Re: PSA: Walking out of Costco/Sam\'s

you can basically just blow them off and walk out and they can't do anything. Now, I wouldn't recommend doing that all the time, but when there's a big slow line, it saves some time.

100% standard and I'm surprised by all the negative reaction here.
I've been a Sams Club business account member for 12 years. I've shown my receipt at the door maybe a total of five times in twelve years.
99% of the time there's a singular employee working the door and he/she is almost always engaged with someone. I'll just always roll right by, and as already mentioned in the thread, if they ask "Sir can i check your receipt" I'll always respond with a polite and cheerful "no, thanks" or "that's OK" and keep rolling.
I've never, ever been challenged on it. Literally I'd say hundreds of visits.
Same deal at Best Buy if the cashier forgets to correctly zap your merchandise and you set off the detectors. Just keep walking, if you don't want to mess with it. As I understand it, though, there is a value to getting them to de-tag your merchandise there, though, in that sometimes you can get hassled trying to return items which haven't been de-theft-protected.
