Walmart Receipt Check

Amazing watching people talk about crap that is not even a factor in the discussion.
They check everyone it makes zero difference if it is self-checkout or through a clerk.
It not a huge deal to me because I avoid Wal Mart at all costs. The few times I go in the store its a hassle but not that long of a delay.
People posting, we are disrespecting employees because of what they make. Dumbest shit I have read in a while. Good god some people are dumb and look to create drama.
That's fine, but that's just not how companies are going to operate. Yes, a few bad apples are going to ruin it for the rest of us, it's been that way for a long time.
I'm in the insurance industry. There are rules put in place that make it super annoying for those of us who follow the rules because of those who don't follow the rules. There are enough that don't follow the rules where it's noticeable to the company's bottom line so new rules are going to be put into place for everyone.
It's almost the only way I shop at Walmart.
Can't wait for Costco to get a pickup at the curb option.
The difference for the business is (I'm assuming) that their employee costs are lower. The difference for me, the consumer, is that I get in and out of Walmart much quicker by having self checkout even with a receipt checker. I'm sure that's not the case for everyone, but then the difference goes back to the business having lower expenses.
Online shopping has been one of the greatest things for my wife now that there aren't any checkout clerks. Good luck filling your cart & trying to self-checkout with 5 kids ages 8mo - 10 years old with you.
You could do it when there were checkout clerks, but not now with self-checkout.
Well duh. Every decision is about less cost in business. That's why Walmart and others have almost no full-time employees. The people in this thread discussing disrespect to people? Start with most businesses that size. They don't care about the average employee. Just show up, do your job and shut up.
I'm not sure how you expected me (or anyone) to respond back to your " it makes zero difference" comment when it does make a difference. In more than one way.
It speeds up the checkout. They still have people checking receipts at the door.
Give people the choice, you know, kinda like we had, before not having a choice was forced on people. If you want to yessa massa on your way out the door by using a self checkout, have at it. Let the rest of us *GASP* WAIT IN LINE while a real cashier/checkout person who actually does something and isn't just a worthless body security guard checks us out and then be on our way.
It has everything to do with respecting people.
Sad that you live your live as an entitled prick.
What a weird topic to be so passionate and angry about. Super weird.
This thread is exactly why we need the OS back. People love to argue about stupid shit.
OK man, we need to educate you again. They don't just have the people checking receipts for no reason, as it would be kind of dumb to pay people to do something for no reason. There are 2 reasons:
1. They don't check the receipt against what's in the cart, but rather they check the receipt for double charges, something that happens a lot when things are being scanned. It's something they can do in an instant, something that they can't do at the checkout counter because it would slow thing down there too much.
2. They mark the receipt so you don't come back later that day, fill a cart with the same stuff, then walk out again with stolen stuff. It's easier than having them check the time on the receipt every time.
BTW, the f'n retards you mention at COSTCO make about 50% more than other stores, both in the warehouses and in the Corporate Offices.
Your inability to read and make inferences has got to be a result of your covid ailment. LOL. I didn't say you were the OP... I said your post was another example of "my freedumbs."
LOL clot shot. grow up.
I'm pretty sure this would increase a company's employee cost immensely.
He’s too busy posting on the Nebraska board while being paid by Nebraska tax payers
Plenty of people who steal have receipts. And they're figuring that out too.
Picked up some things at Meijer this summer when I was riding my motorcycle.
Had like 5 items and my helmet in the cart. Ran the 5 items through the self checker. When I went to pay a red light came on and it wouldn't let me check out.
A clerk came over. Looked in my cart. Said "sorry, this happens quite a bit, our camera system thinks you are stealing that helmet".
Big Brother is watching.
They are employees, they do not set policy. They are just trying to make a living to feed their families. why not treat them like you would Want to be treated if you were in their shoes?
I'm a bit of a insult snob and this thread contains for really good ones. Gonna have some Makers Mark, sit back and enjoy.
Lots of judgemental assholes in this thread who think they are better than others and above reproach!
And my guess is you did nothing but show him your receipt then rushed to your car to get on this board to cry about it?
You seriously do not get it. But not surprised. Welcome to the ignore list.
But you're not shopping at their store, you are leaving with YOUR stuff, legally. They have no right to detain you. They can ask whatever they want. People, you are under no obligation to do anything these people say.
Are they? 14th and superior, is pretty clear. I've driven that plenty of times
My point is they don’t actually check anything. I have cart full of stuff - they literally just mark it that they stopped you. It’s a pointless inconvenience that does absolutely nothing but slow the consumer down.
Also my Walmart doesn’t check everyone so it’s not a store policy to check everyone just randomly.

Why do you think Walmart does it then?
Since they don't check everyone nor every item, how much time does this slow you down by? Minutes? Seconds?
