I don't consider a store security guard to have any authority over me.
You also didn't see a problem with drunk driving...

I just don't get the types that are offended by the employees who check receipts when you leave the store. They're only doing what they are paid to do. They're putting in an honest day's work doing what the person who signs their paycheck tells them to do. It's nothing personal,they're just doing their job.
All the ones here are little old ladies who are retired and need to stay busy so they just don't sit at home day in and day out. I have NO problems showing my receipts,my ID when using a credit card,etc. Why does stuff like this upset people?

To be fair to a dealer/car salesman, I've known a few people that have no intention (or income) to purchase high end sports cars. That didn't stop them from trying to test drive them while they wasted the salesman's time.
If a salesman was doing their job correctly they'd sell the car to someone who never wanted it. Its a two way street.
Every body that walks in is a prospect. There is soooo much idle time for these guys.....
Well, if a person just goes to a dealership and has no ability to pay....it would not matter what a salesman tries to sell them. They would not qualify.
This is the case with the people I knew who do this...thinking it's fun. They would test drive cars in the $75k plus range...knowing full well that could not qualify to by them....just for the "fun" of driving a high end sports car.
That would be irritating to any sales person.

Yeah, if a guy with a 5 year old BMW wants to test drive a new M3 BMW, then OK.
If a kid with clunker Acura RSX wants to test drive that M3..... it's a No Go.

The elderly greeter who checks receipts slows the process of exiting. Sometimes it even takes a full minute. I consider that harassment when I paid for the merchandise.

Sure they do. They are acting as a proxy of the owner(s) of a piece of private property, notably the store. And, while you are in that store, you are free to follow those rules or leave, and the security guard has the authority to ensure those rules are followed, which involves asking some people to leave and arresting others.
At some stores up here, the policy is clearly outlined upon walking into the store that all receipts are checked upon leaving. That's the case at RCWC, which is a wholesale club, and a lot of stuff simply doesn't fit in bags, and they don't need people walking out with pallets of goods without paying.
Getting checked isn't harassment. I think we need more businesses that have paid access only, like Costco. It's a business model that really needs to expand beyond those narrow confines.
When I hear stories of switched oil filters and returned used oil, I am exceedingly glad I don't buy any of that stuff from Walmart. Maybe Walmart should require paid admission for the auto parts aisle.

Don't like it? Go somewhere else, the store doesn't owe you anything.

Then shop someplace else that doesn't check at the door. If they follow you out and confront you, it's gonna take more than a full minute of your time.
Not all Walmarts in my area do the door check, so it's probably at the ones that have the worse problem with people stealing and walking out the door.
PS - never go to Costco if you don't like door receipt checkers.

Thank you for that, it makes it more sure that I know who you are now.
Yep, another thug hugger....
So...in your world, anyone that doesn't kiss the jackboot is a "thug hugger"? Seriously?

And the door greeter doesn't even stop EVERY shopper. I wouldn't mind so much if they were taking down the race and age of those they stop. That's next generation of policing in the U.S.. You guys may laugh it off but it's the truth. Every interaction a loss prevention agent has with a customer should be recorded to identify illegal profiling.
You sure like to rally against profiling, even though you know it's never going to disappear. Maybe you should go after the feminine hygiene product companies. You know, they only market their products to women! Don't tell anyone, though. They try to keep it a secret.

is there anything that you don't find offensive ? I'm sure that grampi wrote that just to offend you.do you ever listen to yourself, when you speak?
as well, the store greeter HAD to be profiling you.
you're too much, man.
soon, your paranoia will surpass that of the "legendary" antique.
thanks for more laughs. take care.

Yep...this qwerty fella is a real piece of work. He's against the police while he favors shoplifters. He's all for handing money to bums and panhandlers...yet gives no such compassion for the working man/woman that refuses to beg and chooses to work for a living.
You name it...qwerty will be on the side of the flake, criminal, bum, drug addict, or racist. Every time.

Again which race with regards to % of the population commit the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF ALL CRIMES in the USA.
I'm pretty certain we know which race that q guy is.
Racial profiling SHOULD be used, it makes logical sense.

Vowel, I have to admit I lied to you. I have an extensive "rap sheet" but consider myself a reformed criminal.
