Serious question stemming from the Security Gaurd thread.

[Pas Tout La]

Oleheat brought up the door geriatrics at Wal-Mart checking people's carts and receipts when they leave in the thread from Hell yesterday. My question is, do they have a right to check it? Once I paid for the goods, do I have to subject myself to being treated as a shoplifter every time I walk out of Wal-Mart or Sam's? It gets on my nerves when I have to wait in line for some arthritic lady who looks as if she's moving backwards to check 10 other carts before I can leave with my stuff. I'm not one to get in arguments over stupid things like this, but for some reason it bugs the Hell out of me and Heat's post had me wondering.

Why does every minor inconvenience have to turn into a Violation of Rights discussion.

Why do Rights even have to come into this situation.

Why don't you one day just walk past and see what happens?

What are they going to do about it?

All you have to do is walk right by them... now if in the membership agreement in places like Costco or Sams says you have to allow it, well then they can do it all they want and if you dont do it you get kicked out of the club... I work at Walmart in electronics and people ask me if i disarmed the ipod or something, and I tell them , yes but if it beeps at them then, just run lol...

Just walk past them. If they so much as touch you, shoot them. It's completely legal, but only if you're open carrying and the caliber is .380 or smaller. As soon as the geriatric is down, you'll want to tuck your piece back into your Uncle Mike's holster ASAP so when the poor deputy who got stuck with the Walmart detail approaches you you'll have both hands free to film the encounter. Do not answer their questions at any cost. Simply yell the phrase "Constitutional rights!" repeatedly until the tazer renders you speechless.

Trust me it's all totally legal I've done it like 100 times.

Are you scared she's going to beat you with her cane if you don't comply?

The greatest right you have is not to go there... Believe it or not, I rarely shop at those cheap Chinese goods outlets..

Since I work there I do my best to NOT go there...

We were just talking about that the other day. Back when Wal Mart first opened it was great. Made in the USA stuff, employees were happy, clean stores, a lot of pride there. Now, not so much.

Thanks for a serious answer. I figured it was in the agreement with Sam's.

Exactly the problem. I don't want her to feel threatened and knock the **** out of me, like others on this site would if they were the Wal Mart SWAT team

I'm not saying I'm going in there with a gun in one hand and an iPhone in the other looking to start trouble and be some martyr. I was simply wondering if I were to walk past the lady, what sort of laws, if any, would I be breaking.

So , where do you shop that doesn't sell Chinese goods ?

With my luck, if I'd have brushed her aside Granny would have shoved a stun gun in my back.

But I know what you're saying. I am not a thief, and don't enjoy being assumed as such. I just decided to use a little mild asshattery to break the ice, and I guess it did the trick.

IF it would have carried on, I would have- reluctantly- had a polite conversation with management. I'm not a 'I'll have your job!' kind of guy- but I won't be the weekly spot-check dummy forever, either.

Sam that lady just likes big tall men.

I ignore them quite often. Two years ago on a Saturday morning I was asked "May I see your receipt" as I walked out of one of our local Wal-Marts. "Uh-No" was my reply. The guy looked as though he was going to have a stroke, started stuttering, and shuffled back into the store looking more than a little distressed. As I got to my truck two young (early twenties) males ran up to me and told me not to leave. Both demanded my receipt. I told them they were not getting it and to go away. They insisted they would call the police. "Okay--call them"--confused looks. Both again insisted I had to show the old geezer my receipt. The shorter one of the two was dancing on his toes, moving closer and then farther away from me, clinching his fists, and burning a hole through me with a "ready to leap" stare. He seemed to be looking for a confrontation. I explained that the corporate policy was that they were not supposed to pursue anyone into the parking lot for any reason and they must certainly be aware of this policy. Silence. "Dude we have to have something for these older people to do" "Fine with me but I don't have to show them a receipt if I don't want to. Now I will be leaving" They looked disgusted and went back inside.

Maybe so!

The WallyWorlds up here are a lot different. They aren't as crowded and the employees actually care about you.

I shopped this afternoon and the "geriatric lady" just smiled.

Perhaps shoplifting is not as much a problem here?
