LOL.
A few years ago IBM ran an ad showing this shady looking character putting stuff in his pockets then walking out of the store. A security guard stopped him and said "you forgot your receipt."
Wonder if we'll ever see that.
With the Sam's app you have to show the receipt that's on your phone at the checkout door just the same as a paper receipt.
As to the product in pockets, Amazon has already built a store with no check out. You just load your products in your shopping bag and walk out. You get charged for whatever you took.
Speaking of Sam's receipt check at exit. Is it just our store? They spot check an item on the receipt and look for it in the cart. Shouldn't it be the other way around.
They do do spot checks but mostly they are hoping to get an accurate item count. More often than not, that's all they really check.
