Anyone get stopped leaving stores?

Check with Visa, or other card companies; putting "check ID" on "signature" line is wrong. Cashiers are to check signature line on card to signature you just made on receipt. A card that has no signature is invalid, according to terms of card holder. That is why it always says " sign card before using"

Maybe it's new?

The 3 Corporate Cards we have at work are only imprinted with the company name...

On the back it says to record Driver's License after verifying.

You disgruntled guys are getting profiled. As I got older, I found that I get less and less 'special attention' from the store associates. One time a long ago, I had a clerk follow me all over a book store to check if I was going to shoplift. I amused myself by going from one side of the store to the other.

Years ago, before all the video camera coverage, I loved playing games with the loss prevention undercover shoppers.

They do not have the right to check my bags without a search warrent.

Search warrants only applies to government, like police, not private, like a store.

Exactly, they have no right to search my property, what I have just purchased.

Im not sure how thses buzzer things work but for about 3 months I would set ever stinking one of them off entering and exiting, one night when Amy and I had just gotten engaged I set the buzzer off at TSC The flunky patrol rushed up telling onthe radio that they had a situation up front. I got POED The workers that had done it were trying to impress the pretty new manager. Well It was croweded and I handed my phone though my shoes and my shirt then started unzipping the shorts They never asked that again. I have a rod in my leg from an auto accident and I had helped work on the local scrap yard magnet. Every time I work on it I lean my leggs against it It causes the buzzers to go off. Walmart I back handed a stock boy once It was rainging all day and I had been under a dozer part of the day wet and cold and rough looking. On my way out the buzzer went off I stepped back in and got the go ahead from the manager. On way out again the thing went off i nthe entryway, I have trouble hearing if Im not facing someone when I got to the ramp in fromt someone tackled me with a bear hug I whipped around and slapped the dogcrap out of the stock boy. I was really about to unload and saw he was about a 16 yearold. He hadnt seen what went on the inside and had heard the buzer 2 times. His girlfriend was there and to impress her he ran me down and grabbed me. Bent my glasses to that was what really griped me. Ireally dont like being made a point out if and If my wife is there it doesnt phase me either.

Well, we went back tonight (mainly to see if said person was around to get his name), but he wasn't so I will have to write a letter with just his description and complain. nobody tried to stop us and see the receipt, but if I had seen him near the door I would have put something on the bottom rack of the cart just to see if he tried to pull a stunt like that again.

I get checked sometimes leaving Walmart, have done ever since I can remember, its normal. They check the receipt.

No big deal, they are keeping prices down by checking for thieves.
How is that a bad thing in anyway?

What gets me is when they make me show ID to buy spray paint.

This is a good law, it cuts down on the taggers. I wish they did this in WA. In CA they keep spray paint behind a locked cage door.

That's pretty good. I'll have to remember that!

Needless to say Amy has learned alot being married to me. The best way to get results with a stubborn clerk or manger or helper is to draw as much attention to that one spot as fast as you can within reason of being decent and that doesnt last long. I bought this house from my dad after my parents divorced. I went to the power office and to get the power bill sent here dad went with me they wanted 600 to change the name on the bill. Too much then dad suggested that they just do it like a rental property send the bill to my house leave it in his name no way had to be changed over. Amy went in and she came out I went in and had a come apart and I got results lol. I was building a cage from hog pannels to make a stock trailer and went into TSC the I had backed my traler close to the gate and paid for my 2 panels and wait 30 minutes for an associate to open the gate. no such luck he and the manager were talking about the race that evening. I got impatient and showed them the order then I went out there and slid them inder the fence. about that time Impaloompa and 2 com running out hollering to stop so I chunked them onto the truck and back whipped out my ticket and made a spectacleI reminded them on how long the wait was and that racing wasnt part of their job. When dads younger brother came back from Vietnam he was way skinny and his clothes didnt fit when dad and his youngest brother went to get him they stopped at a store to buy him some new clothes when the sales lady kept eyeballing them and trotting down each isle right behindthem like convicts. Dad said his youngest brother had been on that Jack Daniels and pickled eggs run the night before. He looked be hind him and this little lady was about 3 feet a way and my Uncle (edit: you can imaging what happened). Dad said the clerk put it in overdrive and left them alone.
