What's your favorite way to respond to the receipt checker (or any other employee who tries to stop you)? (anarchist.nexus)

If people are suspicious of you, that's already a fuck-up. Be there regularly in walking attire with a bag or coat or whatever, buying cheap things. When you take shit buy SOMETHING on your way out. Come on.

In the States, at Walmart, someone's entire job is to stand at the door and ask to see receipts.

Edit: Also I'm lowkey offended and annoyed that you assume I'm a noob and, as such, wrote your comment with a condescending tone

I am definitely way too condescending to people, but your post comes off like instructing others that being in that situation is okay. Shoplifting varies widely in risk depending how insane everyone involved is. Years ago I would take enough food to eat, that's not me trying to show off my elite skills. I think the frequency of shoplifting required to survive calls for one billion percent more effort and fastidiousness. You gotta buy a seltzer on the way out!!!

I'm murican too yes

Oh it just occurred to me why you're saying the thing about buying something. Even when I shop like a regular customer, I still decline to show my receipt, both as personal practice and to help destigmatizate it for anyone who is actually stealing

Yeah we're talking about different kinds of shoplifting 😅 I suppose I should've posted this to c/illegalism, but I wanted to support this instance
