Some people keep their receipts in case they need to exchange something, while others can’t stand the weight of the receipt paper and want to toss it away after a few seconds. The second kind may become involved in an issue when the employee at the existing gate refuses to let them exit without a receipt.

OP entered the second category and threw the receipt away immediately after purchasing some products from Walmart. The OP was stopped by an employee at the exit door to check the receipt because the products were not in a bag. OP informed the lady that it had been misplaced on their way out and that she could confirm the purchase with the lady at the checkout counter. Read the complete story to see how the worker reacted when OP was unable to show her the receipt.

1. OP asks if it was wrong to tell the Walmart employee that if she wanted the receipt, then she should dig it herself out of the trash.

2. OP went to Walmart for shopping and, after checking out, unintentionally threw away the receipt. The employee stopped to see the receipt, which OP had lost.

3. The worker chastised OP for throwing the receipt and refused to let go. She asked OP to bring the receipt from the trash, but OP replied that she should dig it out herself.

4. After watching the fuss, the lady behind the counter came over to confirm the OP’s purchase, but the worker insisted on seeing the receipt even after the confirmation.

5. The worker left OP after being warned not to throw the receipt again. OP complained about her to Walmart.

6. OP added that the lady had already seen her checking out and throwing the receipt, and that was why she was getting on OP without wearing a mask.

The worker became enraged with the OP for dumping the receipt carelessly and refused to let it go. OP urged her to go check with the counter, but she refused to leave her spot. After watching the hubbub, the lady behind the desk walked over and confirmed that OP had purchased the things. The lady told OP not to leave the receipt in the future because she would not leave the situation easily the next time. OP reported to Walmart about her behavior and shared the story to learn about other people’s perspectives.

11. Redditor is always stopped by the worker to show her receipt, which may be because she might look suspicious.

14. Redditor condemns the lady worker for not putting on her mask after being repeatedly told by OP.

15. Redditor has a valid point.

16. Yes, Walmart should provide proper training to the workers to handle real thieves.
