  Fry's supposed to have the same policy.  The clerk that rings
  you up says "show your receipt at the exit".  I do - from about
  10 feet away without breaking my stride.  No problem. Big smile.

  On the other side of the coin - Costco has the same policy, and
  being a membership store, we have given them the right to do
  that as part of the sign-up contract.  Once the exit checker
  found that we had left something at the register.  Good catch.

  The pendulum swings both ways.
