Just got back from Wal Mart

[Molly's 70]

Just a few items for dinner, a large package of paper towels and a large package of butt wipe. Proudly paid for my items and headed for the door.
Guy at the door gets big eyes when he sees me and wants my receipt. I asked him if he suspected me of a crime and he said No.
I told him to have a nice day & kept walking out the door. He told me good day also.

I was hoping to have security tackle me in the parking lot & drag me back in. No such luck. I even walked to my truck fairly slow.
Was hoping to add to my retirement portfolio. Foiled again.

Sams Club looks at everyone's receipt. It's just normal today with the morality of the public being so low !
So many thieves and so many think the world owes them !
I bet a lot of stores start using facial recognition and if you've ever been caught stealing, you will get close scrutiny.

It's good you made out alive or didn't get car jacked in the lot.

I shop at Costco on occasion. They check everyone's receipt. When I joined, the membership rules that I signed say that I have to present my receipt, or your membership will be cancelled.

Not only that ; they check my membership card to see if the photo id is really me ! Evidently many were loaning their membership card to others !

Quoted for truth. Morality and integrity are seemingly at an all time low. Democrats have “normalized” theft as acceptable in the minds of many. Not mine though. Can’t stand fucking thief.

Went to Walmart too the other day. Had a display case of Krispy Cream donuts. $2.68 a piece. Hell no I ain’t paying $2.68 for a single glazed donut. But that’s another story.

I don’t blame them a bit for checking receipts and am happy to show mine if it cuts down on crime. But when you see people go into certain stores and walk out with a shopping cart full of Milwaukee tools they don’t pay for and find out the store policy is to do nothing about it, makes you wonder. Is it just like gun laws? The inconvenience and burden of the laws falls entirely on the law biding and does nothing to impede the criminals?

We've shopped at a number of wally world stores from where we used to live to where we live now. It seems the more populated areas have issues with crime and theft, while the more rural areas have less of an issue. Where we used to live in Weeki Wachee, we shopped in Brooksville frequently where there is a higher population and more seedy type people shop there, and you had to provide a receipt before you left so they could verify you paid, but where we live now in Chiefland, no receipt checking and we've yet to see crime issues, but here people are very respectful.

Lisa and I were at wally world here in Chiefland shopping, and some young black kid (maybe 15 years old), was with what looked to be his mother and his grandmother, and he said something half assed to a store employee and is mother yelled at him and started hitting him, and then his grandma started in on him telling him you don't talk to anyone like that and we didn't raise you like that. Lisa and I were watching and the grandma turns and looks at us catching us watching them and she says to us sorry about that but we gotta teach these youngins. We smiled and thanked her, and then she grabbed the young boy and said now you apologize to these nice people, and he did.
