receipt check
Bag-to-slip comparison
A receipt check is the practice of verifying a customer's purchase receipt against their items as they exit a store.
Common at warehouse clubs and electronics retailers, the check aims to prevent theft and catch cashier errors.
Store greeters or security personnel typically perform the check: The receipt checker marked my slip with a highlighter.
Whether customers must comply varies by store policy and jurisdiction.
