Under California law, you are not required to permit any store employee to check your receipt and it's illegal for them to prevent you from leaving for refusing to be checked. When someone tries to check my receipt, I inform them that they don't need to see anything and keep walking. If they press it, I inform them that if they don't want to obey state law, I'll be happy to make them obey it. This has worked for me at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Fry's Electronics and other stores. If you're in a membership store (Costco, Sam's Club, et al) the store can probably revoke your membership privileges for doing so.

This doesn't make any sense...you mean to tell me if you shopped lifted an item and were caught on camera, there is nothing the store can do?

What's the big deal checking a receipt? Nothing wrong with complying and saying have a nice day...(<)<

Maybe if you didn't wear pants that was hanging of your ass like they do in prison. Maybe not walking with a swagger and also speak english and not gibberish that would help.


btw Walmart don't even check here in Michigan. Sam's and Costco do it to everyone.

Maybe it is racist POV that has kept you unemployed for an extended period of time.




LOL yeah thats it. Or maybe I live in Michigan outside of Detroit. Or maybe I was in an auto type industry. Or maybe right at this time getting a job for me is not the most important thing for me right now.

So now its racist to laugh at the thugs that walk around with thier pants hanging off thier ass. I call that just smart thinking. I would never ever hire somebody that watks around like that

Store employees can detain for shoplifting but not for refusing a receipt check. In order to detain for shoplifting, one must be seen taking the item, they must wait until one exits the store and one must be observed (by human eye or camera) constantly from the time one take the item until the time one exits the store). If store employees aren't detaining for shoplifting, they're engaging in attempted kidnapping.

Dude, really......sue wal-mart for checking your bag? Where is Beantownjim when we need him

Please don't take anything I've said as an insult to you personally. I don't know you at all and obviously no nothing about you. And yes I live in Florida and I think you are slightly mistaken about this side of the country as well. Miami has a ton of cubans however Florida is absolutly littered with Mexicans, both legal and illegal. In fact Florida is about 21% hispanic. I live 15 minutes from a city named fellsmere. In that city about 7% of the population has a college degree. Only about 37% of the city has a high school degree, and about 75% of the city is hispanic. Of that 69% are mexican. Obviously you can tell by those numbers that I live very close to a large number of both legal and illegal hispanics and specifically mexicans. I also don't agree with illegal alians living in this country and using our systems while not paying for it. However, here is my point. Would you not agree that you "racially profiled" the mexicans in that Wal-Mart based on the fact that they had a bunch of children, dressed a certain way, and what they were eating. Fact is some of those mexicans were probably honest hard working legal mexican americans. You even used the word beaner, which I would guess would be an insult even if you said it to a legal mexican american would it not? I know in florida the legal mexicans would take offense to that word. I guess in the end I'm just saying lighten up a little. You probably ran across 1 or 2, 78 year old racist white pricks that think it should still be 1953. F*ck those guys, they make up less than 1% of the employees of your Wal-Mart. By all means go to the store or district manager and tell them your plight. It will at the very least make the manager aware of the problem so he can watch the employee more closly, and it may even get the old prick fired, but trying to sue Wal-Mart over it is a little much IMO.

Don't be hat'in the old folks, there doing their jobs.

I have had my bags checked many times. Of course, I have been mistaken for a mexican, but I am white/indian/irish/german

nah they search me too. it pisses me off. if you dont make eye contact on the way out most will let you walk on by. they are lazy old farts, if you look at them and give them a chance they feel obligated to search you.

they fuckin take FOREVER to put thier glasses on and squint and read the print on the recepit to verify i did indeed buy that one box of cereal for 2.38. when im really in a foul mood they and they piss me off ill just drop my shit on the ground and walk straight to the register i just paid at and make the cashier come to the door with me. at this point, the cashier is confused and is as a cashier trained to satisfy the customer by damn near any means necessary so they will oblige and follow and make the greeter feel like ass. it makes a scene but really speeds things up if your in a hurry

Everytime I go to Walmart and buy shit they have these 90 year old greeters asking to check my bags and receipt when I leave. The funny thing is the don't ask to check the bags of the many white people that left the store just before me.

I wanna sue this store big time hopefully it becomes class action because from looking on the net a lot of minorities have experienced the same bullshit.

Any ideas about going about doing this? Contacting an attorney looking for a fight, Do I call the news in an attempt to get them to do some kind of piece about the profiling, Have TMZ put them on blast?

Maybe you should try something a little easier if your gonna sue. Why not go to McDonald's and spill hot coffee all over your crotch? You could sue and make some big bucks!@):mad:

I'm White and everytime i go in Zayre the black lady checks my receipt. I think I should sue. I feel so violated.

stfu and stop going in Wal Mart if you don't like it. If I got paid extra for every shop lifter I caught I'd do some racial profiling too.

Just like at the airport if ur names Ahamed or Ali and I'm running the show get ready for a full out search.

Free country you can always leave.

Yeah your not a ignorant redneck.

I guess since black people are no longer working for free in this country you no longer want to employ them. I guess since black people are no longer doing the cooking, cleaning, chauffeuring and raising your children they are no longer allowed in your house or even in your same neighborhood.

Now you want black people out of the country that they were kidnapped and brought to and forced to stay and were killed if they tried to escape, talk or even read a book. African Americans aren't immigrants that came here on their own free will unlike the many other races in this country. They are the least among freeloaders considering they built they country along with the Chinese. Without the African and Chinese influence on this country this America could have been a wasteland like Scotland. So next time you sink your teeth into that Italian, French or Cajun dish and some of that good ol American home cooked comfort food remember blacks were the ones concocting those recipes in the kitchen. I never seen a movie or read a book where a Ceaser ate Lasagna or Baked Ziti. If I recall he just ate fruits, bread and cooked bird.
