When I worked there and my manager asked me to check people’s receipt, I’d just pretend to look at the receipt and then stare blankly at the cart then let them through. I’ve let like 10 people who underscanned or straight up stole leave the store, and the security manager praised me for being vigilant and being a model employee lol
Encouraging retail employees to make a show of checking receipts is probably one of the best easy things we can do to improve people's lives under late capitalism.
The more shoppers that have an experience of an employee doing an empty check, the more people will get the idea that they can just take stuff.
Even if you do have a receipt from Walmart, checking to identify every line item is a pain in the ass.
Ask me how I know.
