    A bunch of stores in my area do that now.

    But it’s really security theater.

    The security guards grab the receipt, Mark it, and move on. Well, that’s what happens when my wife is around. Usually 2-3 seconds.

    When I’m alone (because I’m brown), they check extra thoroughly and I’m being checked for about twice as long. Not enough to be aggravating, but enough notice the BS.

    But then again, my stoner cousin is a store security guard and now he has a job and he really really doesn’t give a shit about his role.
