackle me when I said I would not show a receipt, you'd better believe I would press charges for assault, and I'd file a civil suit against him as well.
This seems like overkill by walmart, but they are within their rights, as he is within his rights to do what he did. I don't get why he'd get a warning for trespassing either, unless they caught him in the store again.
The person in the linked article sounds like a very difficult person...
