9. No Circuit City is the new Wal-Mart.

At my Wal-Mart the greeter checks receipts on the way in and the way out.

10. I'm not sure that's a bad idea

Heard on NPR about a month ago (a stupid criminal trick) a guy switched price tags on a Slim Jim with a flat screen TV and checked himself out at one of the self checkout machines paying the Slim Jim price for a big ole TV. He was caught when the greeter checked his receipt on the way out. Regardless of one's opinion of Wal-Mart that was nothing but theft.

11. I don't see how that could happen

Not calling you a liar but wondering about the accuracy of the story. Self-checkouts are generally set up so that you put the item in a bag that weighs it - if the weight doesn't match the computer's description of the item, it flags it.

Large items are checked by store personnel.

13. I thought it was mainly grocery stores had the kind that weigh.

:shrug:

[skygazer]

14. Well, Home Depot does, too

I don't know for sure about others but they've got to have some sort of way of ensuring accuracy. I would think. :shrug:

[BOSSHOG]

15. Just relaying the info from NPR

The Saturday Morning Wait, Wait Program. I could certainly imagine a stupid criminal attempting such a thing.

[Fox Mulder]

16. They don't do that at my Wal-Mart.

If they did, I'd never shop there again.

17. Receipts are the new Olive Garden.
