Information is knowledge!!!!! I used to work for Walmart as a greeter and receipt checker. It's their job to ASK for a receipt!!!! ITS YOUR RIGHT TO REFUSE!!!!!! STAY INFORMED PEOPLE!!!!!
Exactly, I’ve known this for years... I have a friend that works at the doors of my local Walmart often & back at Black Friday 2019 they had a great deal on a 50” 4K UHD tv’s - I bought one (he was off that day) I went through the cashier closest the exit door (although the self checkout were between me and the doors) I paid & headed to the doors, of course I have this BIG ASS tv box sticking out of the cart 🛒 and the woman asked to see the receipt,, I ignored and kept going. (Now as I was between the two doors - the place where the store the carts) She than said something else along the lines that I need to stop & shoe it (again) - I replied something like “no I don’t, it’s not a law” She yelled something to another staff, and they got on the radios... calling for managers or security (loss prevention). I’m out side just standing but the doors for a few minutes & I heard her tell others to make sure to get my licenses plate (I laughed inwardly - because I had already planned this out & called a taxi) Next as I was a bit further from the doors now... waiting for the taxi, I noticed two men over by the doors watching me... they both had the hip radios so I knew it was loss prevention - they just stood there talking among themselves & managers for like 5-7 minutes & just walked back inside... Next one of the managers came up to me & asked it they could just verify the purchase - I basically said to him, “you know better, there is NO LAW that states I need prove my purchase by showing a receipt... if I am suspected of theft the two loss prevention officers that were standing over there (pointing to where they just were), can/should go and follow my movement on internal cameras - where they will verify that I just paid for 1 item at cashier #1 - and you can clearly see I only have 1 item in the cart.” He than tried to make a point of its unusual for people to just walk out with BIG TICKET items with out showing the that the purchase actually happened... Where I than replied “that’s on those people for not knowing there rights, or the laws” Taxi arrived, loaded, left!
@@Alien_Highjinx The Walmart where I used to work required people to pay for electronics in electronics. Then a sticker would go on the box to show that it was paid for. When I worked at the door, I only asked people for the receipt if I didn't see them at the cash. It was a small Walmart so unless they paid at electronics, I could see them at the cash registers. We had to ask for the receipt for the date for people who had a bag or big box.coming from electronics though. I would see the sticker and look at the date because people were using receipts from with other dates and grabbing tvs and leaving. Some people were also doing returns with empty boxes until the courtesy desk was told to look in the box. People were leaving with hundreds of dollars in the carts before we started asking for receipts. There were a couple of guys with loaded carts waiting for the greeters to leave to walk out the door. That day they went out the security door. Once someone didn't check the dressing rooms and a woman tried to slip out with big laundry basket full of stiff and tried to leave, but the doors were all locked lol. Someone asked me why we started checking receipts and i told them the actions of a few mess things up for other people. We didn't have security so it was easy for people to steal.
Yea there’s a guy at one of my local Walmarts who has asked me in the pass and I refuse as he keeps lying saying for the items I have I do have to. I just say no as I keep walking
There are actually police departments that believe it or not do not require annual physical tests. You have to take them when you first start and sometimes the first few years you're on the job. But once you've been a police officer a certain amount of time you no longer have to take them. I can understand lowering the bar a little bit for an officer who's been on the job for 20 years. Because a man who is in his forties isn't going to be likely to be able to pass the same physical test as a man in his twenties. But they're still has to be something right?
not anymore lol anyone willing to be the governments bitch can now police this e entire country is falling apart treated customers like thieves while the actual thieves get paid to work and steal from there
once the items are legally bought they then transfer ownership from the store to the buyer meaning: sorry Wally it's my property as soon as i make payment on it
john milner Not My Problem. Once I've paid, we are done. Surveillance, lost prevention, whatever. But once I pay, it's "Thank you, customer," and goodbye. This is why I do not show my receipt. Have some dignity, and self respect.
Jack Crow Sure it's your problem, we all pay for it on a daily basis. I've seen it myself many times in the self checkout line. You scan one item, you bag the next one, scan one, bag two. What idiot could not see why a store would spot check? If you don't like the policy, don't shop there.
john milner You're correct in that we all pay for the theft, as it must be factored into cost. I get that. True. But unless I've paid a membership, signed a policy, like a Sam's Club, that store policy ends when I have paid. At that point, we are done. Up to that, do all you like. It is not spot checking. Wal-Mart for example, will try to have a line and have everyone comply. This is absolutely a waste of time, mine and theirs. They do not check anything anyway, they just like the illusion of security. I've worked loss prevention. You're looking for the guys stealing a pallet of baby formula, not a person grocery shopping. And fyi, if I ever saw someone stealing like you described, as an individual I would call them out immediately. Where I live, theft is considered extremely dishonorable, and no, I do not see that. There is usually security there, cameras, etc. I would perhaps concede that this was justified IF it stopped theft. It doesn't. I walk past these people to my car, and if challenged, I tell them, "No thank you," and I leave. It's a total waste of time, and not the way to treat a customer. It is their policy, not a law. Once I've paid, our relationship is at an end. If they don't like it, call a cop. I refuse to submit to being treated like a thief.
I’m a Police Officer. If Walmart calls me to assist them with a customer who does not wish to allow them to look at their receipt and items in their bags, then they will first have to explain their reasonable suspicion of him/her stealing from them. Without that reasonable suspicion or probable cause, then they’re wasting my time. It’d be a lot easier for customers to just show the receipt to avoid conflict, but their policy is a slap to every good customer who is simply minding their own.
If you're a cop, you know walmart doesn't call the cops for people who refuse to show their receipt. That would cost AP his job. To call the cops, they need to have proof of selection, concealment, and intent to steal. Policy also only has them make apprehensions for thefts of more than $25, which is why the guy in this video was let go. Had he refused to go, he would've been trespassed.
Bill lupin - Walmart obviously called the police without proof or reasonable suspicion that this man stole something. That’s why he was allowed to leave. That’s the point I’m making. They would have to explain to me why I’m being asked to investigate this matter before I go there. This was a complete waste of law enforcement’s time, and they should’ve questioned the loss prevention employees before questioning this man.
@@thechief5437 Go back, and read my comment again. I don't think you did. In order for your comment to be true, the AP would have to go against all of his training, opting to lose his job, and open the company, and himself to lawsuit, AND every last one of these cops would have to have decided not to follow basic police procedure. And you're thinking that they did this because they thought MAYBE all of this, plus the PR fallout, would be worth MAYBE catching someone who MIGHT be stealing two tupperwares and a box of cinnamon toast crunch?
@@thechief5437 The APA followed this guy, saw him steal something by putting them into bags he brought from home, followed him through the store to make sure he didn't put anything back, saw him go around the registers, called the cops, and made the stop. Guy refused to come with him to the security room, and decided to argue. Cops show up. While all this is going down, the APM is rolling back the footage, and telling an assistant manager what he took. She checks the prices, realizes "oh, hey, he's only stealing two tupperwares and a box of cereal, policy says we don't have to apprehend him," she goes and tells one of the cops that she just wants him out, no charges, and the cop tells him he's free to go. You can observe the video closely for clues. Case in point- this store uses white bags. The carts going by in the background? All white bags. Bags in his hand? ...Mostly white bags. He's using the two white bags to carefully cover the grey bag in the back.
@@JoseGutierrez-yb5ou *their, *their and *their. And their "rules" and "rights" NEVER supercede your Constitutional Rights as a citizen. The burden of proof is upon them to show you've violated the law (even on "their property") and not your responsibility to prove your innocence.
@@meatormilk3572 what constitutional right was violated? The only thing i see violated is that a company that losses millions to theft and "accidental theft" is inforcing a policy that is within their right to do so since it is on their property. I see it no different than a city that has curfew laws in public parks. This is just some person looking to get you tube famous...if you really believe in constitutional rights their are way bigger fish to fry than picking a fight with your local Wal-Mart. Which could get you banned from that Wal-Mart, and I hope it does for any who do this. That would really get anyones " its my constitutional" right attitude straight. If it really was agaist everyones constitutional right, why has no one sued?
@@JoseGutierrez-yb5ou that's not true in any way are you serious? These stores are in the USA and therefore have to follow US laws on every way! Yes they have the right to protect their stores but they need ACTUAL proof to be able to violate a persons rights. I guess they could pull a citizens arrest but if and when they are found that there was no actual reason for it then they can be sued for everything they own...
Arlie Waite Yes. In this case the patron was accused of having items that weren't paid for and therefore weren't his... If ppl accuse him of stealing, the police then have probable cause to search the suspect.
hammerfacejc no it’s not people does need to comply with the store rules and policies and if it states you have to show the receipt can you just kindly show them the receipt This has nothing to do with weights and regulations people just need to show the store the receipt it is that simple stop being a sovereign citizen
Jimmy O well yes you don’t need to show receipts when shopping at amazon because they’ve collected your money already. That’s the point of this video because they think this guy is committing a petit theft by not paying hence they needed to see a receipt.
Walmart can deny service to anyone for any reason at any time. If you refuse to present a receipt after purchase, they can have you legally trespassed from the property unless you present the receipt. If you continue to refuse, you can be arrested for trespassing, at which point your belongings _will_ be searched as incident to arrest. For trespassing. Private companies are under no obligation to uphold the constitution since you are not obligated to give them your business.
@@Aeghamedic At no time do you have to show your receipt. Yes Walmart can deny service, however if the products already have been paid for, then Walmart is no longer offering services. The services have already been given, so denying services is moot. You are correct, Walmart can trespass you, but that's all they can do. And yes, they can have you arrested, if you refuse to leave after being trespassed. But why would someone that wants to leave, refuse to leave after they are trespassed. The only reason why the person is staying at Walmart, is because Walmart is forcing them to stay.
fuck yea thats the truth. when i worked there many employees got fired for stealing, but most had done it many times before they ever got caught, and many more didnt get caught than did
A story i heard at my local walmart was that one of the cashiers were double printing receipts. Then she would go out and find the items and refund them for cash. Got caught and arrested after who knows how many attempts. They said she did it multiple times
Kee Lee damn thats a pretty good idea if u quit while ur ahead haha. Problem with ppl is, once they get away with something they just keep doing it and doing it instead of stopping while they are ahead
I love seeing people stand up for their rights, I would like to see the cops stand up for our rights also and not assume Walmart is right from the start.
Andrea Leigh that's not what happened at all actually. Notice the body cam the cop has on? He's recorded during his entire shift. Don't talk shit about the cops responding to a call, they're doing their jobs. This is Wal-Mart's bullshit.
Asron McGinty seems ironic that they start whispering at the end, the Walmart woman comes over, and after saying something quietly under their breath to each other, he’s all of a sudden “free to go”. I appreciate cops. Ones who uphold the law, don’t waste time and harass innocent people, and who take their jobs seriously and act FAIRLY.
Great job standing your ground to those pigs, and the ignorant workers. You remained calm, cool, and collected. You were clear, and concise on verbalizing your knowledge of your constitutional right. My hat's off to you sir.
I love leos they have tough job and it's not their fault Walmart the real bad guy is ignorant as to the law. It's sad that the police which could be doing more productive work had to be there.
A few weeks ago I was in Walmart buying a few items. I went through the checkout line because I don't believe in the self-checkouts. That's what cashiers are hired for. Anyway. I was carrying two bags out and the greeter. An older man, mid-70s I would guess. He asked to see my receipt. I said no but thank you for asking and kept walking. He told me to stop and he grabbed my shoulder. I spun around and shot him a look. I said. Can I help you. He said he needs to see my receipt. I asked him why he needs to see my receipt and was I suspected of stealing anything. The guy says no. It's policy. I said who's policy, yours or Walmart. He said Walmart. I said go get the policy and show me where it says that a greeter can act like a security guard and randomly stop people and ask for the receipt before they walk out the door without any suspicion of theft whatsoever. I also told him. That if Walmart's policy is for him to play the role of a security guard, he should get paid Security guard wages. I could have walked out right then cuz I won the battle of wits. I told him to go get his manager I want to speak to him. We had a discussion about this is America and Americans have the right not to be stopped randomly buy Walmart greeter needing to see a receipt when of course there was no suspicion. He apologized but he said they're not going to change their policy. I told the manager. Then you need to pay your greeters more money if security guard is also in their job description. Yes I know it would be easier just to show the dude my receipt and 10 seconds I am out of there. That's not the point. The point is, this is not Soviet Russia
Jim Henline Not necessarily, a 2minute clip which proves nothing cannot be used to determine whether he was illegally detained. There's also laws to protect businesses' right to detain suspected shoplifters for a 'reasonable' amount of time. If I had to give an opinion, I'd say the 2 minutes we saw him detained was a 'reasonable' amount of time.
Lagon78. In this two minute video the police and wal mart employees both state they are not accusing him of theft. Since they are not accusing him of a crime, and he wants to leave and they are preventing him from doing so until he shows a receipt, and he is not legally required to show a receipt, we can determine, from this two minute video, that in the two minutes we see he was illegally detained. I say he was illegally detained because they don't suspect him of theft which means shopkeeper's privilege does not apply, he wants to leave, which means it is not a consensual encounter, and they are refusing until he shows the receipt, which he is not legally required to do. So in my opinion yes, in this 2 minutes video we can in fact see that he was illegally detained.
We only saw a 2 minute video, what happened before the footage we are allowed to see? Why isn't that on this video? Something prompted these guys to stop the guy.
He is exactly correct. There must be evidence of wrong doing to search or investigate. It cannot be random or suspected. There must be video evidence. It's called burden of proof and the burden to prove lies with Wal-Mart and has to be shown first to search or investigate. ITS THE LAW!
Trish Parr except in places where it is in the member agreement contract (like Sam’s and Costco). Read the member agreement, there you are willing giving up your rights. If I was asked to show my receipt at Walmart I would say: “After I show you my receipt, I am going to sue you for falsely accusing me of theft. Do you still want to see my receipt?”
@@cliffnetheran1993 --- well you can and that's clearly stealing. But what Wal-Mart needs to do is show proof that you stole the TV at which point you would have to show proof you didn't. What happened here is the fact that the person was approached and asked to show proof/receipt, without Wal-Mart first providing any proof that he did anything wrong. We are innocent until proven guilty. Remember that.
wtf arent you dropping lost tapes 2?? get back in the studio fuck shopping! rappers cant shop comfy at walmart tf you thinking..I mean u have heard of dababy right?! lol
Actually all 50 states allow for shop keepers to request proof of purchase. You do not actually have any “rights” when purchasing from a private retail establishment. You do have the right to NOT shop there, and while I do encourage everyone to exercise that right when it comes to Wallyworld, they do have the right to request to see proof of purchase. Most retailers don’t ask unless they have legitimate belief that a crime was committed because it is poor customer service, however, they do have the right to if they choose to.
No, they have to witness the selection, witness the concealment, and witness you exit the premises. Then it's theft. They can not lose track of you or lose view of you. It has to be viewed in a continual manner. Although if they have a video room with an actual person watching said activities, and they track you at every moment on camera, the loss prevention officer can detain you and ask for merchandise back
Knygt you might be confusing the law with a corporate policy. Stores provide ample ways to shop without concealing an item. Once it is hidden it is considered theft. Most places don’t want you to approach outside the store so you are wrong there as well.
@@daren32909 Rather the reverse. You're confusing law with policy. The LAW says it's not shoplifting until you show intent to steal. If you put an item in your pocket, that might just be a convenient means of carrying said item to the register. Whyte is 100% correct. You have to observe the person take merchandise beyond the point of sale without paying to make an arrest. Selection, concealment, and intent.
The store must accuse you of a crime (shoplifting) and then the cops can legally search you. If you did nothing wrong you have a slam dunk lawsuit. I won $23k lawsuit against Kmart over 20 years ago for this when I bought a battery and paid for it at the auto section cash register and they chased me outside. They stopped me and asked for a receipt. I informed them that I did indeed and started walking away when one of the guards grabbed my arm to stop me. I told them to immediately call the police (no cell phones then). In the mean time they went and asked the automotive dept and found out that I had indeed paid and told me I could go. I told them that wasn't going to happen because they had detained me and not only detained me but did it physically by grabbing me. I filed assault charges (they were dropped) and I hired a lawyer and got a nice check for my troubles. After that I worked security for tj Maxx and they knew the rules. They told us we could not stop anyone for shoplifting unless we saw them conceal something and we did not take out eyes off of them just in case they dumped it in the store before they left.
scott silver that policy was kmarts policy too. The suspect also had to be past the last point of sale before they could be stopped. I used to do loss prevention for Kmart. The ones that stopped you were just too gung ho and didn't care about the policy.
michael brown that and it was probably 1985 when it happened. Even then that is how it was supposed to be done. Cops can't search you without accusing you of a crime so certainly an employer at a retail store cannot.
They're pulling that crap here in Puerto Rico with these Walmart mall cops. It's has already been stated that they DO NOT have the right to ask you to produce a receipt. You only have to produce a receipt at membership club stores as stated in membership rules. Many have been conditioned to shows receipts and Walmart keeps on pushing the legal limits. Shame on them!
+Ryan A I don't consider that frivolous, they stopped him, wasted his time, put hands on him, and created a generally embarrassing situation. People gossip, if they see you getting stopped outside a store then you have a story about you being a thief running around town. A 23k settlement is diddly for a large retailer and it's a nice wake up call for them about their polices and training. If nothing ever happens, they will keep bad practices. It's not like he sued them for 10 million dollars.
It's amazing what they get with until they come across a citizen that knows their rights, rights that the government is taking away from us one at a time
redeyetrucker67 get over yourself...geez your not going to Russia you buy an Item you show your receipt you leave....see the little piece of paper with numbers on it ...thats your receipt your proof of purchase
redeyetrucker67 I'm not saying there are no bad eggs but our government and services men and women within that government like law enforcement and military work thanklessly to not only protect us but afford us more rights and freedoms than pretty much the rest of the planet collectively. I don't know where or when we lost the concept of community but if everybody works together it takes little effort on the individuals part to move mountains. These officers don't know you or your intentions, cooperate so they can ensure the safety of all parties and their assests so they can respond to more important matters.
C Burkins, 'private property has a right to request" Yes, they can request but they cannot demand. One does not give up their constitutional rights when they enter a store open to the public. You DO realize that in order to be detained and forced to prove you purchased an item, there must first be a claim that you stole that item? Barring that, everyone who shops at that store is automatically suspected of theft. The only time I get pissed is when the 'greeter' actually sees you pay for the item and walk towards the door. Kind of stupid considering they seldom even look at your items, its just a form of forcing the citizen to submit to authority. And if you give a private store authority over you, then you may as well give up any thought of being a free person.
CALIFGUY 53 dont go to the private store then. That was what logical people call sensationalism which is used by/for those who don't have much else so they exaggerate. What people (and apparently you) fail to realize are the legal rights provided to private enterprise as well. The law doesn't stop at "the constitution " even though that's the simpleton reference of choice.
Pineapple Jack, actually if you watched the video again, you will find out you are entirely incorrect. At the very beginning, the officer says 'when did I accuse you of anything?". That clearly tells me that there was NOT a claim of shoplifting made. i have worked security for strip malls and believe me, police DO random patrols of those centers. Their job is NOT to investigate a non crime, in fact someone in loss prevention must witness what appears to be shoplifting, not just a hunch. Whether the guy was a loud mouth or not, he was standing up for his rights. The courts have ruled consistantly that once you pay for an item it belongs to you. NO ONE is ever forced to prove their innocence especially if no crime has been reported to begin with and from the very beginning, it appears no one said shit about shoplifting or had made any such claim.
I even went thru a "legal" california check point today. And made the same argument. Cannot ask, illegal search/siezure, and violation of 4th. The cali agriculture slime even tried to open my back door and threatened with calling the state patrol. I said go ahead but while u call them i will call the US marshals office, and demand a warrant. They let me thru.... know your rights and dont surrender those rights. These.folks work for YOU not the DA.
here is how you handle this: give them your receipt and ask her to follow you to the return counter and return the crap. Then stop shopping their. if everyone did this than this will stop.
Joe Vorachack Hey "smart" guy, or should I say "sheep", Walmart doesn't have to give U $ back, they issue u a "gift card" in the amount of the return if the return total is greater than $10. Do ur homework and grow some balls.
God. The 👮 are standing there looking dumbfounded 😂 Walmart needs to be boycotted. They are killing folks over these receipts & suspected shoplifting. Crazy shit man.
I don't get it with WAL-MART. Put sensors at the door. If the sensor beeps, that's cause to search the subject, and/or look at their receipt. WAL-MART'S scared of the sensor making a false alarm, they search an innocent person, then gets sued. Instead, they figure we'll search people randomly (catching a few every so often) and make it seem like normal protocol. Well, people are tired of being treated like criminals just for shopping. Put the sensors back up.
They have sensors, and it's not cause to search the person. That's cause to ask for the receipt. Odds are fairly good that it was just a security device that didn't deactivate properly. They don't search people randomly. They ask for receipts for customers with unbagged merchandise. Also, it's not to catch thieves. It's meant to catch cashiers forgetting to ring up large items at the bottom of the cart. Now, when there's half a dozen cops demanding your receipt, it's because they already know you don't have it.
Those camera's work and ppl most of the time are watching ppl steal booze,food,cloths,cds, but this "most show a receipt or you are suspect" is bullshit.
@@dadscavaliers642 if your a big enough douche to cause a scene over proof of purchase then your a big enough douche to steal.... Those against have the same attitude as thieves do when caught... It's no coincidence....
@@joshwalters3148 good point, i considered that. I have seen it both ways ppl throwing a fit trying to avoid getting caught & tho a cop was there the store did not have evidence ready to go when confronting the person, so its put up or shut up, im not playing any gms.
We do have sensors. Not always reliable as you said but let me know when security ia placed on FOOD. NON EXPENSIVVE HOUSEWARES. SEASONALS. PET SUPPLIES. tell me when will sensors be on those? Because those dont have security right now. Yet you think somebody should be allowed to steal a bag of dog food or pack of toilet paper because it doesnt have security to set off the alarm?
I had a 40pk water with me walking out of walmart along with some other stuff , when i walked out , i was asked to show receipt because the water wasn't bagged 😑 how a big ass pack of water going to fit inside some cheap ass plastic walmart bag ?
Lebrun Jemz don’t be that douchebag, that affects the bonuses that many of the employees rely on. It’s as bad as not tipping a waiter. I won’t even have enough for Christmas this year because we lost a million in a store that receives little business.
They don't think you're stealing it. Water is often loaded onto the bottom of the cart, which makes it very easy for customers to forget they have it at the register, and it's very easy for cashiers to miss it for the same reason. Officially, the policy is anything not in a bag, but heavy objects loaded under the cart is one of the things they look for.
@Your Favorite Driver By UA-cam Person You're not one of those people, that will run over people that is in path, than to take a detour around them, are you? There should be a speed limit, or a red light inside Wal-Mart. lol
I HATE CLUB WALM!! This is exactly why I don't shop there anymore!! I used self checkout a few years ago there, the lady asked to see my receipt, but didn't ask anyone else for their receipt. IT'S INFURIATING to feel like you're being treated like a criminal at this low-class establishment!!! Good for this gentleman for standing up for his right!!!
Yep it was middle of the night, the only choice I had was self checkout which I hate. The employee was supporting a post falling asleep , but managed to watch me the whole time then proceeds to ask me to see my receipt, I kept walking and told him to go back to sleep.
These repeated incidents at Walmart are simply due to the caliber of people they attract and the caliber of people they employ. You don't see these conflicts at Target or most other big retailers. Shopping at Walmart is like going to the zoo.
Yes you do. Happens at all types of stores. Target is the same fucking thing as walmart I see all the same fucking dregs in there that I do at walmart. I had security follow me around the whole store while I pent $200 on their junk products that are no different than walmarts. Even told the guy I knew he was security and other people were actually stealing but the guy in a hoodie is the one to watch.
Marbles.... I cannot find a link in the first five tries... And I'm not going to look any further. It was a story in a news paper when a store had a person arrested for shop lifting after refusing to show a receipt. There is no burden of proof of purchase for something that you own. the burden is on the shop to prove theft.
They had it, I'm sure. Thing is, they only apprehend for $25 and less, and eyeballing his bags there, I don't think he had $25 in 'em. Two tupperwares and a cereal box. That's probably what the manager was telling the cop, when she walked up in the back there. And no, they don't produce evidence right there on the sales floor. They'll ask the person to accompany them to the security room, and produce the evidence there. The fact that cops were waiting for him tells me he was doing all sorts of shady shit, prompting them to call the cops in advance of him walking past the POS. (And no, if the cops are already there, and they have evidence of you stealing, they'll just provide the evidence to the cops in said security room afterwards.) If you've ever worked in retail, you know the shady shit I mean. Pocketing things, putting them on the shelf a few aisles away, scanning the room for people, looking up at cameras, and making 20+ laps of the building to spot pursuers, lingering in spots with high value merch, and areas without cameras.
They have the dam buzzers at the door also to show if someone stole but instead they pay lazy ass people to stand at the doors harrassing people claiming they're stealing.. Oh yea dickweed everything is in bags but the soda but yea I definitely stole the soda I just walk passed them or show them and say ain't it sad they pay u guys to harrass every single person who spends their hard earned money at Walmart who pays you so u can make it in life 🤣
I got asked to show my receipt for a coke and a bag of chips. I didn't feel the need to make a big deal and make a video, but, yeah, I didn't exactly feel like my patronage was welcomed or appreciated. My thoughts were, you suspect me of stealing from you instead of thanking me for shopping at your store? Not a good way to retain my business.
Once you have paid for the goods, they are yours now and you don't have to prove shit. Just walk out with YOUR property. If Wal-Mart thinks that property does not belong to you, they have the burden of producing evidence to that effect.
Tell you what. For all of you that will continue to shop at walmart, try this, if they are so hell bent on checking your receipt tell them you want to go to customer service and get a refund for all the stuff you paid for and then take your business elsewhere. Bet that will stop all of that bullshit and the only people they will have in their store are shoplifters. It will cause them to go out of business as well. They don't pay their people worth a damn and they think you owe them something just because they have low prices. My belief on buying something is to pay more so I pay no more.
Sugarfat Blackman especially if the alarm never went off. I had a old lady harrass me cause I had a box fan and a big thing of toilet paper in my cart. I just keep walking and told her I pay for all my shit.
You're right.. and wrong. They do have the right to stop you, search you without a warrant, and question you. The 4th amendment does not apply to private security persons, such as these Walmart employees. However, they can not physically detain you. They can block your way and ask you to stay, but by law you don't have to.
Yes, they should have just shown the receipt and been done with it...or not shop there. Wasted everyone's time by not understanding private property and what it means.
The entire purpose of the Constitution is to: 1. Refuse them and not answer questions. 2. To shuuuuut them doooooowwwwn! 3. Stay free and not be violated....This guy is a true Patriot who stands for freedom in his daily life.
Why spend your hard earned money at a place who's policy is to ask you to show a receipt for things you just purchased? The intelligent person would shop elsewhere.
LOL, you are really over-eastimating the intelligence of this man. he shops at Walmart because he does not know any better. he prefers to complain and record footage versus taking his business elsewhere. TYPICAL
Yes, but precision is only nine tenths of the law. What makes something yours is that proof you paid for it. Most people don't argue about things or the ownership of something outside of a retail business. But then it's up to the court to proof that, watch Judge Judy more. But in the store management does have the right to ask, in this case they took time either to check video or talk to the sale clerk to see if they paid. But those of us who live in the real world, just hand over your receipt. It doesn't make you look like a jerk one UA-cam.
@@rockstarofredondo They're cops. If you notice, the fat one is wearing the same uniform as the others. Walmart doesn't hire security guards, and AP isn't allowed to wear cop/security outfits. The ap manager wears a suit, the apa's wear casual clothes (they're the plainclothes guys who follow you to witness shoplifting,) and the customer hosts wear yellow vests, they're the ones you see asking for a receipt. There is one time, and one time only, that walmart brings in off-duty cops to act as security, and that's black friday. They aren't there to apprehend shoplifters, but to prevent violence.
for any employees of any establishment or commercial enterprise to ask for a receipt of your recent purchases when your leaving a store is against federal law these stores don't want you to know that...Don't show it!!
It is not illegal for any establishment to ask for a receipt as long as the items are not in bags. They cannot ask for a receipt if the items are bagged.
Ana Spellman technically tru, you can ask anything, but you dont have to comply. If you purchased it its yours, the burden of proof lies on the accuser.
I bought a tv at your place. Im gonna load it into my car and leave. I dont need to show you proof that you sold it to me. Furthermore i own almost everything at your place
Costco has someone checking each and every receipt before a customer can leave their store. They've been doing it for years. I have no problem with it. If walmart is asking to see a receipt, you can bet he shoplifted.
@@yfs24816 they can ask but legally cant detain withoit proof and if they do detain then you can sue for violation of unlawful detainment and illegal search and seirure as welll as pain and suffering. Keep kneeling down to cooperate america and loose all your rights.
Rekreated1 private property. If owner states or post restrictions that doesn't violate law, upon entering premise it's presumed u aged to terms of that agreement. That's just my 2 pennies.
But it does violate the law. Once you have purchased the merchandise, it is now your property. It is not theirs. They do not post their policies. They think because it is in their break room, in a binder, it applies to all on their premises. It does not and NOTHING can be written that violates the law, which this does.
THE MOMENT THEY IMPEDE OR STOP YOUR TRAVEL AND TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE. CALL THE DAM COPS AND TELL THEM YOUR BEING ILLEGALLY DETAINED BY WALMART EMPLOYEES AND YOU NEED AN OFFICER IMMEDIATELY. THEY WILL SHOW UP AND THEN TELL THE OFFICER ONCE HE UNDERSTANDS YOUR BEING ILLEGALLY DETAINED FOR NOT SHOWING A RECEIPT. THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRESS CHARGES.
They do! Saw a women/kids in a supermarket, a cart filled to the top, head right to a empty check out line and bagged it all up, and headed out the door befor stopped.
I called WalMart and told them they should have signs at register that says before purchase by purchasing you agree to show proof of purchase receipt at the door.
If only people could fight for an unborn baby's life like this fight for an innocent life that are being aborted for their body parts and your tax dollars are being used for it
Ryan A Luckily amartronics don't pay taxes. I'm never giving a dime until abortion is considered captial murder. Punishment? Death penalty. You take the baby's life? We take yours.
I once had a humiliating experience at a store. A lady (shopper) accused me of stealing her wallet. While we were shopping she kept looking at me so I would look at her too wondering why she kept staring. She took that as me being a thief I guess. She called the cops and they came and searched through my cart to make sure I didn’t have it hiding underneath my stuff. It was so embarrassing. I should’ve refused but I was shocked and just wanted to leave.
This has never made any sense to me. You set up self-service checkouts, and then have "checkers" checking receipts at the door. Here's an idea: instead of "checkers", hire some cashiers to check people out. That way customers don't have to provide a service Walmart should be providing, AND Walmart gets to check the receipts when the cashiers hand them to the customers. As an added bonus, customers don't get pissed off having to prove they paid for items that they already own. What a concept.
They ask for a receipt after I go through a cashier checkout. I say no and keep walking. They try to make me stay I will go to customer service, ask for the duty manager, explain my rights and make the manager return All my items and give me a refund. If more people do this they will drop a policy that violates the fourth amendment. It is a private store. They can have a policy. But when they trample my rights then I have the right to return my items. Do this everyone every week. Make sure it is big like groceries. And then calmly walk out. Every week. The policy will change when they don't make money. Don't just stop going. Inconvenience them for making you feel like a criminal. They have to prove you stole. The burden of proof is on them. Call the cops if they try to detain you and say you are being held under duress at WalMart. Make it a big deal and it will change or they will go out of business.
For you dumb shits that dont understand contract law. There is an offer, an acceptance, and consideration. Once the product is offered (for sale by Walmart), acceptance (picked up by you to purchase) and consideration(The payment for the goods offered), ownership of the goods transferred from Walmart to the consumer. Standing inside of Walmarts property means NOTHING. Walmart has no authority to demand anything. For the warehouse clubs, it is written in the agreement you signedthat you will show your receipt as a condition of the membership, but at Walmart, there is no membership. NEVER show your receipt. You do not have to prove innocence, or that the property is yours.
frank sullivan sr suspected is a vague term, since stopping people to check their receipt is part of Walmart’s policy, you walking away when asked to give your receipt technically gives them probable cause that you have stolen. I agree it’s fucked up but it’s how the law works
@@PPMOCRG finally somebody is on point! Wal-Mart employees and security have the right to verify receipts, especially if the items are high value items that are not in a bag. The customer can refuse, but Wal-Mart can record their plates, review the cameras, and call the police if necessary. Also, Wal-Mart can verify receipts under the suspicion that someone maybe stealing. Again, the customer has the right to refuse, but that means that they want their plates recorded by Wal-Mart.
I stopped shopping at Walmart when they now require everyone to stop and show a receipt after just paying. It’s so bad the woman at the door can watch me check out and still ask to see receipt. Walmart where we treat all our customers like criminals!
So this is a common thing and I just like to share a little bit of information for my own experiences.. One I'm from North Jersey I'm white I'm overly tattooed big beard long hair so I'm very commonly stereotyped by the way I look I shop at Walmart with my wife on a very regular basis and almost 80% of the time while exiting they try to check my receipt.. Here's the deal if you're holding your receipt in your hand they could see you have it just keep walking they don't have the right to check your receipt and they don't have the right to put their hands on you.. Not even there supposed security has the right to put their hands on you.. This is via the police.. If there is no posted sign saying they have the right to search your contents at exit then they dont have the right..
alan x no because I have a beard long hair plenty of tattoos the way I describe myself visually Society thinks of me of a certain way when I am the first one to get out and help someone when they need help so the judgment is there otherwise I wouldn't be looking for attention on it pal so don't fucking come across like that... Is a funny thing I commented on something... I didn't need your comment on my comment this isn't a debate this is my opinion fuck off... And and considering it has nothing to do with look on why they're stopping people at Walmart it's still against the law and this is what the video subject matter is of I'm just highlighting the fact that they stopped me a little bit more frequently considering my look.. And that's a fact,.
There is no LEGAL or contractual requirement to show a receipt at Walmart. I. The case of SAMs Club you do because you agree to and have a binding contract when you got your membership card. The customer can defend his property.
steve b You're a smart one. Surprised you have internet in them sticks. I won't even entertain your stupid comment for you made yourself look like the DUMBASS.
Alien Being Dumbass! You agree to Walmart's policies once you decide to enter the store and shop there. You give implied consent. Look it up. Show your receipt or shop elsewhere. Pretty simple.
Alien: Once again, you are an idiot making assumptions. I am a lot older than you are. Were you in school when JFK was shot? Didn't think so...I was. So, abide by Walmart's rules, or don't shop there. What part of this do you not understand? Personally, I don't shop there because in my town, they have a policy against carrying concealed weapons, which I carry all of the time. All they are doing is creating a "gun free" zone which is really another word for making the place a target. But, that is their right to do and my right is to not shop there. See? I don't go in and film myself arguing with security about carrying a weapon, and preach about the 2nd amendment...I just do not go. That is all I am saying. Please do not assume as you know what happens. PS I use my company name here and do NOT steal music or any copyrighted materials. I make hardware...duh.
Are you legally required to show your receipt after leaving Walmart? The short answer is no you do not however in places like Costco or Sam’s you do because that’s part of the membership agreement you signed. It’s up to you to determine whether or not you want to deal with the hassle of standing there and talking to cops about something trivial or just show them the receipt
Information is knowledge!!!!! I used to work for Walmart as a greeter and receipt checker. It's their job to ASK for a receipt!!!! ITS YOUR RIGHT TO REFUSE!!!!!! STAY INFORMED PEOPLE!!!!!
Exactly, I’ve known this for years...
I have a friend that works at the doors of my local Walmart often & back at Black Friday 2019 they had a great deal on a 50” 4K UHD tv’s - I bought one (he was off that day) I went through the cashier closest the exit door (although the self checkout were between me and the doors)
I paid & headed to the doors, of course I have this BIG ASS tv box sticking out of the cart 🛒 and the woman asked to see the receipt,, I ignored and kept going.
(Now as I was between the two doors - the place where the store the carts) She than said something else along the lines that I need to stop & shoe it (again) - I replied something like “no I don’t, it’s not a law”
She yelled something to another staff, and they got on the radios... calling for managers or security (loss prevention).
I’m out side just standing but the doors for a few minutes & I heard her tell others to make sure to get my licenses plate (I laughed inwardly - because I had already planned this out & called a taxi)
Next as I was a bit further from the doors now... waiting for the taxi, I noticed two men over by the doors watching me... they both had the hip radios so I knew it was loss prevention - they just stood there talking among themselves & managers for like 5-7 minutes & just walked back inside...
Next one of the managers came up to me & asked it they could just verify the purchase - I basically said to him, “you know better, there is NO LAW that states I need prove my purchase by showing a receipt... if I am suspected of theft the two loss prevention officers that were standing over there (pointing to where they just were), can/should go and follow my movement on internal cameras - where they will verify that I just paid for 1 item at cashier #1 - and you can clearly see I only have 1 item in the cart.”
He than tried to make a point of its unusual for people to just walk out with BIG TICKET items with out showing the that the purchase actually happened...
Where I than replied “that’s on those people for not knowing there rights, or the laws”
Taxi arrived, loaded, left!
@@Alien_Highjinx The Walmart where I used to work required people to pay for electronics in electronics. Then a sticker would go on the box to show that it was paid for. When I worked at the door, I only asked people for the receipt if I didn't see them at the cash. It was a small Walmart so unless they paid at electronics, I could see them at the cash registers.
We had to ask for the receipt for the date for people who had a bag or big box.coming from electronics though. I would see the sticker and look at the date because people were using receipts from with other dates and grabbing tvs and leaving. Some people were also doing returns with empty boxes until the courtesy desk was told to look in the box. People were leaving with hundreds of dollars in the carts before we started asking for receipts. There were a couple of guys with loaded carts waiting for the greeters to leave to walk out the door. That day they went out the security door. Once someone didn't check the dressing rooms and a woman tried to slip out with big laundry basket full of stiff and tried to leave, but the doors were all locked lol.
Someone asked me why we started checking receipts and i told them the actions of a few mess things up for other people. We didn't have security so it was easy for people to steal.
Yea there’s a guy at one of my local Walmarts who has asked me in the pass and I refuse as he keeps lying saying for the items I have I do have to. I just say no as I keep walking
@@Alien_Highjinx Hell Yeah!
Meanwhile people who actually did steal are sneaking out the door lol
brittany, so how do we know that this guy doesn't have stolen property and the other folks leaving do have?
brittany lmao
Kill MySelf? Shoot no. I have a great life. Full of family and friends. Why would I want to do that?
James L. Riggs 3rd grade is calling.
Why?
Do police departments not require physical fitness tests?
Across america from what weve seen nope lol just have to be good at making up your own laws and wasting the time of americans who allow this to happen
There are actually police departments that believe it or not do not require annual physical tests. You have to take them when you first start and sometimes the first few years you're on the job. But once you've been a police officer a certain amount of time you no longer have to take them. I can understand lowering the bar a little bit for an officer who's been on the job for 20 years. Because a man who is in his forties isn't going to be likely to be able to pass the same physical test as a man in his twenties. But they're still has to be something right?
not anymore lol anyone willing to be the governments bitch can now police this e entire country is falling apart treated customers like thieves while the actual thieves get paid to work and steal from there
ltsgrdn all they have to show is that they can breathe and have a heartbeat
ltsgrdn right that dude can’t run!
I applaud this guy for staying calm and asserting his rights.
“The burden of proof is on you guys” Well said sir. This is what most people seem to forget.
once the items are legally bought they then transfer ownership from the store to the buyer meaning: sorry Wally it's my property as soon as i make payment on it
Nothing like being treated like a thief where you just spent your money.
I agree with Jack Crow
Because people don't steal shit from there on a daily basis.
john milner Not My Problem.
Once I've paid, we are done. Surveillance, lost prevention, whatever. But once I pay, it's "Thank you, customer," and goodbye.
This is why I do not show my receipt. Have some dignity, and self respect.
Jack Crow Sure it's your problem, we all pay for it on a daily basis. I've seen it myself many times in the self checkout line. You scan one item, you bag the next one, scan one, bag two. What idiot could not see why a store would spot check? If you don't like the policy, don't shop there.
john milner You're correct in that we all pay for the theft, as it must be factored into cost. I get that. True.
But unless I've paid a membership, signed a policy, like a Sam's Club, that store policy ends when I have paid. At that point, we are done.
Up to that, do all you like.
It is not spot checking. Wal-Mart for example, will try to have a line and have everyone comply.
This is absolutely a waste of time, mine and theirs. They do not check anything anyway, they just like the illusion of security.
I've worked loss prevention. You're looking for the guys stealing a pallet of baby formula, not a person grocery shopping.
And fyi, if I ever saw someone stealing like you described, as an individual I would call them out immediately. Where I live, theft is considered extremely dishonorable, and no, I do not see that. There is usually security there, cameras, etc.
I would perhaps concede that this was justified IF it stopped theft. It doesn't.
I walk past these people to my car, and if challenged, I tell them, "No thank you," and I leave.
It's a total waste of time, and not the way to treat a customer.
It is their policy, not a law. Once I've paid, our relationship is at an end. If they don't like it, call a cop.
I refuse to submit to being treated like a thief.
God bless this man for standing up for what's right and his constitutional rights
I feel sorry for that cops shirt it’s under so much pressure
Lol🤣🤣🤣 epic
Seriously dude, that's why we call them piggies oh, well it's one of the reasons.
lol whats shakin bacon 🥓 😂🥓
Shit be streching
I’m a Police Officer. If Walmart calls me to assist them with a customer who does not wish to allow them to look at their receipt and items in their bags, then they will first have to explain their reasonable suspicion of him/her stealing from them. Without that reasonable suspicion or probable cause, then they’re wasting my time.
It’d be a lot easier for customers to just show the receipt to avoid conflict, but their policy is a slap to every good customer who is simply minding their own.
If you're a cop, you know walmart doesn't call the cops for people who refuse to show their receipt. That would cost AP his job. To call the cops, they need to have proof of selection, concealment, and intent to steal. Policy also only has them make apprehensions for thefts of more than $25, which is why the guy in this video was let go. Had he refused to go, he would've been trespassed.
Bill lupin - Walmart obviously called the police without proof or reasonable suspicion that this man stole something. That’s why he was allowed to leave. That’s the point I’m making. They would have to explain to me why I’m being asked to investigate this matter before I go there. This was a complete waste of law enforcement’s time, and they should’ve questioned the loss prevention employees before questioning this man.
@@thechief5437 Go back, and read my comment again. I don't think you did.
In order for your comment to be true, the AP would have to go against all of his training, opting to lose his job, and open the company, and himself to lawsuit, AND every last one of these cops would have to have decided not to follow basic police procedure.
And you're thinking that they did this because they thought MAYBE all of this, plus the PR fallout, would be worth MAYBE catching someone who MIGHT be stealing two tupperwares and a box of cinnamon toast crunch?
Bill lupin - so exactly what are you saying took place here?
@@thechief5437 The APA followed this guy, saw him steal something by putting them into bags he brought from home, followed him through the store to make sure he didn't put anything back, saw him go around the registers, called the cops, and made the stop. Guy refused to come with him to the security room, and decided to argue. Cops show up.
While all this is going down, the APM is rolling back the footage, and telling an assistant manager what he took. She checks the prices, realizes "oh, hey, he's only stealing two tupperwares and a box of cereal, policy says we don't have to apprehend him," she goes and tells one of the cops that she just wants him out, no charges, and the cop tells him he's free to go.
You can observe the video closely for clues. Case in point- this store uses white bags. The carts going by in the background? All white bags.
Bags in his hand?
...Mostly white bags. He's using the two white bags to carefully cover the grey bag in the back.
Walmart where our customers are guilty til proven innocent!!
Just don't shop there then....
Wal-Mart has aright to protect their property. It is their house, their rules, their way...by shopping at Wal-Mart a customer agrees to these rules.
@@JoseGutierrez-yb5ou *their, *their and *their. And their "rules" and "rights" NEVER supercede your Constitutional Rights as a citizen. The burden of proof is upon them to show you've violated the law (even on "their property") and not your responsibility to prove your innocence.
@@meatormilk3572 what constitutional right was violated? The only thing i see violated is that a company that losses millions to theft and "accidental theft" is inforcing a policy that is within their right to do so since it is on their property. I see it no different than a city that has curfew laws in public parks. This is just some person looking to get you tube famous...if you really believe in constitutional rights their are way bigger fish to fry than picking a fight with your local Wal-Mart. Which could get you banned from that Wal-Mart, and I hope it does for any who do this. That would really get anyones " its my constitutional" right attitude straight. If it really was agaist everyones constitutional right, why has no one sued?
@@JoseGutierrez-yb5ou that's not true in any way are you serious? These stores are in the USA and therefore have to follow US laws on every way! Yes they have the right to protect their stores but they need ACTUAL proof to be able to violate a persons rights. I guess they could pull a citizens arrest but if and when they are found that there was no actual reason for it then they can be sued for everything they own...
Once it is paid for. It then is the property of the patron. WalMart no longer has any rights over the patrons property.
Arlie Waite Yes. In this case the patron was accused of having items that weren't paid for and therefore weren't his... If ppl accuse him of stealing, the police then have probable cause to search the suspect.
Good job sir for standing up to WALMART SECURITY.
Yes sir, we are now a better place! Generations from now will be telling this story of a courageous man vs Walmart security.

You don't have to prove your innocence, they have to prove you're guilty.
I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE STAND UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS
hammerfacejc no it’s not people does need to comply with the store rules and policies and if it states you have to show the receipt can you just kindly show them the receipt This has nothing to do with weights and regulations people just need to show the store the receipt it is that simple stop being a sovereign citizen
Especially when they don't know the law.
The Simple Fact That You Worded It The Way You Did Shows That Not Many People Stand Up For Their Rights Anymore And Are Easily Pushed Around
Solution; stop shopping at walmart. Watch their profits plummet.
you dont have to show receipts on amazon. Good bye Walmart.
Here is another case of if you hit a dog, it will holler. Hahahaha
Anthony Bates now that's a wonderful idea come on people of America let's do this!
Jimmy O well yes you don’t need to show receipts when shopping at amazon because they’ve collected your money already. That’s the point of this video because they think this guy is committing a petit theft by not paying hence they needed to see a receipt.
neveda no shit sherlock. Its why I said amazon is the way to go. What the fuck do you think I meant?
He said it perfectly..The burden of proof is on Walmart to produce evidence of a theft. Walk out tell them no thanks Im good
Shut up
Walmart can deny service to anyone for any reason at any time. If you refuse to present a receipt after purchase, they can have you legally trespassed from the property unless you present the receipt. If you continue to refuse, you can be arrested for trespassing, at which point your belongings _will_ be searched as incident to arrest. For trespassing.
Private companies are under no obligation to uphold the constitution since you are not obligated to give them your business.
@@Aeghamedic At no time do you have to show your receipt. Yes Walmart can deny service, however if the products already have been paid for, then Walmart is no longer offering services. The services have already been given, so denying services is moot. You are correct, Walmart can trespass you, but that's all they can do. And yes, they can have you arrested, if you refuse to leave after being trespassed. But why would someone that wants to leave, refuse to leave after they are trespassed. The only reason why the person is staying at Walmart, is because Walmart is forcing them to stay.
Walmart should watch their employees they are the ones doing all the stealing 🤦♂️😂
fuck yea thats the truth. when i worked there many employees got fired for stealing, but most had done it many times before they ever got caught, and many more didnt get caught than did
A story i heard at my local walmart was that one of the cashiers were double printing receipts. Then she would go out and find the items and refund them for cash. Got caught and arrested after who knows how many attempts. They said she did it multiple times
Kee Lee damn thats a pretty good idea if u quit while ur ahead haha. Problem with ppl is, once they get away with something they just keep doing it and doing it instead of stopping while they are ahead
As a former retail senior exec we based on 1 dishonest employee = external thefts. So 1 internal theft = 10 customer thefts
I love seeing people stand up for their rights, I would like to see the cops stand up for our rights also and not assume Walmart is right from the start.
"Am I being detained? Am I free to go?" Repeat that over and over .
Say it once and no response then leave
The best part of all of this is once the cops realize that they are being recorded, all of a sudden he’s free to go. LOL
Andrea Leigh that's not what happened at all actually. Notice the body cam the cop has on? He's recorded during his entire shift. Don't talk shit about the cops responding to a call, they're doing their jobs. This is Wal-Mart's bullshit.
all some. One but hurt because some one talking shit about cops
Tributary House Ltd. Yes really do you want cops to not respond to calls?
Asron McGinty haha.
Ok. Whatever you say ☺️
Asron McGinty seems ironic that they start whispering at the end, the Walmart woman comes over, and after saying something quietly under their breath to each other, he’s all of a sudden “free to go”.
I appreciate cops. Ones who uphold the law, don’t waste time and harass innocent people, and who take their jobs seriously and act FAIRLY.
Great job standing your ground to those pigs, and the ignorant workers. You remained calm, cool, and collected. You were clear, and concise on verbalizing your knowledge of your constitutional right. My hat's off to you sir.
Ben King, Danny is probably a FIB . . . Fucking Illinois Bastard, usually found infesting the Chicago area.
I love leos they have tough job and it's not their fault Walmart the real bad guy is ignorant as to the law. It's sad that the police which could be doing more productive work had to be there.
A few weeks ago I was in Walmart buying a few items. I went through the checkout line because I don't believe in the self-checkouts. That's what cashiers are hired for. Anyway. I was carrying two bags out and the greeter. An older man, mid-70s I would guess. He asked to see my receipt. I said no but thank you for asking and kept walking. He told me to stop and he grabbed my shoulder. I spun around and shot him a look. I said. Can I help you. He said he needs to see my receipt. I asked him why he needs to see my receipt and was I suspected of stealing anything. The guy says no. It's policy. I said who's policy, yours or Walmart. He said Walmart. I said go get the policy and show me where it says that a greeter can act like a security guard and randomly stop people and ask for the receipt before they walk out the door without any suspicion of theft whatsoever. I also told him. That if Walmart's policy is for him to play the role of a security guard, he should get paid Security guard wages.
I could have walked out right then cuz I won the battle of wits. I told him to go get his manager I want to speak to him. We had a discussion about this is America and Americans have the right not to be stopped randomly buy Walmart greeter needing to see a receipt when of course there was no suspicion. He apologized but he said they're not going to change their policy. I told the manager. Then you need to pay your greeters more money if security guard is also in their job description. Yes I know it would be easier just to show the dude my receipt and 10 seconds I am out of there. That's not the point. The point is, this is not Soviet Russia
Absolutely right.
They do this to everyone at times lol. I mean all they really do is stand there and get paid so they’re making em earn it I gues
The Legend. Lol
Malcolm St Juste. And you're a little girly-man
Have you been in Russia? Or you the one who watch TV and like to talk ?
Their policy carries ZERO weight of law. False arrest
But their cops carry plenty of weight!
He wasn’t arrested
No, but he was illegally detained.
Jim Henline Not necessarily, a 2minute clip which proves nothing cannot be used to determine whether he was illegally detained. There's also laws to protect businesses' right to detain suspected shoplifters for a 'reasonable' amount of time. If I had to give an opinion, I'd say the 2 minutes we saw him detained was a 'reasonable' amount of time.
Lagon78.
In this two minute video the police and wal mart employees both state they are not accusing him of theft. Since they are not accusing him of a crime, and he wants to leave and they are preventing him from doing so until he shows a receipt, and he is not legally required to show a receipt, we can determine, from this two minute video, that in the two minutes we see he was illegally detained.
I say he was illegally detained because they don't suspect him of theft which means shopkeeper's privilege does not apply, he wants to leave, which means it is not a consensual encounter, and they are refusing until he shows the receipt, which he is not legally required to do.
So in my opinion yes, in this 2 minutes video we can in fact see that he was illegally detained.
Look at all the people that walked out and nobody checked anything.
N Elks Very good point!👍
Best time to shoplift from Wal Mart! Gotta keep the cops occupied.
I refuse to show my receipt when I walk out not like they can stop you
We only saw a 2 minute video, what happened before the footage we are allowed to see? Why isn't that on this video? Something prompted these guys to stop the guy.
cplcabs not bloody likely
He is exactly correct. There must be evidence of wrong doing to search or investigate. It cannot be random or suspected. There must be video evidence. It's called burden of proof and the burden to prove lies with Wal-Mart and has to be shown first to search or investigate. ITS THE LAW!
Trish Parr except in places where it is in the member agreement contract (like Sam’s and Costco). Read the member agreement, there you are willing giving up your rights.
If I was asked to show my receipt at Walmart I would say: “After I show you my receipt, I am going to sue you for falsely accusing me of theft. Do you still want to see my receipt?”
So I can walk out of Walmart carrying a TV, and not have to show the a receipt? ? ? Then just state it's mine...lol, lame
@@cliffnetheran1993 --- well you can and that's clearly stealing. But what Wal-Mart needs to do is show proof that you stole the TV at which point you would have to show proof you didn't.
What happened here is the fact that the person was approached and asked to show proof/receipt, without Wal-Mart first providing any proof that he did anything wrong.
We are innocent until proven guilty. Remember that.
There is evidence...every register has a camera.
You don't have to show a receipt.
You just walk out.
Anything happens suit them.
Watching this while I'm currently inside a Walmart
wtf arent you dropping lost tapes 2?? get back in the studio fuck shopping! rappers cant shop comfy at walmart tf you thinking..I mean u have heard of dababy right?! lol
Loser
if it goes beep beep on the way way out ...you can look in my bags if not then you can't
But breads and bottles don't make beep beep sounds when you pass the door. Just clothes with that tag thingy
No shit forgot all about that
I dont stop for the beeps either. It's not uncommon for stuff to accidentally get walked out the door
KamekoBruns it’s not nearly that simple. What happened here was just ruled to be unconstitutional, Walmart can’t force you to produce a receipt.
Actually all 50 states allow for shop keepers to request proof of purchase. You do not actually have any “rights” when purchasing from a private retail establishment. You do have the right to NOT shop there, and while I do encourage everyone to exercise that right when it comes to Wallyworld, they do have the right to request to see proof of purchase. Most retailers don’t ask unless they have legitimate belief that a crime was committed because it is poor customer service, however, they do have the right to if they choose to.
Yet another reason NOT to give Walmart your money. :-D
I shop other stores Wal-Mart is getting bad at people's rights they are going to put their self out of business
Agree!
So glad I don't live in the US.
@@negansmith925 I had a employee come towards me I knew what they wanted I glared at them and kept on walking
@@negansmith925 where do you live
You damn right! Good job shoppers! These corporations are crazy.
Notice how the walmart employees, didn't search anyone else's stuff, the lady with the basket full, and others didn't show receipt.
Its against the law to accuse someone of stealing before they walk out the door.
Interesting 🤔🤔🤔
Not true. As soon as an item is concealed you can be arrested.
No, they have to witness the selection, witness the concealment, and witness you exit the premises. Then it's theft. They can not lose track of you or lose view of you. It has to be viewed in a continual manner. Although if they have a video room with an actual person watching said activities, and they track you at every moment on camera, the loss prevention officer can detain you and ask for merchandise back
Knygt you might be confusing the law with a corporate policy. Stores provide ample ways to shop without concealing an item. Once it is hidden it is considered theft. Most places don’t want you to approach outside the store so you are wrong there as well.
@@daren32909 Rather the reverse. You're confusing law with policy. The LAW says it's not shoplifting until you show intent to steal. If you put an item in your pocket, that might just be a convenient means of carrying said item to the register. Whyte is 100% correct. You have to observe the person take merchandise beyond the point of sale without paying to make an arrest. Selection, concealment, and intent.
Meanwhile people who actually did steal are sneaking out the door
I don't shop at Walmart anymore because of the way they treat ther customers
Or their employees
EXACTLY THIS! It's not about the receipt, it's about how they treat shoppers like complete shit.
Good, they dont give a fuck dumbass
Not because there in American and buy all there crap from China.
peter pan your just a pussy
Wow I didn't know Paul Blart works at Walmart looks like he hit a new low
new high on the scale though
😂
Wrong this guy ate Paul Blart
I love it when people know their rights and stand their ground calmly and prevail!
i dont show mine somtimes ill crumble it and throw it on the ground... boycott Walmart!!!!!
@SgtPiggie the statement is more important
SgtPiggie you can get a reprint
The store must accuse you of a crime (shoplifting) and then the cops can legally search you. If you did nothing wrong you have a slam dunk lawsuit. I won $23k lawsuit against Kmart over 20 years ago for this when I bought a battery and paid for it at the auto section cash register and they chased me outside. They stopped me and asked for a receipt. I informed them that I did indeed and started walking away when one of the guards grabbed my arm to stop me. I told them to immediately call the police (no cell phones then).
In the mean time they went and asked the automotive dept and found out that I had indeed paid and told me I could go. I told them that wasn't going to happen because they had detained me and not only detained me but did it physically by grabbing me. I filed assault charges (they were dropped) and I hired a lawyer and got a nice check for my troubles.
After that I worked security for tj Maxx and they knew the rules. They told us we could not stop anyone for shoplifting unless we saw them conceal something and we did not take out eyes off of them just in case they dumped it in the store before they left.
scott silver that policy was kmarts policy too. The suspect also had to be past the last point of sale before they could be stopped. I used to do loss prevention for Kmart. The ones that stopped you were just too gung ho and didn't care about the policy.
michael brown that and it was probably 1985 when it happened. Even then that is how it was supposed to be done. Cops can't search you without accusing you of a crime so certainly an employer at a retail store cannot.
They're pulling that crap here in Puerto Rico with these Walmart mall cops.
It's has already been stated that they DO NOT have the right to ask you to produce a receipt.
You only have to produce a receipt at membership club stores as stated in membership rules.
Many have been conditioned to shows receipts and Walmart keeps on pushing the legal limits. Shame on them!
scott silver well aren't you special you win a frivolous lawsuit
+Ryan A I don't consider that frivolous, they stopped him, wasted his time, put hands on him, and created a generally embarrassing situation. People gossip, if they see you getting stopped outside a store then you have a story about you being a thief running around town. A 23k settlement is diddly for a large retailer and it's a nice wake up call for them about their polices and training. If nothing ever happens, they will keep bad practices. It's not like he sued them for 10 million dollars.
I refuse to believe that oh big boy there cleared that 6 foot wall 😂😂😂
Hahaha
He ran through it. You heard of immovable object vs unstoppable force..
Well yea..
It's amazing what they get with until they come across a citizen that knows their rights, rights that the government is taking away from us one at a time
redeyetrucker67 get over yourself...geez your not going to Russia you buy an Item you show your receipt you leave....see the little piece of paper with numbers on it ...thats your receipt your proof of purchase
redeyetrucker67 I'm not saying there are no bad eggs but our government and services men and women within that government like law enforcement and military work thanklessly to not only protect us but afford us more rights and freedoms than pretty much the rest of the planet collectively. I don't know where or when we lost the concept of community but if everybody works together it takes little effort on the individuals part to move mountains. These officers don't know you or your intentions, cooperate so they can ensure the safety of all parties and their assests so they can respond to more important matters.
C Burkins, 'private property has a right to request" Yes, they can request but they cannot demand. One does not give up their constitutional rights when they enter a store open to the public. You DO realize that in order to be detained and forced to prove you purchased an item, there must first be a claim that you stole that item?
Barring that, everyone who shops at that store is automatically suspected of theft. The only time I get pissed is when the 'greeter' actually sees you pay for the item and walk towards the door. Kind of stupid considering they seldom even look at your items, its just a form of forcing the citizen to submit to authority. And if you give a private store authority over you, then you may as well give up any thought of being a free person.
CALIFGUY 53 dont go to the private store then. That was what logical people call sensationalism which is used by/for those who don't have much else so they exaggerate. What people (and apparently you) fail to realize are the legal rights provided to private enterprise as well. The law doesn't stop at "the constitution " even though that's the simpleton reference of choice.
Pineapple Jack, actually if you watched the video again, you will find out you are entirely incorrect. At the very beginning, the officer says 'when did I accuse you of anything?". That clearly tells me that there was NOT a claim of shoplifting made.
i have worked security for strip malls and believe me, police DO random patrols of those centers. Their job is NOT to investigate a non crime, in fact someone in loss prevention must witness what appears to be shoplifting, not just a hunch.
Whether the guy was a loud mouth or not, he was standing up for his rights. The courts have ruled consistantly that once you pay for an item it belongs to you. NO ONE is ever forced to prove their innocence especially if no crime has been reported to begin with and from the very beginning, it appears no one said shit about shoplifting or had made any such claim.
I even went thru a "legal" california check point today. And made the same argument. Cannot ask, illegal search/siezure, and violation of 4th. The cali agriculture slime even tried to open my back door and threatened with calling the state patrol. I said go ahead but while u call them i will call the US marshals office, and demand a warrant. They let me thru.... know your rights and dont surrender those rights. These.folks work for YOU not the DA.
It's 2018 we know our rights ! Stop going to Walmart!
Shop in numbers, five of us at a time - never a problem. Shop alone or in pairs? You will be fucked .
💯🔥 We all have to stand up for our rights.
here is how you handle this: give them your receipt and ask her to follow you to the return counter and return the crap. Then stop shopping their. if everyone did this than this will stop.
Joe Vorachack
Hey "smart" guy, or should I say "sheep",
Walmart doesn't have to give U $ back, they issue u a "gift card" in the amount of the return if the return total is greater than $10. Do ur homework and grow some balls.
Joe Vorachack fucking genius boycott my friend
Joe Vorachack exactly
It's like do something real to change it or just shut up
thats so truE! everyone should do that!
God. The 👮 are standing there looking dumbfounded 😂 Walmart needs to be boycotted. They are killing folks over these receipts & suspected shoplifting. Crazy shit man.
Luna Chick did I miss something when did the killing happened
Luna Chick you tell em girl! Why just last week Wal-Mart killed and raped thousands right here in my hometown.
fred Pendergrass lol funny that that it didn't make the news any where probably because you're dishonest
Direct from the 🥜 gallery
Luna Chick What are you smoking? Please show your proof that people are being killed over a retail sales receipt.
so they want him to prove he's not stealing yet the alarm is going off and they are more concerned about this guy. that's why I avoid shopping there.
the mere fact of STOPPING him IS the accusation of theft....
I don't get it with WAL-MART. Put sensors at the door. If the sensor beeps, that's cause to search the subject, and/or look at their receipt. WAL-MART'S scared of the sensor making a false alarm, they search an innocent person, then gets sued. Instead, they figure we'll search people randomly (catching a few every so often) and make it seem like normal protocol. Well, people are tired of being treated like criminals just for shopping. Put the sensors back up.
They have sensors, and it's not cause to search the person. That's cause to ask for the receipt. Odds are fairly good that it was just a security device that didn't deactivate properly.
They don't search people randomly. They ask for receipts for customers with unbagged merchandise.
Also, it's not to catch thieves. It's meant to catch cashiers forgetting to ring up large items at the bottom of the cart.
Now, when there's half a dozen cops demanding your receipt, it's because they already know you don't have it.
Those camera's work and ppl most of the time are watching ppl steal booze,food,cloths,cds, but this "most show a receipt or you are suspect" is bullshit.
@@dadscavaliers642 if your a big enough douche to cause a scene over proof of purchase then your a big enough douche to steal....

It's no coincidence....
@@joshwalters3148 good point, i considered that. I have seen it both ways ppl throwing a fit trying to avoid getting caught & tho a cop was there the store did not have evidence ready to go when confronting the person, so its put up or shut up, im not playing any gms.
We do have sensors. Not always reliable as you said but let me know when security ia placed on FOOD. NON EXPENSIVVE HOUSEWARES. SEASONALS. PET SUPPLIES. tell me when will sensors be on those? Because those dont have security right now. Yet you think somebody should be allowed to steal a bag of dog food or pack of toilet paper because it doesnt have security to set off the alarm?
I had a 40pk water with me walking out of walmart along with some other stuff , when i walked out , i was asked to show receipt because the water wasn't bagged 😑 how a big ass pack of water going to fit inside some cheap ass plastic walmart bag ?
They dont even really look close at the receipts...its been plenty times Ive walked out with free water lol
DatBoyDre since it's wrapped in plastic , rip the barcode off with your finger & you have free water
Lebrun Jemz don’t be that douchebag, that affects the bonuses that many of the employees rely on. It’s as bad as not tipping a waiter. I won’t even have enough for Christmas this year because we lost a million in a store that receives little business.
They don't think you're stealing it. Water is often loaded onto the bottom of the cart, which makes it very easy for customers to forget they have it at the register, and it's very easy for cashiers to miss it for the same reason.
Officially, the policy is anything not in a bag, but heavy objects loaded under the cart is one of the things they look for.
@@DreCarFinder Congratulations, you're one of the reasons walmart insists on checking receipts.
I hate Walmart.
Ditto. Refuse to be videoed while shopping then having to tell everyone what I bought as Im leaving.... hell no.
@Your Favorite Driver By UA-cam Person You're not one of those people, that will run over people that is in path, than to take a detour around them, are you? There should be a speed limit, or a red light inside Wal-Mart. lol
@Your Favorite Driver By UA-cam PersonI have no problem showing my receipt.
Violation of 4th amendment rights ! I smell a Lawsuiit ! Sue !
I HATE CLUB WALM!! This is exactly why I don't shop there anymore!! I used self checkout a few years ago there, the lady asked to see my receipt, but didn't ask anyone else for their receipt. IT'S INFURIATING to feel like you're being treated like a criminal at this low-class establishment!!! Good for this gentleman for standing up for his right!!!
Walmart is in bed with the deep state
Yep it was middle of the night, the only choice I had was self checkout which I hate. The employee was supporting a post falling asleep , but managed to watch me the whole time then proceeds to ask me to see my receipt, I kept walking and told him to go back to sleep.
@@REYANNWALTON I call them MartLaw. They are in bed with the globalists.
And they probably stood their and watched you pay too
They start self-checkout just to have an employee at each lane checking receipts, we officially are in the movie Idiocracy.
These repeated incidents at Walmart are simply due to the caliber of people they attract and the caliber of people they employ. You don't see these conflicts at Target or most other big retailers. Shopping at Walmart is like going to the zoo.
Yes, it happens everywhere else too. It just doesn't go viral the same way that "something else stupid happened at Walmart!!!" does.
style5tie Yes that is true.
Yes you do. Happens at all types of stores. Target is the same fucking thing as walmart I see all the same fucking dregs in there that I do at walmart. I had security follow me around the whole store while I pent $200 on their junk products that are no different than walmarts. Even told the guy I knew he was security and other people were actually stealing but the guy in a hoodie is the one to watch.
Lol I work at Publix we don't ask for receipts cause we done need too. We have plenty of people paying attention up front
Don't forget you the mall you don't show receipt when you leave.
They tried this in Australia and it soon got shot down after the first law suit.
your full of shit, i live in australia and they ask for receipts all the time,
Steve g ... If you give it. Then you are a dummy.
Provide a link Nick. I'm intrigued that someone in Australia sued a store about being asked to show a receipt.
Marbles.... I cannot find a link in the first five tries... And I'm not going to look any further. It was a story in a news paper when a store had a person arrested for shop lifting after refusing to show a receipt. There is no burden of proof of purchase for something that you own. the burden is on the shop to prove theft.
I had a cashier checking ONE DOLLAR BILLS yesterday at Walmart to see of they were fake! I was absolutely mortified! NEVER shopping at Walmart again!
Shouldnt WM have to produce evidence like video or actual eyewitness of a theft? This seems like a lazy way to counter theft.
They had it, I'm sure. Thing is, they only apprehend for $25 and less, and eyeballing his bags there, I don't think he had $25 in 'em. Two tupperwares and a cereal box.
That's probably what the manager was telling the cop, when she walked up in the back there.
And no, they don't produce evidence right there on the sales floor. They'll ask the person to accompany them to the security room, and produce the evidence there. The fact that cops were waiting for him tells me he was doing all sorts of shady shit, prompting them to call the cops in advance of him walking past the POS.
(And no, if the cops are already there, and they have evidence of you stealing, they'll just provide the evidence to the cops in said security room afterwards.)
If you've ever worked in retail, you know the shady shit I mean. Pocketing things, putting them on the shelf a few aisles away, scanning the room for people, looking up at cameras, and making 20+ laps of the building to spot pursuers, lingering in spots with high value merch, and areas without cameras.
They have the dam buzzers at the door also to show if someone stole but instead they pay lazy ass people to stand at the doors harrassing people claiming they're stealing.. Oh yea dickweed everything is in bags but the soda but yea I definitely stole the soda I just walk passed them or show them and say ain't it sad they pay u guys to harrass every single person who spends their hard earned money at Walmart who pays you so u can make it in life 🤣
I got asked to show my receipt for a coke and a bag of chips. I didn't feel the need to make a big deal and make a video, but, yeah, I didn't exactly feel like my patronage was welcomed or appreciated. My thoughts were, you suspect me of stealing from you instead of thanking me for shopping at your store? Not a good way to retain my business.
Once you have paid for the goods, they are yours now and you don't have to prove shit. Just walk out with YOUR property. If Wal-Mart thinks that property does not belong to you, they have the burden of producing evidence to that effect.
I get asked to show my receipt 1-2 times/year at Walmart. I just say 'no thanks' and walk on by.
Tell you what. For all of you that will continue to shop at walmart, try this, if they are so hell bent on checking your receipt tell them you want to go to customer service and get a refund for all the stuff you paid for and then take your business elsewhere. Bet that will stop all of that bullshit and the only people they will have in their store are shoplifters. It will cause them to go out of business as well. They don't pay their people worth a damn and they think you owe them something just because they have low prices. My belief on buying something is to pay more so I pay no more.
Sugarfat Blackman especially if the alarm never went off. I had a old lady harrass me cause I had a box fan and a big thing of toilet paper in my cart. I just keep walking and told her I pay for all my shit.
Sugarfat Blackman how hard is it to show a freaking receipt?dude has to much time on his hands, these cell phone with cameras are running this country
You're right.. and wrong. They do have the right to stop you, search you without a warrant, and question you. The 4th amendment does not apply to private security persons, such as these Walmart employees. However, they can not physically detain you. They can block your way and ask you to stay, but by law you don't have to.
They tried to intimidate him.... He stood 10 toes down!! Salute bro 💪
We look like a bunch of jackass's now, so you're free to go...
Yes, they should have just shown the receipt and been done with it...or not shop there. Wasted everyone's time by not understanding private property and what it means.
JW dyer no the only person that looks like a jacksss is the guy who try to make this awslmart into aconstitutional court
The entire purpose of the Constitution is to: 1. Refuse them and not answer questions. 2. To shuuuuut them doooooowwwwn! 3. Stay free and not be violated....This guy is a true Patriot who stands for freedom in his daily life.
This is like 2 years old and it still feels fresh
Why spend your hard earned money at a place who's policy is to ask you to show a receipt for things you just purchased? The intelligent person would shop elsewhere.
Is this satire?
LOL, you are really over-eastimating the intelligence of this man. he shops at Walmart because he does not know any better. he prefers to complain and record footage versus taking his business elsewhere. TYPICAL
Javy C you are idiot
BigFatRat Cheese true but those Walmart deals...
🤭Walmart making a mockery of civil liberties!😆 Merica
innocent until proven guilty
Yes, but precision is only nine tenths of the law. What makes something yours is that proof you paid for it. Most people don't argue about things or the ownership of something outside of a retail business. But then it's up to the court to proof that, watch Judge Judy more. But in the store management does have the right to ask, in this case they took time either to check video or talk to the sale clerk to see if they paid. But those of us who live in the real world, just hand over your receipt. It doesn't make you look like a jerk one UA-cam.
Looks like someone standing up for his rights to me. If you stand for nothing, you fall for anything.
Nah it's guilty until we twist the story so you look guilty -cops
Are they cops? Or just Wal-Mart employees impersonating cops?
The very fat one is just a security guard.
@@rockstarofredondo what does he secure?
The donut shop?😂
@@rockstarofredondo They're cops. If you notice, the fat one is wearing the same uniform as the others.
Walmart doesn't hire security guards, and AP isn't allowed to wear cop/security outfits. The ap manager wears a suit, the apa's wear casual clothes (they're the plainclothes guys who follow you to witness shoplifting,) and the customer hosts wear yellow vests, they're the ones you see asking for a receipt.
There is one time, and one time only, that walmart brings in off-duty cops to act as security, and that's black friday. They aren't there to apprehend shoplifters, but to prevent violence.
for any employees of any establishment or commercial enterprise to ask for a receipt of your recent purchases when your leaving a store is against federal law these stores don't want you to know that...Don't show it!!
Cite the law please ?
hillbilly tech 💯% correct.
It is not illegal for any establishment to ask for a receipt as long as the items are not in bags. They cannot ask for a receipt if the items are bagged.
General Grant google it
Ana Spellman technically tru, you can ask anything, but you dont have to comply. If you purchased it its yours, the burden of proof lies on the accuser.
I avoid Wallshart for this, and several other reasons.
Once I use up my gift card. I shop at amazon for electronics stuff. I will go to dollar general and my other food store.
I usually sprint out of Walmart before they can ask me for a receipt. lol

I bought a tv at your place. Im gonna load it into my car and leave. I dont need to show you proof that you sold it to me. Furthermore i own almost everything at your place
Costco has someone checking each and every receipt before a customer can leave their store. They've been doing it for years. I have no problem with it. If walmart is asking to see a receipt, you can bet he shoplifted.
Wrong any retailer can legally stop any customer if they suspect shop lifting and ask to see your receipt.
@@yfs24816 they can ask but legally cant detain withoit proof and if they do detain then you can sue for violation of unlawful detainment and illegal search and seirure as welll as pain and suffering. Keep kneeling down to cooperate america and loose all your rights.

Rekreated1 no it does not
Rekreated1 private property. If owner states or post restrictions that doesn't violate law, upon entering premise it's presumed u aged to terms of that agreement. That's just my 2 pennies.
But it does violate the law. Once you have purchased the merchandise, it is now your property. It is not theirs. They do not post their policies. They think because it is in their break room, in a binder, it applies to all on their premises. It does not and NOTHING can be written that violates the law, which this does.
That's correct which becomes an issue of LEO....Is there probable cause? Witness, security tags visible, small receipt large bags, video.
The government needs probable cause, a private business does NOT need probable cause.
Every cop looks like they have a second job as santa at a mall
THE MOMENT THEY IMPEDE OR STOP YOUR TRAVEL AND TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE. CALL THE DAM COPS AND TELL THEM YOUR BEING ILLEGALLY DETAINED BY WALMART EMPLOYEES AND YOU NEED AN OFFICER IMMEDIATELY. THEY WILL SHOW UP AND THEN TELL THE OFFICER ONCE HE UNDERSTANDS YOUR BEING ILLEGALLY DETAINED FOR NOT SHOWING A RECEIPT. THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRESS CHARGES.
Because someone who's going to steal is going to walk out with the stolen goods in plain sight...
Yes, they do it all the time. Most shoplifters do push outs.
I worked retail security for years. Yea they absolutely do. In fact that is the case most of the time.
They do! Saw a women/kids in a supermarket, a cart filled to the top, head right to a empty check out line and bagged it all up, and headed out the door befor stopped.
Actually they do. I had a woman run out the door with a tv before. Tell me where you can hide a tv?
ron l they do it all the time! They literally grab TV’s and run out the door. 😂
I called WalMart and told them they should have signs at register that says before purchase by purchasing you agree to show proof of purchase receipt at the door.
This happened to me once at Wal-Mart. Since they got bought out they been doing this distasteful thing here of treating it's costumes as criminals
Good customer, good cop, bad Walmart

Walmart needs stopped boycott Walmart.
I once had a humiliating experience at a store. A lady (shopper) accused me of stealing her wallet. While we were shopping she kept looking at me so I would look at her too wondering why she kept staring. She took that as me being a thief I guess. She called the cops and they came and searched through my cart to make sure I didn’t have it hiding underneath my stuff. It was so embarrassing. I should’ve refused but I was shocked and just wanted to leave.
Ive been asked twice to stop at Walmart. I just kept walking
steve b I think you replied to the wrong thread, this is about walmart's criminal thugs not about affording cars.
Is that The Big Bossman? LOL 😂.
Wal mart is only loseing customer's in this manner....
Just run , ain't none of those cops going to catch you 😂
No he just walked up to the registers with all cashiers standing there and put the items in bags!
Come on now people
This has never made any sense to me. You set up self-service checkouts, and then have "checkers" checking receipts at the door.
Here's an idea: instead of "checkers", hire some cashiers to check people out. That way customers don't have to provide a service Walmart should be providing, AND Walmart gets to check the receipts when the cashiers hand them to the customers. As an added bonus, customers don't get pissed off having to prove they paid for items that they already own.
What a concept.
@KamekoBruns And at all stores, it is a crime to detain a person just for refusing to show a receipt.
you have no legal authoritt in the us to search for a receipt because its public property.
They ask for a receipt after I go through a cashier checkout. I say no and keep walking. They try to make me stay I will go to customer service, ask for the duty manager, explain my rights and make the manager return All my items and give me a refund. If more people do this they will drop a policy that violates the fourth amendment. It is a private store. They can have a policy. But when they trample my rights then I have the right to return my items. Do this everyone every week. Make sure it is big like groceries. And then calmly walk out. Every week. The policy will change when they don't make money. Don't just stop going. Inconvenience them for making you feel like a criminal. They have to prove you stole. The burden of proof is on them. Call the cops if they try to detain you and say you are being held under duress at WalMart. Make it a big deal and it will change or they will go out of business.
Walmart are cheap fawks. It's never gonna happen. They think that 1 checker is good enough >_>
the receipt is your property once you have payed they have no right to see it
False.. they can ask to see it as you're still on THEIR property
My possessions are my private property and without some proof pf stealing Wal Mart has no right to my possessions.
Rich Matthews just because someone is on your property, it doesn't mean that you all of a sudden become their property!
For you dumb shits that dont understand contract law. There is an offer, an acceptance, and consideration. Once the product is offered (for sale by Walmart), acceptance (picked up by you to purchase) and consideration(The payment for the goods offered), ownership of the goods transferred from Walmart to the consumer. Standing inside of Walmarts property means NOTHING. Walmart has no authority to demand anything. For the warehouse clubs, it is written in the agreement you signedthat you will show your receipt as a condition of the membership, but at Walmart, there is no membership. NEVER show your receipt. You do not have to prove innocence, or that the property is yours.
the burden of proof is on YOU...classic and well done
Unless they tell him he is “suspected” of a crime, they CANNOT “detain” or “demand to see a receipt”.
frank sullivan sr suspected is a vague term, since stopping people to check their receipt is part of Walmart’s policy, you walking away when asked to give your receipt technically gives them probable cause that you have stolen. I agree it’s fucked up but it’s how the law works
I work in retail and you have to have someone stealing on camera before you can accuse them of it.
That’s not quite accurate. You have to see them stealing. The video is just extra evidence of what you saw.
@@PPMOCRG finally somebody is on point! Wal-Mart employees and security have the right to verify receipts, especially if the items are high value items that are not in a bag. The customer can refuse, but Wal-Mart can record their plates, review the cameras, and call the police if necessary. Also, Wal-Mart can verify receipts under the suspicion that someone maybe stealing. Again, the customer has the right to refuse, but that means that they want their plates recorded by Wal-Mart.
Not true. Walmart doesn't care. They do it with or without telling the truth.
cop needs to worry about himself (health) than other people.
I stopped shopping at Walmart when they now require everyone to stop and show a receipt after just paying. It’s so bad the woman at the door can watch me check out and still ask to see receipt. Walmart where we treat all our customers like criminals!
So this is a common thing and I just like to share a little bit of information for my own experiences..
One I'm from North Jersey I'm white I'm overly tattooed big beard long hair so I'm very commonly stereotyped by the way I look I shop at Walmart with my wife on a very regular basis and almost 80% of the time while exiting they try to check my receipt..
Here's the deal if you're holding your receipt in your hand they could see you have it just keep walking they don't have the right to check your receipt and they don't have the right to put their hands on you..
Not even there supposed security has the right to put their hands on you..
This is via the police..
If there is no posted sign saying they have the right to search your contents at exit then they dont have the right..
SHANE IPPOLITO damn right you are my friend
alan x no because I have a beard long hair plenty of tattoos the way I describe myself visually Society thinks of me of a certain way when I am the first one to get out and help someone when they need help so the judgment is there otherwise I wouldn't be looking for attention on it pal so don't fucking come across like that...
Is a funny thing I commented on something... I didn't need your comment on my comment this isn't a debate this is my opinion fuck off...
And and considering it has nothing to do with look on why they're stopping people at Walmart it's still against the law and this is what the video subject matter is of I'm just highlighting the fact that they stopped me a little bit more frequently considering my look..
And that's a fact,.
SHANE IPPOLITO they don’t have the right even with a sign bro.
There is no LEGAL or contractual requirement to show a receipt at Walmart. I. The case of SAMs Club you do because you agree to and have a binding contract when you got your membership card. The customer can defend his property.
steve b You're a smart one. Surprised you have internet in them sticks. I won't even entertain your stupid comment for you made yourself look like the DUMBASS.
Alien Being Dumbass! You agree to Walmart's policies once you decide to enter the store and shop there. You give implied consent. Look it up. Show your receipt or shop elsewhere. Pretty simple.
Alien: Once again, you are an idiot making assumptions. I am a lot older than you are. Were you in school when JFK was shot? Didn't think so...I was. So, abide by Walmart's rules, or don't shop there. What part of this do you not understand? Personally, I don't shop there because in my town, they have a policy against carrying concealed weapons, which I carry all of the time. All they are doing is creating a "gun free" zone which is really another word for making the place a target. But, that is their right to do and my right is to not shop there. See? I don't go in and film myself arguing with security about carrying a weapon, and preach about the 2nd amendment...I just do not go. That is all I am saying. Please do not assume as you know what happens. PS I use my company name here and do NOT steal music or any copyrighted materials. I make hardware...duh.
Pirate Labs I dont shop there, whatever gave you the assumption that I did? Keep being the good little sheep and shine them boots boy.
Pirate Labs
You're right. The same principle goes with students and school. All students forfeit their rights when they're on school grounds.
Imagine if he actually stole something and got away with it by saying this lol
I don't have to imagine.
The fattest cop is always the most experienced...this guy is a fkn' genius!
Hank Hill at walmart protecting his rights!
I tell you hwat......
This is 2019, the paper receipt is hardly the only record of the sale. Why have such horrible customer service?
He choose not to show his receipt and standing up for his rights
They try and ask me every time I shop. I just say, "No, thank you", and keep walking.
Kei Synester dumbass
@@smexy5111 yes that too
Perfect answer and then no hassle and not making a scene.
Are you legally required to show your receipt after leaving Walmart? The short answer is no you do not however in places like Costco or Sam’s you do because that’s part of the membership agreement you signed. It’s up to you to determine whether or not you want to deal with the hassle of standing there and talking to cops about something trivial or just show them the receipt
Or what if I just keep walking as I let them know I’m exercising my 4th and if they want to push it they can chase me as I drive away
