Dislike Wal-Mart’s Policy of Checking Your Receipt?

It appears that we’re not the only ones in the world who hate (and don’t abide by) Wal-Mart’s policy of checking your receipt as you leave the store.

A website called “Can I See Your Receipt: Someone’s Stealing and it Could be You” has been launched to bring publicity to this awful practice. (standuptowalmart.com)

Visitors are encouraged to share their receipt-check horror stories, and the site provides links to articles on receipt-checking and the law.

The site’s owner has a goal of getting Wal-Mart to stop this practice by Christmas of this year… somehow, we just don’t think that is going to happen.

What is the best way for dealing with this annoyance? Well, we’ve been doing this for years and have tried every imaginable response. The best is really the most simple - slowly keep walking past the receipt-check employee, and calmly and politely say “no thank you” when asked.
