Hi – I haven’t looked around your blog at all, but I was searching for an image of Costco on Google, and your blog popped up at number one.

Funny you mention the checker people, because I was wondering about the usefulness of the same people at BJs. But I came up with a thought – the scare tactic could save $60, but also, the checker, if diligent, could stop the following situation. During a busy time of day, purchase three items, sneak around the receipt checker, put stuff in your car, re-enter the store, grab the same three items, and walk directly to the receipt checker. Someone would have to be pretty aware to catch you, or ask you what you were doing…
“What are you doing?”
“I’m just getting my receipt checked.”
“Weren’t you just here?”
“Yes, but I had to pick up a few more things I forgot about. See? Check my receipt.”

And they would have to notice the 4 minute difference on the receipt, or check your car and see the same items. Or security would have to check cameras to see you sneaking around the first time.

Okay, I’ve put waaaay too much thought into this already.

Just a scare tactic for anyone who would shoplift. If he’s only making minimum wage, then they only have to save $60 a day in shoplifting to make it worth while. The computer stuff is usually by the front door in most of the ones I’ve been in, so they probably just use the guy/girl to intimidate would be shoplifters…

Just a guess… Sorry you had a poopy day.. Walk around saying poopy tomorrow, and it might cheer you up.
