    They can call the police for theft. I’d rather give them a receipt then deal with the police.

        Yes, Walmart can call the cops on suspected shoplifters. They even have their own security force to prevent shoplifting

          Not showing the receipt is not good enough cause to call the cops for suspected shoplifting

          This is very easy to Google and find out

              No, it doesn’t. You’re not obligated to stop and show anything to them (again unless it’s Costco or similar and you’ve signed an agreement)

              Source: literally haven’t shown a receipt for anything in over 5 years. Walked right out of Walmart with a TV in hand one day, even. Still never had the cops called

              Oh, and again, just Google it ffs

                  Both at varying points in the many years I’ve done it. They can ask and I just say nah and walk past, they don’t fuckin care either

                  Again, this is all a simple Google search away so you can have more than one random person’s testimony at hand
