Target does not check receipts, at least not in any Target store I have ever been to.

Meh, maybe not. That just means they have more people watching your every move on camera.

But Costco does. every Costco I've ever been in has checkers by the front door.

Correct, they are legally allowed to because it is written in the membership agreement you sign to shop there. Same with Sam's club and any other membership shopping center.

Actually, any place has the right to ask you to show a receipt. The customer always has the right to refuse, and they can do literally NOTHING about it.

I worked at Costco in high school, and did some time checking receipts at the door. Even if someone has obviously stolen something, you can't block their way or touch them.

This thread made me LOL, some people need to get off their high horse.

My time is more important than standing up for not showing my receipt and the checkers help to prevent theft which in turn keeps prices down.

TongMan

I believed his assignment was the "receipt checker"? Am I mistaken?

theDreamer

No it is not, as an employee at Wal-Mart/Target, a door greeter is not allowed to ask for a receipt, nor is any employee.

Yep, you can only ask for a receipt at membership stores (Costco/Sam's Club/etc.)
Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. is not allowed to ask for receipts.

i don't understand why this was such a big deal to the guy. it does sound like he's just trying to be an ***hole. i KNOW if i buy something like that at a big box store they are going to ask for the receipt so i walk up prepared with the receipt visible. how hard is that? is it a crime that the store is double checking to make sure you aren't robbing the place? i do agree that having someone checking receipts when there are tremendously long lines and plenty of open lanes (happens all the time at the wal mart here) is a little ridiculous but that's the store's manager's decision is it not? i bet this ***douche was there for at least 10 more minutes than he needed to be (that thought fills me with dread considering it was wal mart) because he didn't have his receipt out... i'm sorry, i don't give a ****

^^^they can cancel your membership with them if you fail to comply with their membership policies. But I was told before in this thread that store policies mean crap vs the individual's rights.

Red__Zed

They won't usually cancel your membership, an they usually won't know who you are if you don't show a receipt...
