A TARGET worker has urged shoppers not to be mean to staffers who ask if they can see their receipts.
She admitted customers who don't want to show the piece of paper can just walk out.
Bailey Nicole (@bagelznicole) urged shoppers not to get mad at workers.
She explained workers, who are likely on minimum wage, were following the orders of their bosses.
"Just maybe be nice, or just keep walking. You do you," she said.
Bailey revealed in the comments that she doesn't care if shoppers stop to show their receipts as long as they are not rude.
She said she wouldn't physically detain a shopper who refused to show their receipt.
"I won't touch ya, just tell ya to have a good jolly day," Bailey replied to one viewer.
Shoppers claimed that store workers don't ask for their receipts if they are carrying children or with service animals.
Meanwhile, others said they walk past workers standing by the door.
A shopper said they walk out holding their receipt if they've bought an item that is too big to put inside a bag.
The U.S. Sun has approached Target for comment.
Receipt checks have proved divisive, with countless shoppers saying they'll walk out.
He told the worker that his receipt was at the bottom of the bag and carried on walking.
Others have said they walk around the store worker to avoid receipt checks.
The inspections seem to have made an appearance in stores such as Walmart and Target, but this has proved controversial.
This is because neither Target nor Walmart are membership stores.
Shoppers do not have to sign up for a subscription program to shop at stores.
This is unlike the wholesalers Costco and Sam's Club where shoppers agree to a contract by becoming a member.
Costco has explained receipt checks before shoppers exit warehouses to ensure accuracy.
Receipt checks are standard practice and the inspections ensure items have been correctly processed, according to the chain.
The checks also make sure customers have been charged correctly.
Lawyers have revealed whether shoppers at non-membership stores must show their receipts.
Amy Loftsgordon, an attorney writing for Lawyers.com, said complying with the checks can save hassle.
She advised shoppers might want to show their receipt even though they don't want to.
Loftsgordon warned store workers must have reasonable suspicion a shopper stole items before detaining them.
"Without that suspicion, the staff can't stop you from leaving the store," she said.
Attorneys at West Coast Trial Lawyers warned that receipt checks must be non-discriminatory.
Criminal defense attorney George McCranie said there's no legal requirement for shoppers to show their receipts at regular retail outlets.
But he stressed shoppers agreed to have receipt checks when they sign up for a wholesaler membership.
