Are you legally required to show your receipt as you’re leaving a store?

Posted on January 2, 2023

Now, on to the topic at hand…

If you shop at Sam’s Club or Costco you’re probably used to being asked to show store personnel your receipt before being allowed to leave the store.

Question from Judy:  I bought a new car back in 2018 and it’s been insured by the same company all this time.
