A Walmart shopper has been praised for confronting an employee at the store’s exit and refusing to show him his receipt.
The shopper’s actions have been praised by customers across the country.
A TikTok video shared by user Richiehustles (@richiehustles) shows a woman rushing out of Walmart with a cart full of items.
As she approached the exit, a clerk grabbed her cart and demanded proof of her receipt.
The customer failed to follow receipt verification procedures and began shouting “excuse me” at the employee who refused to let the woman through.
Undeterred by the employee’s aggressive behavior, the customer pulled the cart out of his hands and made his way to the exit.
This video has been viewed over 9,000 times.
Some users praised customers who refused to show their receipts.
“At that point, I would just flip the cart and walk out,” a user commented.
“Oh, forget about that. It’s illegal detention, it’s a lawsuit,” said another man.
“There’s no sign saying you need to sign up to enter. I want you to get tested,” said a third man.
“If the cops were there, a warrant would be issued for his arrest,” another person chimed in.
However, some warn that customers will need to show their receipt to avoid escalating the situation.
“Show me the receipt!!” a user commented.
“What’s the problem with showing the receipt?? There’s been a lot of shoplifting lately. Merchants and honest shoppers have to pay for this shit!” a user commented.
“She’s stealing!” said another.
“Show me the receipt!!” A third chime rang.
Meanwhile, a content creator is being praised for his response to a Walmart employee who demanded to see his receipt.
Lawyers also warn that Walmart shoppers may refuse to produce their receipts when leaving the store.
