“I need to see everyone’s ID...”

I was picking up a couple of groceries for dinner one night, absolutely nothing that could or would need to be returned. As I was walking out of Wal-Mart the lady asked to see my receipt. With out breaking stride I handed her my receipt and just kept walking. I wanted to turn around and see the look on her face but figured I would lose cool points if I did.

 

Nowhere did I say what you just posted

 

Yeah, hindsight is always 20/20, that's why it's best to run everything past the beeb.

 

No, but, something similar happend to a friend of mine who owns a gun store. Guy and girl walk in and look at guns. They leave. Guy comes back with another girl. They look at a few and she asks to see a gun. She hands it to him. He looks at and she says he'll take it. Cashier asks to see his id for the paperwork, background check, etc. She pulls out hers. After talking with the manager, cashier explains that he can't sell them the gun. She went on a tirade, claimed discrimination and all other kinds of shit. They left the store, went to another gun store, bought a gun for him, bragged about it on facebook trying to badmouth my friend's store. It's now in the hands of immigration (he's not a citizen) and ATF and they're getting a good lesson on Straw Purchase.

 

I have some inkling of what this is like through my grandaughter.

In my original post I said that it does seem targeted to the not so affluent in society.

 

You should’ve bought the store and fired him.

 

You're gonna have to ban yourself.

As for the topic: Costco membership fine print says that they will check your receipt on the way out. That's a condition of membership. You agree to it by signing up and shopping there.

WallyWorld/Best Buy/et al can f**k straight off asking me for a receipt. I won't be all rude, I'll just say "No thanks" and keep walking. I've never had hands put on me... not sure what I'd do in that situation. Probably it would depend on my mood and the size of the dude that put hands on me!

 

Just show them your AARP CARD

 

Yeah, but what could he do?

 

Leave Kenny alone we call it a buggy in the South.

 

Oh for sure and it's everywhere. It's mind blowing what thieves will just take and walk out the door like no big deal. Stores will get their mug on camera and maybe another cam or employee will get a plate, but they only get away with it until they don't.

I'm sure it's frustrating for the big corporate chains and absolutely maddening for mom and pop stores. If there's any of those left anymore.

 

It was the University of Louisville's mail library. Our Speed School of Engineering library had undercover robots and lasers and shit.

 

coke instead of pop
straight shift instead of stick shift
sack instead of bag
buggy not cart

What else...

 

Makes me wonder how Broome manages to spend as much time working in a 3rd world country as he does.

 

Every time I see Buggy and South used in a sentence, I think of that Johnny Cobbler song
