I don't know what the big deal is. It takes two seconds and you are out the door. It's good for you and it's good for them.

They don't want to "see" your receipt, they want to see if the items that you are carrying out the door are identical to the items that are on your receipt.
Customers steal things. Employees scam GC and give things to their friends that aren't on the receipt. Employees make errors. In a store like GC it's a prudent practice and in the 20 years I've been shopping at GC I've never considered it an inconvenience.
If you take an instrument in to GC to play or trade they will inspect it and record the serial number, and they will inspect it again when you leave. It's all part of an accountability program in a company that desperately needs all the accountability they can get. Have you seen the typical GC employee?

If you shop at Wal Mart, you're gonna be treated like a Wal Mart customer. You don't go to GC for the great customer service...
I mean, I can fully understand where you're coming from, but on the other hand I think that I'm probably not alone in being shocked that you didn't realize that they did this. That's the whole reason for the toll booth there at the front door of every GC...
Pushing your way through the turnstile when you walked in is kinda the first clue that it's not "customer first" there...

I'd be surprised if there isn't a sign posted somewhere (maybe a small one) at all of these stores that says "we reserve the right to inspect all belongings blah blah"...

it all depends on the way the greeters or door people go about it. at the shitty GC i go to there is a cool long hair guy always wearing leather and shit, and he's alwyas like, " hey dude can i check your reciept" and i'm like yeah man no prob. and he's like " sorry man , stupid policy, have a good one" . when you get older people, and they see people like me, shaved head or long hair, i have two half sleeves, my sons name tatted around my neck, ear rings, ect..... they get a) intimidated and b) assume we are criminals of some sort. no one is more predjudice than old people (for the most part, calm the fuck down) . if they show respect and act like they are doing a job then fine. if they act like I am trying to get away with something or i can see their body language is in obvious dissaproval for my whole scenario, then fuck them, i give them a hard time on purpose. luckily i am a big dude, and alot of times they just dont bother even though they obviously want to. fuck them. i am usually the first one to hold a door for an older dude or lady or whatever. but shoot me that vibe, or body language and i will wait till your close and slam that fucker in your face and plant my middle finger right behind it. :x

Old people are funny. They're usually pissed about something and they're easily confused. It's a great combination. And man do they hate farmer's markets!!

The funny part is that they check what's in the bag.
I could stash so much shit in my clothing that what would be in the bag would be minimal in comparison.
What I thinhk is stupid is that some of them won't let you take your guitar, in it's case, to try something out.
I blew my top once, and told them, fine - if some kid runs into me and I end up so much as putting a scratch in my guitar, I will walk out of here with the most expensive guitar your store has in stock as well as my freshly scratched guitar.
What the hell do you want - you write down the $*&# Serial Number. What am I going to leave it here and walk out with an empty case? Are you that stupid? Oh, I know, I'll swap cases on you. Where the hell do you see a case anywhere in this store that says GIBSON HISTORIC on it? Get a fucking clue.
After they realized I was serious, and quite pissed, they said fine...take it in...and waved me off...

Oh yeah, and the girl at the GC here in Tulsa has some HUGE titties and she wears clothes that make her about a sneeze away from being a stripper.
not all that pretty otherwise, but at least you have something to look at the whole time.

Who the fuck cares if they check your receipt? If you honestly returned all that stuff because they checked your receipt you're a dumbass. :roll:

They do that at Costco too. I was fine with it until they started doing cavity searches.

So I guess you shouldnt have been tryin to steal shit. Next time you go on a plane tell them to fuck off and show you respect. Grow up.
