Today I generally ignore the douches they post to check receipts. They can "Sir! Sir!" me all they want but they must realize they have no pull on me once I swipe the credit card. I'm curious as to why they keep this charade up. Does it really fool anybody? Does it stop theft anymore than a decent security camera? If you want to look at expert loss prevention, look at Target stores. They have some of the best policies and equipment in the business.

What amazes me is that the guy that "looks" at your receipt to ensure whatever very rarely appears to be actually looking at the product descriptions. They just stare at the square of paper, hit it with a Hi-Liter, and give you an affirmative grunt. What a waste for everyone involved.
