The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Costco and Sam's require a membership and letting them check your receipt and stuff is part of the terms of your membership. They could, in theory, take civil legal action against you, in reality, they'll review video and cancel your membership and refuse to let you purchase in the future. Walmart, Target, Lowes, etc, don't require a membership. Worst they can do is trespass you from the property.

I've only had Walmart ask. I say, "No, thank you." and keep walking. No problems so far.

The local Walmart hired off duty cops and the law says you can just walk out but they have cop attitudes and will fuck with you over anything because of their stupid power trip.
