'It's a messageboard' is never a good excuse. What train of makes you people think it is?
(Along with 'it's just the internet' or 'it's just AIM' or 'I'm just texting'...you know - all these excuses for communication laziness)

10/13/2008 7:10:36 PM

Yeah, I know right.

It's just a message board.

Why would I want to make any effort at all to let people know I wasn't a complete moron.

well...I guess if you're not a complete moron then you don't have to make that effort...

suddenly I don't know what point I'm trying to make.

BUT EVERYONE IS STUPID!

lol @ El Nacho

let me break it down for you

Quote :

"I'll show my receipt when I damn well want to, or have agreed to do so as a condition of shopping at a store (e.g., costco, BJs, and the like).""

now lets break THIS into two parts, damn well wanting to OR as part of an agreement with the store, ie your precious membership stores

so we've already established that there are two types of stores, ones that require this policy and others that simply push it onto their customers with no agreement

next, we have this gem

Quote :

"Pretty sure you agree to that when you purchase from there."

which is JRB's idiot way of saying he thinks the stores that are pushing this policy on all of us are allowed to do so because we "agree" to shop there, he's not even including the membership stores in his response because only an idiot, like yourself, wouldn't realize that these types of stores have already been addressed and it is agreed that you should show your receipt regardless of what happens

so then yours truly merely points out to him directly, not in a general way mind you

Quote :

"im 100% more sure that once i have the receipt on my person, there is no more obligation from myself or from the store to provide any service...thats actually the purpose of the receipt"

which is 100% true because we're both talking 100% about stores that don't require memberships

and then El Nacho rides in on his retarded horse and drops a stupid bomb on us all collectively

10/13/2008 7:20:37 PM

Don't worry. I can see where you got lost. Even if you can't.

10/13/2008 7:23:21 PM

this thread is awesome. i HATE it when they ask me for my receipt. I usually say "I don't have it" and keep walking. it empowers me.


I was just talking to my buddies friday night about how you don't have to show your receipt to the greeters... One of my friends went to walmart the next day and didn't show his receipt. it's a rush.



we also talked about the minimum credit card thing... (which I called out a store once and called the 800 number on the back of my card... the fucking bitch didn't know what i was talking about and was like "yeah some places do that")

10/13/2008 7:23:58 PM

lol why don't you break it down for me?

i don't think i can get to sleep tonight if i'm not shown the real meaning of what i said in direct response to someone else's quote

"show me your receipt" bitch your two faced. Greeters do two things. put a sticker on your shit if you have a return and say hello when you walk in the door

10/13/2008 7:32:50 PM

Damn this thread still going?
Someone posted the correct answer a page or two back:
Most Shrink is caused by employees....
years ago (many many moons ago) I used to work security at a large sized retail location near where this story took place (can ya guess where Christine? ) and our figures
where in the area of 60% internal (employee) theft, 30% external (customer) theft, and about 10% paperwork/inventory errors....we would watch the employees as much as the customers...Oh, and as long as we were on store property us security folks could do what we needed to safely detain a suspect...there were some stipulations of course..the big one is that we had to have continuous video surveillance from the time the items were concealed till the suspect walked out through 1st set of doors...we also called ahead to the local PD to let them know what we had...we never had any issues as far as lawsuits or anything cause we covered our asses...if there was even a remote chance that it was not "good" we let the person go...not worth the risk...the homeless were not too bad...hell, after catching a homeless person for the 1st time we would usually buy them something to eat from the restaurant in our store and ask them nicely not to try it again...more times than not this worked....Since I was not the largest guy in our crew but I could run like hell it would be my job to chase down the runners and hold them till one of the other security guys could help me get suspect detained....I had my share of close calls...had a few knives, box cutters, etc pulled on me...I just was lucky overall...it was fun, rewarding work but the pay sucked
Damn I have rambled on a hell of a lot longer than I first expected to...

10/13/2008 7:32:55 PM

damnit. I take a nap and there's an e-fight while I'm zzzZZZzzz'ing. oh well. Haven't been to the walmarts around raleigh much, but the fuckers in wilmington will stop you, whether you're caring 1 bag or 10 bags. I find it funny that all they do is take the receipt, look dumbfounded, then mark it and hand it back to you. Hell if I know, maybe everyone down there looks like criminals.

10/13/2008 7:41:42 PM

to add to my point I would say we would get 1 customer shoplifter for every 3 employees we would catch trying to snag Tens, Twentys, or larger bills from the tills...employees were idiots...on their 1st day on the job we would bring cashiers back to the security office and show them that we could zoom in close enough on the currency to see serial #s and not to try anything...dumbasses would try it anyway and get popped...I almost became numb to peoples heartbreak stories...so what, you have a coke (or pill) problem? You have no money to buy food for your kid? sorry not my problem...my problem is you caused me to watch you for a few weeks straight then to have to hand write a 5 page report cause you thought you were the smartest thief around...the whole psychology of what makes people steal did interest me though...not always for $$...I had a guy who tried to steal a bunch of (what was then) new PS2 games and what did he have sitting in the parking lot? A Porsche...he did it not for $$ but for adrenaline rush...that was interesting hearing his story...he had been busted several times before and kept going back cause he said to him it was better than sex

10/13/2008 7:48:59 PM

the porsche was stolen too

10/13/2008 7:55:10 PM

^ Nah the wheels was all him....dude was from a well-to-do background (from what little bit we found out) and was all pimped out in a business suit and looked like any other wall street chedda-maker but his addiction was stealin' shit from retail stores...he would risk everything just for that 5 mins of adrenaline rush...I guess whatever floats your boat but it surprised me....this was no teenage thief from the hood stealing to survive or just to get even....this dude could have easily paid for every game he had 3-4 times over no problem...

I wonder what would happened if you did this at Best Buy and didn't show it to loss prevention.

"Joseph Gregorie, a (former?) Walmart loss prevention officer, is going to make sure nobody steals on his watch, especially not in this economic climate. After seeing a 58-year-old woman stuff several items in her tote bag and head for the exit, he introduced himself. She dropped the bag but continued to leave the store, so he "grabbed [her] in a bear-hug and threw her to the ground," giving the woman a pretty impressive looking black eye in the process. They've both been arrested."

When I worked at Best Buy, LP spent more time checking employees than customers. Every employee has to have their coat, purse, etc. checked before they leave for the day. They also have to have their receipts checked whether they're in or out of their blues.

I don't know.

I don't ever intend to find out, since I avoid shopping at best buy.

I was kind of hoping they would. I'd had a bad day, and would have welcomed the chance to physically take it out on someone, under the guise of self-defense.


^As it should be. Not necessarily to the extent that you've listed, though.

if anyone i know wants something from this place they can go fuck them self. even when the employees are off teh clock they still are fucking douche bag indians

I only go to Wal-Mart if I absolutely can't get what I want someplace else. Wal-Mart is where the bottom layer of society's filth go. I can almost smell the squalor when I enter.

I'd shoplift as much as possible if I weren't so afraid of getting caught.

Walmart doesn't do the "PAID" stickers for unbagged items?

1/18/2009 1:17:29 PM

walmart is never a pleasant shopping experience. i'll gladly pay the extra couple of dollars to avoid going there.

1/18/2009 1:20:47 PM

I hate the lights at Walmart.

That's enough for me to not shop there.

I wonder why they chose such bright lights.

the only problem I have ever had with walmart is the long lines at the superwalmart in Wilmington, and whenever I go to buy ammunition (cause it seems like the one person who has the key is always on "break"- code used by the workers there meaning "I don't feel like going and finding the sucka")

1/18/2009 1:52:12 PM

i have been inside 2 walmarts since 2004, and i've only purchased some deodorant and an oil change and that was when we were on tour in iowa and there wasn't anything but walmart and truck stops


and back to page one, what would i give a fuck about walmart's shrink reports for?
