If you mean cost in dollars above Kroger and other chain stores, approx 10-12%.Originally Posted by kidicarus13
Value of being well stocked with better quality food? Tough to put a number to it but enough that the effort is worth it to us. Couple hours of our time each week.
If you're unarmed, you are a victim
I bring my own reuseable bags. If I forget them, I'm not paying for paper. The orginal law, as presented to the public, claimed it was an anti pollution measure specific to plastic, and heard nothing of any change to include biodegradable paper. I believe that must be a new corporate policy. The funny thing is if I go through a cashier, they never seem to charge a bag fee.

King Soopers and other retailers are drowning in theft/losses by the liberal legistlature that refuses to prosecute criminal behavior.
I show my receipt every time, just to balance out that everyone, needs to show their receipt. This is a condition of shopping at King Soopers.

Did they post a sign on the door? Did you sign terms and conditions? Pay a membership fee?
If you wear a shirt and shoes, you've satisfied all conditions upon entry. Pants may be optional.
Yes, there is a sign at the door that a receipt is required to exit the store.

Interesting. Thank you for clarifying - at that point I agree with you. We don't have any of that over here w/ Kroger (City Market).
This is all new, and I am sure King Soopers does not want to do this, but they are being stolen blind, and have to respond.

The closest Safeway and KS to me have eliminated the hand-carry baskets because people were running out the door with them.

No receipt BS yet
I am not smart enough to edit the "title"
There are better ways to respond than treating every customer as a suspect.
This is one of the tenets of Leftism- Social Equality.
True equality can only be achieved by dragging everyone down to the lowest common denominator. Instead of going after shady characters who look like they are going to steal, otherwise known as racial or social profiling, they treat everyone as a criminal, thereby appearing egalitarian.
This is guilty until proven innocent. The guard's glance at a receipt doesn't stop crime - it's conditioning. It normalizes compliance, the idea that everyone is a suspect.
It feels very Soviet: not about solving problems, but about reminding you who's in charge. And that's what I don't like.
And for those saying "what's the big deal, it's just a receipt check," ask yourself this: what's the difference between treating every shopper as a thief because a few people steal, and banning all ARs because one lunatic went on a spree? One is a private business policy and the other is government overreach. But the mindset is the same
In both cases, the innocent majority are punished for the actions of a tiny minority. It's easier to blanket everyone than to target the real problem. And that's exactly the kind of lazy, heavy-handed thinking I don't want to see normalized.

Well, the shoplifters are easy to spot.
They are the ones pushing a cartload of unbagged beer, steaks, and Tide detergent bypassing the registers entirely.
Happens at least a half dozen times a day.
focus on them rather than the 95% of customers leaving the self checkout with maybe one or two items that didn't scan.
