Does anyone (perhaps someone who does retail) know if Michigan law requires one to show a receipt/proof-of-purchase to exit a store? What prompted it is this thread:

I don't like showing my receipt at the exit. I want to put it in my wallet so I don't lose it, and I only have my wallet open when I'm paying.
I can't wait to do this.
Yeah I hate that shit. I also hate when that damn alarm thing goes off by the doors because the cashier forgot to clear a tag or something. I swear it happens once a week at the CVS by my house. I just keep walking.
yeah this story is pretty real fuckin neato
Never been stopped at walmart, but then I've never bought a TV there because their models all suck.
Best buy does stop you, which is stupid because the doorman has sight lines to the cash register. At least at Walmart they can't see the registers at all.
I wonder about Costco. They always stop you and check your receipt. It's crazy because the way the place is walled off you'd have to walk through the checkout. Only reason I can see them checking is that you might have stolen a cart from someone eating at their food court. No way they even really check all your items. They probably count 5 seconds and then mark it off. In fact, they don't even ask you. Since everyone is lined up you just assume you have to stop. I've never actually been asked to stop at Costco.
Costco they can because you sign a membership agreement agreeing to.
^same with Sam's Club (wal-mart version)
Except, you can use the Costco pharmacy without being a Costco member.Quote:
