    I just walk past anytime they ask me for my receipt. The store has their own copies of the receipt. Use that before you harass me. I have no obligation to adhere to a stores policies. I didn’t nor will I sign a contract with a store for groceries.

      I like to give them different store receipts while I walk by. They sometimes give me sas about being one of those people but I’m with you 100%. You literally just watched me pay at the self checkout and you’re still going to accuse me of theft on my way out. Fuck you Seattle Safeway

      Then dont shop there if you don’t like the practices of a store? Bob at the door is not trying to dick you around, he’s just doing his job.

      You have no obligation to follow store rules, most rules of etiquette, people’s house rules, etc. but it sure makes you look like an entitled Karen if you go into a situation expecting to do it.

    tactical security officers

    lmao, if someone harassed me over that I’d tell them to get fucked and stop shopping at whatever shithole store was doing it

    The only thing you should say to me on my way out is something like, “Have a nice day, thank your for spending your money here.”

      “yes ma’am.”

      “…sigh …yes ma’am.”

    Huh.

    Today I learned (from the comments) that there are places where stores haven’t been doing this for decades.

      It’s why I stopped going to Costco. You just saw me check out, you don’t need to review everything in my cart again, gtfo with that bullshit.

        And some of the time it’s not to see if you’re shoplifting, it’s to catch cashiers who don’t scan an item, but take your money, and pocket it. Far cheaper for the store to have one security guard at the door holding up everyone after they paid, then to review security footage of cashiers, or pay cashiers a decent wage where they don’t feel like they have to steal.

            Costco is a paid service with terms and conditions you agree to before shopping there, so it’s not like any other store doing this shit (and at those other stores you CAN just ignore the door guard)

        This is an in accurate description of the business model.

        The selection at each location will depend on a socio economic make up of the area, sure.

        However, their core business is buying “brand” name product from mainline retailers and then resell them.

        So what the quality varies based on what brand you are buying. It ain’t all bottom of the barrel but good shit gets picked over pretty quickly.

        All of this in context of all clothes being turned into plastic waste for profit and as fuck you to the peasants classes. No cotton for you, slave.

      In my area, extremely common target for shoplifters. Like, if there isn’t at least 5 attempts of shoplifting at a Ross store in a few hours, it’s not a Ross store. They usually end up having to close up around here because the losses are so bad. We were down to just one, but it got turned into a TJ Maxx, which is basically the exact same thing.

      They usually sell discount and cheap clothing, mostly. They ahve other stuff as well, but they mostly carry clothes.

    Help a guy out who doesn’t know all acronyms ever made…

    • They’re still using the legacy program rcp to remotely receive files on Unix systems?

    • They’re switching to reinforced concrete pipes?

    • They’re using rapid control prototyping?

    • They’re hiring respiratory care practitioners?

    • They’re entering the reactor coolant pump market?

    • They’re affiliated with the Russian Communist Party?
