They can call the police for theft. I'd rather give them a receipt then deal with the police.

Costco can because you signed an agreement

Walmart and similar can't and won't, just ignore them

[–] nodsocket@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, Walmart can call the cops on suspected shoplifters. They even have their own security force to prevent shoplifting

Not showing the receipt is not good enough cause to call the cops for suspected shoplifting

This is very easy to Google and find out

If they ask for it and you don't have it then that would look suspicious.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, it doesn't. You're not obligated to stop and show anything to them (again unless it's Costco or similar and you've signed an agreement)

Source: literally haven't shown a receipt for anything in over 5 years. Walked right out of Walmart with a TV in hand one day, even. Still never had the cops called

Oh, and again, just Google it ffs

[–] nodsocket@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did they ask and you refused to show it? Or did they never ask?

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Both at varying points in the many years I've done it. They can ask and I just say nah and walk past, they don't fuckin care either

Again, this is all a simple Google search away so you can have more than one random person's testimony at hand

Thank you, gentleman. That lots of good information.
