      And you can just walk right past them without doing so, they can’t do shit about it

      So not really useful in that scenario either

          Costco can because you signed an agreement

          Walmart and similar can’t and won’t, just ignore them

              Not showing the receipt is not good enough cause to call the cops for suspected shoplifting

              This is very easy to Google and find out

                  No, it doesn’t. You’re not obligated to stop and show anything to them (again unless it’s Costco or similar and you’ve signed an agreement)

                  Source: literally haven’t shown a receipt for anything in over 5 years. Walked right out of Walmart with a TV in hand one day, even. Still never had the cops called

                  Oh, and again, just Google it ffs

      What kind of department stores are you shopping in that have donut shops in the middle of them? And do you think they’d actually try to enforce a receipt check for a donut that you’ve already eaten and they have no way of knowing you bought (unless they watched you buy it, in which case they already know you paid for it.)

      Lastly, unless the store has some sort of membership program (like Costco or Sam’s Club) then you don’t actually have to stop for the receipt check. They can’t legally stop you from leaving, because it’s kidnapping if they try to stop you and you haven’t stolen anything.

          Which is really just the first scenario (walking out of the donut shop and being accused of theft) in a trench coat. That scenario has already been covered, so my original “that’s pretty much the only two reasons” statement still applies.

              A churro is actually closer to a funnel cake, as you start with a choux paste which is piped into oil. Donuts are traditionally leavened with yeast before being deep fried.

                  Leavening is incredibly important when talking about pastries. It’s what makes a cronut a cronut and not a donut
