Calm man successfully buys tv and denies walmart receipt checkers (Long Read)

theDreamer

And if anyone wants more specific answers I can ask a co-worker as he worked security for Best Buy and a few other companies which try to bypass state laws, but even then they have no legal ground.

good for him.. I hate those receipt checker clowns.. Maybe instead of having some moron stand by the door and draw a pink line on your receipt, they can put them on a fking register and get people through the lines faster.

And Tongman, there are so many things wrong with your posts I don't even know where to start.

If I was held up by this I would have called in a public disturbance.

Tongman... what is wrong with you?

This guy has every right not to show these minimum wage power-tripping clowns his receipt. IT'S THE LAW. I mean, what part of that whole story didn't you understand?

And the receipt checker who actually prevented him from leaving the store is out of his mind... Even if he did steal the TV he wouldn't be able to detain him. It's people like that who try and play hero for the day that end up getting killed by maniacs. I mean really... is a 200 dollar tv worth your life?

It's just sad that most everyone today is so willing to give up their rights just for the sake of convenience. Just like that loser woman who kept telling this guy to show them his receipt. Yeah it would take 2 seconds but THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

The receipt checker's job and pay already sucks, why make his/her day even worst by being as ***? Is it because he is not better than anyone else because he makes minimum wage and is working at Walmart/Target?

I agree that the *** was acting within his rights to refuse to show his receipt, but people who has nothing else better to do than go around and piss off other people, when others are simply performing their job, should be ashamed of themselves. I hate asses who use these rights as weapons and takes advantage of the rights and freedom that protects citizens and residents in this country.

An example, the Ku Klux Klan. They are doing everything legally, but they are one of the most f-ed up groups of citizens of this great country. Another example, read on the Westboro Baptist Church. "God hates fags".

Removed to your two examples because those are just stupid to try to compare to this situation.
The bold part is where we should look, it is not his job to check receipts though, the person at the door for Wal-Mart/Target is not allowed to ask you for your receipt.

Why, because he knows his rights and has the balls to stand up for them?

Because there's a time and place for everything. I've witnessed things like this before, and it's usually the person wanting to be an *** more than stand up for his/her rights.

I'm all for standing up for our rights, but not at the expense of others time like in this example.

Who's time was he infringing upon? The receipt checker? Not like he had anything better to do. The chick who was berating him instead of going about her business? That's her problem. The manager? You could argue the manager wouldn't have had to deal with this situation if she had explained to her employees that they can't force someone to show them a receipt.

If standing up for yourself was convenient, it wouldn't take balls would it? In this case the matter is pretty stupid, and I think it's the Virginia law that's out of whack. If you don't like the store's policy of checking receipts, don't shop there. But, since the law says he has the right not to show his receipt, he has that right.

I'm not speaking of this one situation specifically. I can understand why some people think this is a good example of standing up for your rights. I, do not, though.

You say the woman behind him should have gone about her business, but it sounds like she was behind him in line to get out of the store. Now, the store should have just had someone else check her receipt or whatever, but that's a different matter. Yes, she was being a impatient and rude about it, but this wasn't a black and white situation.

You can say he was standing up for his rights. You can say he was being an asshat. You can say he was being inconsiderate to others. All would be true.

Costco, Target, they ALL check receipts.

This is ******** propaganda written by the union (SEIU?) that harasses Wal Mart for being non-union. Designed to look like a rights issue when in fact it never happened. Who the f8ck would sit down and write out this crap in detail if it was no big deal?
