Yes, I do believe that, otherwise why would they employ the practice? The
fact is, they check everyone's receipt because they don't trust their
customers. It's not my paranoia, it's theirs.
If you want to talk about long lines, waits and
delays, how about the
DMV?
You know, in California, there's a law in the Vehicle Code that says that
no patron of the DMV shall have to wait in line more than something like 4
minutes. It doesn't lay out what the repercussions are if you are made to
wait longer than that time, but I haven't had a chance to test it out yet.
