Wal-Mart Receipt Checking 1

So recently I noticed that Wal-Mart has replaced their Greeters with acting security that want to check your receipt as you are walking out the store.
How do you feel about this ?
Some people don’t see it as a big deal , not stealing anything ? Then show your receipt.
Other people feel it’s not right. A waste of their time and an insinuation of being guilty of shoplifting unless you provide a receipt as proof of purchase. Even though you just paid for your items. Now there is a secondary line to prove your innocence.
Places like Costco where you have a membership, it’s part of the agreement. But places like Wal-Mart , it’s actually a voluntary process. But by denying to comply , makes you seem as if you are stealing.
Do they do this at the Walmart you shop at ?
If so, how do you feel about it ?

the greeters have always done it at the walmarts here, or at least they have for many years now.
they usually only check your receipts if you have stuff that isn't bagged.
i fully support stealing from walmart

I don't do Walmart much, but as long as they check everyone and they're not profiling, I got no problem. The Waltons gotta eat too.

My local Walmart doesn’t do this.. so what, they check every item on the receipt and match up what’s in your cart? Just seems like that would cause a huge clog at the entrances/exits.

Not every item the whole thing seems kind of random they pick like 2 or 3 items in the cart and verify its on the receipt at least thats what i have had them do.

fuck 'em, leave my stuff alone if self-checkout is such a problem that it is increasing theft, scale it back
Quote:
An apparent step-up of receipt and shopping bag checks at Walmart has sparked customer complaints, raising concerns about shoppers' rights.
"It was not a request, it was a demand," said Penny Rintoul of Vaughan, Ont., about a recent receipt check just before she exited Walmart with her purchases. She said her local Walmart increased its checks in the spring.
"It's very angering and demeaning."
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) said it's investigating the practice of retailers doing routine security checks at the exit, concerned that the way they're conducted may jeopardize customers' rights.
Michael Bryant, CCLA's executive director and general counsel, said retailers should get consent before checking receipts or bags. And if no consent is provided, he said, customers are under no obligation to comply.
"Their right is to say, 'Thanks, but no thanks,' and walk away," said Bryant.
"Some people feel strongly about their privacy and, in fact, the way our laws work, that privacy and liberty is protected."
Quote:
Paula Fletcher of Renfrew County, Ont., said that in August, a Walmart employee watched as she scanned her groceries at self-checkout, and then insisted on inspecting her receipt and shopping bag.
"She did not make it an option," said Fletcher.
"I don't like being treated as a criminal," she said. "If they don't trust us, they shouldn't have self-checkout."
Walmart's recent addition of self-checkout machines appears to be a driving force behind receipt checks. In response to customer complaints on social media, the retailer has replied repeatedly that it's doing the checks to ensure the self-checkout process "went smoothly" and that all items have been scanned.
Studies suggest that stores adding self-checkouts can experience more theft because thieves believe the risk of getting caught not scanning items is low.
Quote:
She said she reached her limit last month when a Walmart employee demanded to check her receipt, just as she prepared to feed her baby before exiting.
"He's like pouncing, 'You have your receipt?'" said Fraser. "I just [felt] like walking out and being like, 'No, no, call the cops on me.'"
Quote:
So what happens if a retailer calls the cops? Toronto security consultant James Reese said a retailer needs to have evidence of theft for police to take action.
"If they did not see you take something, they cannot come after you just for refusing to show your bags or receipt," he said.
In the 2016 case involving the suspected shoplifter, the judge also wrote that "if a store owner is mistaken and no theft has occurred, their detention of a customer makes them liable for … false imprisonment."
However, shoppers rejecting receipt checks do risk being banned from the store, said Reese.
"That's within the merchant's prerogative."
Quote:
Last week, CBC News did discover signs at several Toronto-area Walmarts which stated, "Please have Receipt ready for Proof of Purchase." But a Toronto criminal lawyer argues that's not good enough.
"Just because there's a sign doesn't mean that someone's read it or understood it," said Anthony Moustacalis.
"Consent does need to be fully informed," he said. "That generally means that you need to know that you have a right to refuse."
There's no question that shoplifting is a problem for retailers, especially when it comes to self-checkout. But retailers still need to play by the rules, even when tackling emerging technologies, said Bryant.
"New technology should never mean giving up your rights."
https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/walmart-receipt-check-costco-1.5355527
Quote:
Farr contacted CBC News after he read last week's story about a B.C. man who filed a human rights complaint because the store checked his backpack and not women's purses.
For Farr, who has worked in the security industry for about 25 years as a loss prevention agent, supervisor and now a freelance contractor, the issue isn't about whether the man was discriminated against — it's about the fact that in most cases retailers, by law, aren't allowed to search customers' bags.
"I hate it when I see people having their rights trampled on because [stores] are afraid to lose money," Farr said.
Unless a security guard has witnessed a crime, Farr and other experts say, bag checks could violate a person's Charter rights, which protect against unreasonable search or seizure. There are also provisions under the Criminal Code that outline the rules under which police, security guards and other citizens must follow in order to arrest someone.
The Charter applies to people and institutions representing the state, but Vancouver lawyer Kyla Lee, who has represented clients who were wrongfully accused of theft and detained, says case law suggests that private security guards are sometimes seen as acting on the state's behalf.
"Stores don't have that much power to conduct searches of customers bags or searches of any belongings when they're leaving the store," Lee said.
CBC News contacted Costco, but the store declined to comment.

When they ask to see your receipt tell them to eat a dick and keep walking. The police aren’t going to be their receipt checkers therefore they can’t do shit.

The Walmarts in my area started doing this when they switched to predominantly self-checkout registers. I get flagged pretty often because I look like a scruffy hippy. Depending on my mood and my urgency, I deal with that shit appropriately, I think...never went off on a bag checker at least.

Hey guys I have alot of stories to tell about this. I grew up in Toronto Walmart has the security at the front since I was a teenager. When I was a kid I was poor and used to steal alot.first thers no way for them to check everyone. I used to wait for the door to get busy and just slipt pass. I've even tripped the alarm on purpose and made a gasping noise like some one else took something and left with said item. I grew up stopped stealing and funny enough became loyal customer to them shop there weekly minimum of 120$ a week. One day I was going camping I paid for some groceries little BBQ and a couple bags of ice. The girl said go get them from the freezer by customer service. I did. I go to walk out the door and the security guy wasn't there . He comes running behind me grabs my shoulder and tells me I'm under arrest. I shoved this guy off me and was like no I'm not I'm going camping fuck off. He tried to tell me I stole the ice. I walked him back to the teller and asked her if I paid for the ice. Since then I always crumple up my receipts and drop them on the floor for him. We have a new one a young Indian guy. I think he racist I've only seen him check white people buying lots of stuff. On Friday a coloured guy walked right by him and the alarm whent off and that guy was gone so quick

This isn't done where I'm at. If they did this I'd give them a shitty look and keep walking. If I were in a bad mood I'd probably just tell them to fuck off. Sometimes the beepy thing goes off and I just do the same thing. I ain't got no time fo that

Just keep walking, if you get stopped by police, be silent and ask about why you are being stopped and with what proof. If none can be furnished fIle a complaint and sue Walmart demanding satisfaction.

The better thing is at my almart they put a big huge sign with a flashing blue light right on the very first front and center parking spot that says "reserved for out law enforcement partners" but the cops never ever use it and instead still park in the fire lane so they don't have to walk the extra 10 feet.

It sounds like the only recourse they really have if you don't want to stop is to ban you from coming back.
The only time I can recall being asked for a receipt at Walmart, it was for a Wii U I bought at the back of the store. At Costco it annoys me but I guess it's literally what you signed up for. One of a number of things I hate about Costco.

I've walked out of costco b4 just to see what would happen. The lady was like sir sir sir SIR SIR. and then like tried to get in front of me so I could no longer look like I could pretend to not notice her and the person I was with was like what are you doing so I was like oh my gosh I'm sorry and showed the receipt. I couldn't believe it was allowed by policey for her to get near me like that after I had walked out. I know Walmart has stopped that unless certified in security after the many stabbings on thier employees at some redic high rate and that one time the door guy sat on the guys chest waiting for the cops and the kid died.

they do chase you out the door here if you keep walking
i knew a guy at my last job that worked store security / theft prevention at walmart and he talked about how they would chase people into the parking lot and detain them even tho everyone says they aren't supposed to. He also said they would ban you from the store if you gave them trouble

Yea I don't see how they could detain you legally. You paid for the items you have, and have the receipt/document to prove that it's now yours... so you're not required to show them shit once it's your property.
They're also not required to let you back in the store if you don't cooperate though I guess

as far as i know parking lots are still store property 
he was talking about chasing people into the lot and detaining for shoplifting tho, not receipt checking. Everyone still says that they aren't allowed to do that, but i don't know how all the laws work in regards to shop lifting
Still, the receipt checkers will follow you out the door and try to get you to stop here, at least into the liminal space between store and outside

Yea I just mean whatever you bought is your property since you paid for it, therefore you legally really don't have to show them anything that's now yours.
Idk about shoplifting though, when I was a manager at whole foods we would tell the person they couldn't leave until police arrived, but we weren't able to do anything about it if they tried... couldn't lock the doors or touch them at all. We'd follow them out but just to get a license plate #
I've brushed off receipt checkers a couple times... usually I do any shopping in between class and work so I'm in a hurry. I just say I'm in a hurry and keep walking and I've never had someone say anything or try to stop me, usually I just show them though if not in a rush

I was just mentioning the shoplifting bit because they are checking your receipts because they suspect you may be shoplifting
People do steal using the self check out regularly. Its a pretty common practice to slip stuff in your bag that you pretend to scan. Or scan it as bananas or something cheap instead of what it actually is. Its pretty easy to get away with this if you do it at the right time...

he was talking about chasing people into the lot and detaining for shoplifting tho, not receipt checking. Everyone still says that they aren't allowed to do that, but i don't know how all the laws work in regards to shop lifting
Maybe it's just company policy not to follow them to the parking lot for safety reasons.

More like check your receipt so the don't over charge.
Sometimes at aldis things get over charged, or not even ring up.
Walmart sucks! I don't shop there anymore than maybe 2x a year. The Waltons make 100 Million a day. Fuck them.

This is why I am all for stealing from Walmart. Fuck that place. They are also very exploitative of their workers. If I had to work at walmart, I would be sure to max slack and help people get stuff for free whenever possible
I still have to shop there a lot because I'm dead broke and its by far the cheapest place in town for most things.

i knew a guy at my last job that worked store security / theft prevention at walmart and he talked about how they would chase people into the parking lot and detain them even tho everyone says they aren't supposed to. He also said they would ban you from the store if you gave them trouble
Canada or the US? My roommate back in Saskatoon worked at Co-Op and their training was that once people passed the doors, only trained security staff were allowed to pursue
he also shoplifted magic cards from wal-mart all the time and would just walk through the beepers and leave

Problem is the person goes to their car and wants to leave, and all of a sudden it's a potentially deadly situation.

We have self check-outs here in the Netherlands. Occasionally you get checked whilst paying.
Supposedly random and they only check a few items. But if you failed to scan something you can bet you are going to be randomly checked again next time.
Still beats waiting in line imo

would presume security staff is trained for situations like that the (Canadian) news stories posted earlier seemed to suggest that security staff could physically grab you before reaching the car if they actually witnessed a crime
personally get so bothered by them checking my shit because of my refusal to use the self-checkouts as it is ridiculous for me to be expected to do an employees work but since the doors are so far from the cashiers, the person hounding me to check has no idea who went through which but my hunting camo jacket prolly makes me look more likely to be a delinquent than other customers

no one is "expecting you to do employee work"
Just curious...do you not return shopping carts to the cart port things? do you leave your food all over the table at fast food places? do you put your garbage anywhere in a store because they're gonna clean up at night anyway? I mean, come on...that's kind of a pompous position.

Fair point, it's not an employee's work anymore when they downsized staff to implement them

Yes, that is another equivalent scenario where my refusal to do a (former) employees work comes up, good example do not mind the "inconvenience" of interacting with another person

the guy i knew who worked security was in the US, midwest.
from what I've heard, even if they catch you having something you didn't ring up, technically they can't press any charges because you can always claim you didn't know what you were doing or how to work the machine correctly. You're not a trained employee so you can't be held responsible for not operating store machinery properly. Not sure how much that holds up.
A couple days ago I was using the self checkout and the big ass floor scrubber comes rolling through, driving itself. The thing is fully automated at walmart now.... steadily replacing jobs with machines at the mart.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

My problem with it, is they eliminated the entire express checkout area in favour of the self-checkout machines and despite numerous complaints across the country and stories about the issues they are having they now want to search me on my way out, because their idea has apparently increased theft
even worse is having some piece of clothing with a sensor stitched into it, so I beep going into the store and they happily wave me in and tell me it's nothing to worry about but if it beeps on the way back out, it's clearly a signal of some sort of criminality -_-

Yeah I get that... I was just including some more related info I've heard regarding this whole subject. There are lots of people that make a practice out of exploiting the self checkout to get free / cheaper stuff, a practice I fully endorse. If a huge, mega money making machine like Walmart that exploits workers wants to also implement free labor from its paying customers by way of things like self checkout, then I say by all means make them pay wherever possible. Exploit the system.

Taking shit from Walmart isn’t stealing. It’s reclaiming what has always been rightfully yours.
