After purchasing a electronic item and paying for same I was stopped at exiting and requested to show my receipt for the purchase. My receipt had been placed in the bag by the salesperson. I refused to show my receipt and was told I could not leave the store until I did. I pointed out to the employee that there was no sign that stated "the store retains the right to inspect all packages upon leaving". However, if he called a police officer I would open the package and show him the receipt in the officer's prescense. I explained that by his detaining me and by his request was attracting other customers attention and this was subjecting me to much embarassment. His action is an implication that I am a shoplifter. I asked him to call the manager, which he did. I repeated to the manager the same thing I told the employee. With one exception. I told him that when the police officer finds the receipt in the bag, I am going to own a big piece of the store through a law suit. He refused to call the police and I walked out of the store. I hate shopping at Walmart. They do have the lowest prices. Why? I'ts because they are not unionized,
they use mostly part time help, They have meager health benefits for employees, their store locations are usually subsidized by the municipality, or the developer, the majority of their help is paid minimum wage.
