[@juliecastillo914]

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?

[@Alien_Highjinx]

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!

[@kessiawright1710]

@@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.

[@thxman1968]

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.

[@jackcrow3477]

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.

[@billlupin8345]

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.

[@thechief5437]

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.

While all this is going down, the APM is rolling back the footage, and telling an assistant manager what he took.

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.

[@alexh8613]

@@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.

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.

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.

[@BestLittleStudio]

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.

[@thunderwolf475]

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!

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.

[@califguy5344]

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.

[@nightmathzombieethan]

[@freshpack8928]

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.

[@toddsonbrownlow]

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.

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.

[@billlupin8345]

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.

[@darenYT1]

Not true. As soon as an item is concealed you can be arrested.

[@whyteknight9270]

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

[@darenYT1]

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.

[@billlupin8345]

@@darenYT1 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.

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.

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.

[@shyone968]

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 >_>

cop needs to worry about himself (health) than other people.

[@michaelbell390]

Wal mart is only loseing customer's in this manner....

[@zacharypike386]

I’ve found when walking out of Walmart if I give the person at the door “sea lion eyes” they usually look the other way.

[@sherrycarberg9131]

No he just walked up to the registers with all cashiers standing there and put the items in bags! Come on now people

[@michaelschuett7044]

I work in retail and you have to have someone stealing on camera before you can accuse them of it.

[@PPMOCRG]

That’s not quite accurate. You have to see them stealing. The video is just extra evidence of what you saw.

[@justmedrea4361]

@@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.

[@james64468]

Not true. Walmart doesn't care. They do it with or without telling the truth.

[@franksullivansr1522]

Unless they tell him he is “suspected” of a crime, they CANNOT “detain” or “demand to see a receipt”.

[@evangorski7992]

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

[@majaza45]

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.

[@ronl9357]

Because someone who's going to steal is going to walk out with the stolen goods in plain sight...

[@jagerbomb29]

Yes, they do it all the time. Most shoplifters do push outs.

[@codyhawkins2771]

I worked retail security for years. Yea they absolutely do. In fact that is the case most of the time.

[@dadscavaliers642]

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.

[@workliferecognition7002]

Actually they do. I had a woman run out the door with a tv before. Tell me where you can hide a tv?

[@Mattskilletguy]

ron l they do it all the time! They literally grab TV’s and run out the door. 😂

[@dustinjohnson3463]

the receipt is your property once you have payed they have no right to see it

[@richmatthews7685]

False.. they can ask to see it as you're still on THEIR property

[@2late4me2care]

My possessions are my private property and without some proof pf stealing Wal Mart has no right to my possessions.

[@thatonegirl4676]

Rich Matthews just because someone is on your property, it doesn't mean that you all of a sudden become their property!

[@letsgobrandon7567]

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.

[@shaneippolito]

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..

[@user-ru4rf4jw1h]

SHANE IPPOLITO damn right you are my friend

[@shaneippolito]

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,.

[@guitarman6398]

SHANE IPPOLITO they don’t have the right even with a sign bro.

[@jakle1289]

He for sure stole something, people don't act that way if they're innocent.

[@magnetmac1]

I shouldn't expect anything else from a blogger with a Trump avatar

[@jakle1289]

@@magnetmac1 Why make such a fuss if he's innocent? They ask to check receipts at a bunch of places to make sure you don't throw something in your bag after you pay or use an old bag and just fill it with stolen stuff. He seemed like he had something to hide in my opinion.

[@fishyz1500]

Farting Naked i dont steal things an i get irritated when they ask..when they ask to see it i ask if they think i stole something..they say no an i keep walkin..why only check some..if you check a few gotta check every single person..an where in walmart does it say you have to show your receipt? Never seen it an im there all the time

[@fishyz1500]

An innocent people do act that way when they are tied of being treated like a criminal
