    Haven’t been to Costco in years but it always aggravated the hell out of me that you’d have to wait in line to check out and then wait in line again to check the receipt to leave.

      Okay so here is the thing between the two.

      CostCo you are a member and have to agree to terms. In those terms there is an agreement to show your receipt on exit. (Almost all the time its a numbers game. It says 9 on the receipt, there are 9 items in the cart)

      Walmart has no such agreement, this actually falls into a unwarranted search. I am not a lawyer but just giving you the info about why it happens at CostCo.

          It’s supposed to be so that they can check that you have everything you paid for.

          I’ve had this happen to me once at a club warehouse; I was supposed to have two cases of something but only had one. Had there been no receipt checker I would have had half of what I was supposed to have.

          Granted, I still hate them at WalMart.
