    I’ve always gone with “no thank you” and keep walking. No need to comply but no need to be a dick either. I’ve done that job too fwiw.

      Interesting. I always just show my receipt because if I say no, they’ll probably think I’m stealing. But props to you for not complying.

        Back in the day, the register was the exit for the store. There wasn’t a buy and keep wandering around option, you got your stuff paid and left. I’ve never appreciated adding the extra stage of a bag/receipt checker.

          It should go back to being that way. I think most stores have the door person just to be a first point of call for finding things on the shop floor, but checking receipts is a bit of a waste of money and time. Could be saving lives ffs.

        I don’t give a fuck what they think about me personally.

        It’s the attrition of an important societal ethos that I dislike intensely, the attrition of presumption of innocence.
