So, if there was such a law why would the cop Wal-Mart employee be asking for it if he wasn’t allowed to?

Dumbass!

Do you do everything anyone tells you to do because you’re a spineless jellyfish? Freedom takes guts. Too bad you’re a slave even to yourself.

So says a spineless gutless jellyfish slave. FUCT ;-)

Talking about taking out someone at the knees is not humor.

There are always abandoned mine shafts. At least around here.

Yeah but if they did all of those ridiculous things there would be quick results.
If they did something that a law official recognized as blatantly illegal, law enforcement would intercede.
More importantly if it offended enough people they would stop shopping there, and if enough stopped shopping there Wal Mart would go out of business.
You hyperbole is the argument of a person who doesn’t have facts to back his argument. I could just as easily say the moon will fall out of the sky and crash into Wal Mart’s headquarters, and support that as well you can support the hypothetical you set forth.
Again if you don’t like their policies, don’t shop there. If you want to go further start a boycott, try to get others to not shop there. That’s how you change Wal Mart’s rules. Not by bullying employees, who are following the rules set down for them at much greater consequence than you have. They can lose their jobs for not following the rules. What did you risk?
Your argument sounds less and less conservative, every time you add to it.

Well like it or not you would be in the minority, and fortunately not only that, the judge wouldn’t let it stand.

Private citizens or businesses do not get the right to hold people against their will just because they FEEL like it. Refusing to show a receipt is not probably cause for a CRIME.

The law allows folks to be detained ONLY if they have reasonable reason to suspect them of a crime, refusing to show them a receipt is not remotely probable cause. The threshold to allow a private citizen to be held against their will is far higher than the fact that some schmuck doesn’t like the fact you won’t show him a receipt for a product you paid for.

To think that somehow the barrier to be imprisoned should be so low shows just exactly how successful the leftist have become at dumbing down the general population. No one, no one has the right to detain you against your will without damned good cause, to believe that you are a criminal, refusing to show a receipt does not remotely meet that barrier.

“Alas, it’s NOT your receipt. It is theirs.”

Sorry to disturb you, I know you're busy composing a response to post 423, but I went to Wal Mart earlier today and when I checked out in the self serve line, the screen said “Your receipt is below...”. And when I was at Kroger it said “Take your receipt.” I take that to mean the receipt is mine, not theirs.

I'll let you get back to your composition now. No need to respond to this post. Keep working on the other response.

Figure of speech ~ you get into an argument in court over who really “owns”, not just “has possession of”, a stack of bills or receipts for some celebrity you will discover THEY LIED TO YOU and you know how those “evil corporations” are, right?

You said you cut lines ~ hardly Christian behavior.

You've lost me here. Not sure what you're talking about.

The guy is an ass. It’s just common sense and common decency to cooperate with reasonable loss prevention measures.

The American system of law values few things more highly than the freedom for people to come and go as they please. DBKP.

I guess you don’t mind being a *confined person* against your will. //rhetorical [this has been covered ad nauseum on this thread.]

Gotta love the douchebaggery of this guy. Talk about not picking your battles!

I just wish the story ended with him dropping the TV in the parking lot and having to go back in the store waving his receipt lol

Please get a grip. Flashing my receipt on the way out of a store has absolutely nothing to do with confinement.
