Walmart near me has started using receipt checkers lately and they don’t even really do their job, it’s kind of a gimmick really. They just look at the receipt for a second Don’t even look at your cart, but they stop you every time. It’s just such a waste of my time when I’m in a hurry. I had one person even tell me that it was required by law. No it’s not! There’s no law in the USA that says they have to check your receipt.
Considering that the walmart near me uses exclusively elderly and/or special needs people to do receipt checking, I’m not so sure the “charge them with assault if they so much as touch you” is a great idea.
