Yes but if you don’t have a “cart” with stuff in it no problem. If you don’t have a receipt it looks like you cant leave that store unless you see a staff member.

In theory, they are supposed to match receipt to items purchased but rarely do. One time they did with me and it blew the guard's mind because I had paid for 2 items and was only taking 1 away - the other was being delivered. He needed a manager to make sense of what was happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 So if I've just carefully packed away all my messages, these c***s are going to unpack everything again and match it against my receipt? GTF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Last night, my 13 year old daughter and I watched the neighbour's cat stalk, catch, release, catch again and generally murder a mouse. When the cat got it, my kid was whispering under her breath "Kill it! Kill it!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No swipe on receipt, return is refused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amusingly they rotate colors and styles of swipe (vertical, horizontal, green, pink, blue, black, etc) and I’ve seen them check the receipt versus a list…guess it works for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
