10 is 2 in binary.

01 = 1
10 = 2
11 = 3

I understand Binary, we use it all the time in designating CPC boards.

I feel great I knew something here /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

OK Murph........back to the original subject at hand.
I've never really objected to them checking my purchases vs my receipt. In some of the stores it's hard to get to the door without walking by the checkout counters with merchandise you didn't pay for. But crooks will always find a way. If they feel it is the best customer interest to do this....and hopefully keeping prices lower because of crooks or crooked cashiers, I guess I can live with the 30 seconds it takes for them to do a cursory check /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: Sam\'s Walmart Check Out Fiascal!!

I agree BillyP. I work in retail at another big box and we check slips at the main exits. When doing this, if someone is offended, I explain that theives dress the same as everyone else.

I believe this to be absolutely true as we find about as many "professional" looking folks trying to walk out with merchandise as "hoods". The stories I could tell, but I'll keep this short.
I hate a thief!

I'd rather y'all checked slips than have the cashier forget to erase the anti- theft gadget in or on whatever I bought. It's awful embarassing to have the alarms go off when you through the door. I know I paid but you know that everybody else in the store thinks you got busted shoplifting! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I've found those little white bars in all sorts of stuff you wouldn't expect them in and I don't think the cashiers even know what all they're in. When it happens anymore I turn around with a shocked look on my face and holler out " D$#@it, busted again!" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: Sam\'s Walmart Check Out Fiascal!!

My son and I had purchased some items(CD) at a Walmart and while we are going out of the door the "alarms" go off.The store clerk an older gentleman starts checking our receipts and was having a hard time deciphering everything /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gifand about that time an alarm goes off again and again.There are about 3 different customers standing around along with me and the poor old guy is getting flustered checking all of the receipts and finally he said"ah go on and leave he wasn't going to check all of our slips" !! and waves us all out of the store. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: Sam\'s Walmart Check Out Fiasco!!

Sometimes, I don't have anything better to do - what do you think would happen if I bought something at Walmart, put the receipt in the bag, and, if the checker asked me to look at my purchase/receipt, I politely refused?

<font color="blue">what do you think would happen </font>

You'd be gang tackled by 20-30 people in blue vests, beat senseless and left in the dumpster behind the automotive dept with a smiley face sticker pinned to your.... /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif


OK, probably not... but I have a friend that worked security at a national retail store chain(not Walmart) for a few months. He said if people refused, they just let them go. They weren't allowed to touch anybody for fear of lawsuits.
