More BS for consumers who are now being treated even more like thieves when they shop

Small caveat, but Walmart isn't copying Costco. Sam's Club has always done the receipt checking, too, and Walmart/Sam's Club are owned by the same people. So in a way, they're bringing their Sam's Club behavior over into general Walmart. What makes this infuriating is not only being treated like a thief and having to go through more steps to get out of the fucking store, but I didn't pay for any perks or sign any contract that allows you to search my shit.

We don't have Sam's club in Canada so I was not aware, but regardless my point was a human looking at what's in your cart and verifying your receipt vs. a machine checking that a receipt simply exists.

For sure, I wasn't trying to gotcha or anything. Just adding context for others reading the thread
