Lots of love for 100 year Walmart greeter...

[BlueStateSaint]

I sure hope one of these asshats gives me crap when I become a Wally World greeter! I have no doubts I will become one, either! The way O'bumbler and his minions have set the country back, I'll be workin' until I'm a 100, too!

I'll knock the snot out of 'em with my cane, then shove the business end up their ass so far they'll think it's a tongue depressor!!

Nice to see you again, AR.

I had a greeter ask me for a receipt once at Walmart, I said sure and showed it to them, I had nothing to hide, and I also have to show my receipt at BJ's.

Same here --BJ's and Wally World?  You been stalking me?

I look at it this way.  I, as an honest person, have nothing to hide, and have no problem with the extra five seconds that a greeter is going to take to make sure nothing OBVIOUS is walking out the store.  They've never gone over my purchases with a fine tooth comb, never given me the TSA treatment, and if they were to do so, I would say something to their supervisor/manager, not them.

LOL!

I'm used to it at BJ's but it was the 1st time it ever happened at Walmart, not sure why they wanted to see my receipt but maybe for some reason they decided to check a lot of people out that day, maybe they had a rash of shoplifters, the greeter was a senior and very nice, so what am I supposed to do? be rude to them? even at my age my Mother would smack me if I was rude to someone who was just doing their job, and especially if they were a senior. I was raised to respect my elders and you NEVER argue with them.

In other words, Ballygrl, you and me were raised RIGHT (in more ways than one!)

Seems like they have been doing that receipt check thing for the last year or so.  They do it at Sam's too, so I thought it was part of their policy.  They do it at Best Buy and Fry's as well.  I just show them my receipt and they highlight it.  Why does everything have to be such a big friggin deal???

41. Then there is Wal Mart policy, which basically states that they will not chase or restrain anyone. I had an incident some years ago with one of their loss prevention bubbas which ended with Wal Mart firing him and apologizing to me for it.
 

Then they fall to squabbling about "Shopkeepers Privilege" laws, bore everybody with self-righteous claims of never shopping at Walmart, then tussle over whether a 100-year-old "had" to work, or "wanted" to work.  

Only one DUmmy had a glimmer of clarity:

Because they're DUmmies, and in DUmmieland, every poster chants the mantra, "But...but...but...it's all about MEEEEEEE!!!!"

So being asked for receipt upon leaving a store is an assault upon humanity but being naked scanned or sexually assaulted by the TSA is okey dokey?

They really are idiots and deserve to go to the camps in 2013.

I'm beginning to lean more toward sausage grinders and dog food.

Not for my dog.  I don't feed him trash.

If they don't want to show their receipt then they should shop elsewhere.  When I lived in Puerto Rico all the stores checked receipts because things really had a way of walking out the door over there.

[PatriotGame]

Most don't, and since Target entered into a deal with Walmart and Haliburton to build underground detention centers in their new stores, they take their business elsewhere when possible.

Sometimes, it just ain't possible.

Teh Rove is one helluva marketing/business manager...

[AllosaursRus]

He was probably fired because he wasn't suppose to go after the thief in the first place.  I work at Macy's at the fragrance counters, right next to the lower level mall entrance.  I am not allowed to chase someone down for stealing something.  Loss Prevention does that.  If we, as employees, see someone acting suspicious, we just call LP and they send in their "undercover" employees (wearing plain clothes, blending in with shoppers) to observe the potential shoplifter(s).  LP chases down the shoplifters, not me.  And if I were to "play the hero", I could be fired.

Yep, that was it! I just can't wrap my mind around firing the guy though! He was doin' what he thought was right, all the while tryin' to protect his employer!

How the hell do ya fire somebody for that?

[DumbAss Tanker]

When I worked at the Home D'Pot, they just let shoplifters skate! They might try and keep them outa the store if they can identify them, but for the most part, they are more afraid of law suits if they get it wrong. One employee stopped a guy from stealing 2 chain saws and got fired for his effort!

I saw something of that policy in a New Jersey HD a few years back, and there are some dirtbag mofos in NJ that will steal anything that isn't welded in place (After dark, even welding wouldn't work).  Guy tried to push a loaded cart of big ticket stuff out and it set off the alarms, the register crews hustled over and confronted him about a receipt which he of course didn't have.  After a short bit of shucking and jiving on his part about having paid for it (somehow), they took charge of the cart but just let him wander off clean, without calling the cops and despite there probably being somewhere north of 7-800 bucks worth of gear in the cart.

When I worked at Best Buy....our LP was the same.

58. Not only was she within her rights, but **** greeters, generally speaking

yeah, **** the greeters.  They are just the little people trying to make a living to feed their families or pay the rest.   


So much for the left being the champion of the working class.....
