2. Then, when I went to pay cash for my nifty new glow-in-the-dark flashlight, the guy left me, walked over to a machine, ran my twenty under a counterfeit bill scanner, and then sauntered back. Apparently, people counterfeit money!
3. Then, on the way out, my goods were checked and my receipt was marked. Why do they do this? Apparently, people buy stuff, put it in their car, and then walk back in and help themselves to another round knowing their all receipted-up!
They did the same mark-the-receipt thing to me at a Wal-Mart in Colorado. Apparently, "Thou Shalt Not Steal" isn't what it used to be!
Which got me thinking. If illegal immigrants are merely "undocumented", and its all just a minor matter of missing paperwork, shouldn't we refer to shoplifters as merely "unreceipted" customers?
Hmm.
And that's the way the receipted Ball bounces.

I've shopped regularly at Fry's in Phoenix (Tatum & Shea) and have never been subjected to the procedures you outline.
Fry's Tatum and Shea -- that's Fry's Food Stores -- awesome store at Tatum and Shea!
I was shopping at Fry's Electronics over by I-17.
