Same and I don’t even shoplift. I feel like interacting with a human should not be required in order to go shopping. I just want to grab my stuff in peace, check it out myself, and go.
Same reason why I ignore the receipt checkers. I just walk on by. Unless you’re at Costco, they’re not going to stop you.
The people who check receipts to make sure you’ve paid for everything you are removing from the store. OP is saying that the Costco people are hard core, but that other stores’ receipt checkers aren’t going to try to stop you, which makes those places much more hassle free to just shop and go after you’ve paid for your purchases.
Costco and Sam’s require a membership and letting them check your receipt and stuff is part of the terms of your membership. They could, in theory, take civil legal action against you, in reality, they’ll review video and cancel your membership and refuse to let you purchase in the future. Walmart, Target, Lowes, etc, don’t require a membership. Worst they can do is trespass you from the property.
I’ve only had Walmart ask. I say, “No, thank you.” and keep walking. No problems so far.
I just cut shit off the racks or tear the packaging. If it’s in a cage I’m going somewhere else.
