Thats exactly right.

Either regional or store-by-store... the Walmart by us checks people "at random" (somehow i always get stopped).

i've never waited more than a minute or two at Costco because of the receipt-checking... just pissed me off the first couple times i went there because i'd put my receipt away and had to dig it back out.

I find that around here they only check you if you don't have the receipt in your hand. I keep my shit in my hand and they don't even stop me.

Yep it's the same around here and that has been my experience...digging for a receipt.

I'm a Costco executive member and I love that place. It was crowded all the time when I lived in Seattle, but here in GR it's never real busy. I've never had to wait in the checkout line for than 5 minutes and never more than 2 or 3 people deep at the exit where they are checking receipts. I do avoid buying electronics there because I have heard about warranty issues before, although I did buy my laptop there, but it was shipped to me direct from Dell and I know the 3 years warranty is good. I've already verified it with them.

Sams? Yeah I don't like that place. I refuse to do business with Wallyworld.

I don't mind the checking recepit thing at the end, cause it always seems to go fast, but the same fat chick is ALWAYS there. Now, I have nothing against fat chicks, but this chick wears the tightest thin spandex pants with the biggest GUNT. It's nasty as fuck. If you put a bag over her head you wouldn't know if you were looking from the front or rear. I suggested one time to get some hot young chick to do this cause then at least you wouldn't piss people off.

I shop at Sams every 2 weeks. When you eat 12 eggs a day, 10oz tuna, 5 oz chicken, brocolli up the wazoo, whey protein, half and half, cottage cheeze shit adds up fast in the commerical chain supermarkets. I figure I save about 100 a month at Sam's. Though, everything in the first post is true, Sam's are pretty ghetto fabulous.

Fuck that. I bought it, it's mine, piss-off. I'm not a goddamn 12 year old, I can check my own receipt to make sure I wasn't overcharged.

Sucks to be them. I don't work there.

I find the worst lines I have been in are at Wal mart. Even the grocery store is a bitch. You show me a store without a line up and I will show you a store that is closed.

Sucks to work there but its not because of a quick look in your lunch bag.

Do you buy tuna in standard 5-oz cans? How much are they at Sams?

And what do you use half-and-half for?

You shouldn't have any problem with a warranty. If you ever do just return the item. My father in law returned a tv early this year that died just after the warranty ran out. They took it back for him.

Also you can ask them to check were warranty work is handled for a product. That info used to be in the computer so it wasn't hard to find out if you could get repairs done locally.
