Walmart near me has started using receipt checkers lately and they don’t even really do their job, it’s kind of a gimmick really. They just look at the receipt for a second Don’t even look at your cart, but they stop you every time. It’s just such a waste of my time when I’m in a hurry. I had one person even tell me that it was required by law. No it’s not! There’s no law in the USA that says they have to check your receipt.

Every time they try to stop me at Walmart, I just say, no thank you, and keep walking. Nobody’s ever tried to stop me from leaving the store.
Sam’s club and Costco are a little different. I begrudgingly stop there because of the membership. We technically agreed to it in the terms of signing up.
Just… Don’t stop? Keep walking. They legally can’t stop you and they know it. It’s a psychological barrier, not a physical or legal barrier. Make direct eye contact, smile, say “No, thanks” and keep walking. It’s worked for me so far.
Nothing like being treated like a criminal when I go into a store to give them money.
Stores lose a huge amount of money to shop lifting. They won’t risk profits unless it is worth it.
Security theater, just like the TSA. They don’t need to stop bad actors, they just need to convince their shareholders that they are taking action against losses.

You can ignore them. Don’t even acknowledge and walk on by.
Just look pissed off and walk by as though they don’t exist. They’ll never bother you.
They don’t get paid enough to fight and they know it.
They cannot legally prohibit your egress. If you signed a contract agreeing to checks, I guess they could cancel your membership or whatever the contract says.
