I am on a fierce crusade against scanning your receipt to be "granted" exit through the gates. I'm not playing their stupid fucking game, I force the gates open every time as a matter of principle.

Lol, stores think they have a right to hold me in the store against my will unless I dance their little dance? Suuuure, now watch me leave.

if you pay a membership (costco, sams, etc), they are allowed to stop you at the door and 'check' your receipt.

other stores, just say 'no thanks' and keep walking, or have visible earbuds in and be jammin' out the door.
