I'm leaving Wal-Mart, my most favorite thing to do, and the guy is checking receipts like they do at Sam's. But the Wal-Mart man really isn't checking anything, because he said so. We stopped and said "we have two receipts" thinking that he might want to know that bit of information, but he didn't, he said " I aint got time to look at all of that". One wonders what exactly is he doing then?

ROFL the Door Greeters' responsibility is to tag incoming packages, Say "hello, Welcome to Wal-Mart", keep the cart area full (calling for "buggy roundups" that are heartily ignored), and to direct shoppers to the Customer Disservice desk with any and all questions, problems, etc. It is a Wal Mart scam to hire the elderly on fixed incomes and work them to death, as well as a place to stash handicapped or injured-on-the-job workers to make them stand 8-10 hours a day with minimal breaks.
(Wal Mart has a standard assumption that anyone who is injured on the job is lying.)
If you ARE stealing something, they are instructed to let you go; the buzzers are simply to alert the managers - if they are not busy (they always are) and are in the vicinity (they rarely are) to come and help keep you from removing something from the store that has not been scanned. most of the cameras were broken, and while I was there they had a clean sweep of the managerial staff for stealing... removing things off of layaway trailers and out of the back storage, right out the garbage chute...
The greeters are the most abused folk in the store by both customers and supervisors alike, and they are not hired to stop stealing, simply as a placeholder. I once saw a guy walk out the door around Christmastime with the largest TV in the store on his shoulder - and no one made a move to stop him. Wal Mart employees can actually be fired for trying to take down a thief, because by doing so they endanger "Wal Mart property" - the employees.
