LOL RIGHTS

So I finished a lengthy session today and realized I haven't had anything to drink in about 24 hours and it's Phoenix and dry so I'm really thirsty.

I ride over to Wal-Mart. It's not my favorite store but they're 24 hours and two miles away so it's pretty damn convenient.

I grab a ton of stuff. Like eight Powerades, a 12 pack of Cherry Dr. Pepper a 2 liter of sprite and I grab Rock Band 3 for my cousins for Christmas. When I say "grab" what I mean is I ask the lady to unlock the door and then she has to physically carry the game to the cashier. I am not allowed to carry it(security reasons)

So it's midnight, one cashier open I'm in line. Lady in front of me glances around and says "There's no soda fridge at this register?" I say there are at the four cashiers in front of this register but none behind. She laughs and says "Wow you really know your way around the store." She's up next and says "Damn I guess I don't have time anymore" I ask her what she had in mind and just go grab her one without saying anything and she's really happy/moved about this.

THE PICTURE IS PAINTED. I AM A NICE GUY WHO IS NOT A MISERABLE PRICK IN MOST SITUATIONS.

Now it's my turn, I get all my stuff rang up and say, as I always do, "I don't need any bags." Cashiers have a really hard time grasping this. "How are you going to carry it home?" Umm, with my arms? I keep recyclable bags in my motorcycle and just stuff em in there. This saves Wal-Mart money, and helps the environment. I'm a pretty big fan of it.

She says okay and just hands me all my stuff. I'm walking out and the greeter is there (Who didn't greet me on the way in because she was too busy talking to a coworker which is fine because I think greeters are pointless and I hate having to say hi to someone who HAS to say hi to me)

She says "Goodbye, have a good night" to a group of people." Then "Happy holidays goodnight" to the lady in front of me who I obliterated with chivalry not moments ago.

She looks directly at me and says "Actually, I'm going to have to check your receipt."

Actually? You need to check yo grammar son!!

I reply "No that's alright, I promise I didn't steal anything" and carry on.

She rushes up to me and physically stops my cart. "Sir, I need to see your receipt."

"YOU NEED TO GET YOUR HAND OFF OF MY CART IMMEDIATELY."

She pauses briefly and a crowd is now looking at me, she collects herself and thinks back to Wal-Mart training video three's section "Dealing with hostile customers" and simply repeats "I need to see your receipt."

"You have absolutely no right to touch my cart or see my receipt. Get your hand off of my cart and go ask your manager to refresh you on the rules" and just charge forward, sort of tearing her hand off of my ****ing cart.

She scurries off and says "Fine, I will get the manager."

I simply walk out of the store and walk to my motorcycle. These old ladies who probably witnessed none of that say "What kind of motorcycle is that?" I respond and they go "Wow that thing looks NICE! You must love riding it" I laugh and agree, while bagging my stuff.

As I've just finished putting my last thing in my bike a lady is approaching me in a blue shirt. I immediately panic as I could get charged with 5-10 minutes of a stern talking, maybe less if I get off for good behavior(and there is NO. ****ING. WAY. anything resembling good behavior is about to happen)

-Is there a reason you didn't stop for my greeter? (lol like I have to answer this)
-Yes.
-*pause*
- ....
-Why?
-Because I didn't want to.
-Well then I'm going to call the police.
-cool?
-She gets on a walkie-talkie or something(clearly not a cell phone but I guess it may have been a Nextel but I don't think it was) and says "Hi this is blahblah, I'm at store blahblah, I've got a kid on a motorcycle, license plate HOEZ(I wish) he walked out and refused to show the receipt and apparently didn't pay. I interrupt her and ask her if she'd like my address and or/phone number. She says absolutely nothing and walks inside.

All the while, there's a security car of sorts, I'm not sure if it's owned by Wal-Mart or the plaza, but it's ALWAYS there at night, about three rows away stopped(they are never stopped) and I wonder if that's my POLEEEEESSSSSEEE as I start my bike and ride off. It isn't.

Now I find it interesting she said "Apparently I didn't pay" because there's again NO ****ING CHANCE that she actually talked to anyone and came to this conclusion.

If she talked to ANY cashier(remember, there is only ONE) she would have said yes. There's no chance she didn't remember me, or I was mis-described. I'm wearing a black leather suit and I have a helmet in my cart. Also, if she had gone to the cameras(impossible in the amount of time) she'd see, oh yes, he did pay.

I was going to mention this to her, but **** her. It's a miracle I even responded to her with anything in the first place. Oh, also, I have a ****ing receipt that accurately documents everything I bought including a date, timestamp and store number. I just leave and ride home.

So, odds of the police knocking on my door in the next few hours? This probably happened an hour ago and I only live two minutes away and Friday night police are both active and bored, so I feel the odds are slim. I also feel that even if she did call the police, there's nothing they can ****ing say to me anyways.

"Did you steal anything?"
"No."
"Alright, well I guess that's it. ANOTHER UNSOLVED CASE FOR COLUMBO"


I'm sure many people are wondering why I didn't just stop.

There are a few reasons for this.

The main reason is because I didn't want to. I had like 15 items, I just waited in line, I just waited to get rung up. I'm not waiting AGAIN just to get verified.

2.) I don't have to, and I know this. Unless Arizona is different than NY in this sense, which I kinda really doubt, I don't have to. I worked at Wal-Mart. If they can actually PROVE you are stealing(AKA putting things inside your pocket) via cameras they can't legally stop you until you are out of the store, and really that is for Shrink to handle, and I'm not 100% on this but I'm fairly confident that even if a a greeter or cashier saw me take ten candy bars, put them in my pocket and walk out of the store, they can NOT physically stop me in any way, and can only call the manager or shrink.

I also worked at CVS. At CVS we had those door alarms that beeped if you walked out with something tagged and they didn't zap it. The CVS policy(it may have been state law again I'm not 100%) was that if these went off again, no employee below assistant manager could do ANYTHING about it except tell a manager, who could, at that point, do nothinggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg because unless they were able to go to cameras in time before they left the store, they can not attempt to hold you.

Think about it.

Someone who is not a police officer of any kind suspects you of stealing, they have absolutely no proof except the alarm went off(which happens with cell phones, items cashiers forgot to scan etc etc aka it's meaningless) how the hell could they tell you "You have to stay here and prove what's on you"

gtfo greeter bitch.

So it's been a while now, like two hours. Nothing. No phone calls or knocks. I guess I won.



lawlmart

In case anyone actually read all that, and was confused about the bags thing this should explain it



There's two of those sidebags, they mount to the bike and have lids that open and close, they're used for storing things. Inside each one of those is a burlap bag and that's where I put all my goods when I buy something from a store.

I didn't want to be hassled either, that's why I walked out of the store when I wanted to rather than wait for a woman to verify according to my receipt that I did in fact not steal nine dollars with of Powerade(and remember, impossible to steal video games)

Right, but extreme unwillingness to being hassled can lead to instances where you're getting hassled in a big way, a philosophy which on average can lead to a higher HassleEV than accepting some very small doses of hassling some of the time.
12-11-2010 , 03:57 AM
lol no way not even close.

Wal-Mart and best buy are pretty hardcore about receipt checking. Best Buy I can understand because they actually sell things of value and they don't lock games etc. up.

A Wal-Mart greeter has, idk, 2nd? grade reading comprehension, at 15 items that's what, 2 minutes a whack? How long would the police thing have taken, 40 minutes?

You're getting your receipt checked way more than 20 times as often as the police actually stop you in any way for "questioning"

Plus, I bet I never even get asked to have my receipt checked again.
12-11-2010 , 04:00 AM
oh

Anytime I've had my receipt checked at a place Best Buy (don't think I've ever had it checked at Wal-Mart) it's taken like 4 seconds, that's what I thought you were referring to.

I still think my argument is sound though

I disagree. This is how this starts and this is actually very big. Remember 10 years ago when you used to just be able to walk out of a ****ing business that you just did a favor by giving them money without getting detained for inspection, BASELESSLY

You like getting profiled? You like getting pulled over for "looking suspicious?"

Next time you're at the airport and waiting 45 minutes to get a body scan and an under-the-pants feelup from an old man, think of all the time you saved by just doing what someone else asked you to for no other reason than because they asked you to.

Laws, a constitution, we have this **** for a reason.

I'm going to stop by my local police station tomorrow and just ask them what the situation is with them physically stopping me without any suspicious of theft. Wal-Mart has tons of cameras and I'm sure that was filmed.

I don't want or think the greeter should get fired because she was just doing what she was told(or it slipped her mind) but whoever is employing those policies needs to stop.
