Walmart near me has started using receipt checkers lately and they don’t even really do their job, it’s kind of a gimmick really. They just look at the receipt for a second Don’t even look at your cart, but they stop you every time. It’s just such a waste of my time when I’m in a hurry. I had one person even tell me that it was required by law. No it’s not! There’s no law in the USA that says they have to check your receipt.
Every time they try to stop me at Walmart, I just say, no thank you, and keep walking. Nobody’s ever tried to stop me from leaving the store.
Sam’s club and Costco are a little different. I begrudgingly stop there because of the membership. We technically agreed to it in the terms of signing up.
the club stores have been doing this for awhile. normalization of it is definately another step on the road to dystopia though.
Maybe we could stop shop lifting? It costs the stores money and profit loses to do this.
Security theater, just like the TSA. They don’t need to stop bad actors, they just need to convince their shareholders that they are taking action against losses.
Grocery stores crying about theft after firing clerks and replaced them with self check…
Fuxking idiots won’t connect the two dots because paying people money for work is fucking cancer to the parasite.
Nothing like being treated like a criminal when I go into a store to give them money.
Stores lose a huge amount of money to shop lifting. They won’t risk profits unless it is worth it.
