One visit to Fry's in Vegas was with a client. He'd bought something and 
turned to us and said 'Watch this!' as he walked towards the bag-check. He 
was asked to submit to a check and he cheerily replied "No Thanks!", not 
skipping a beat and walked straight past.

The checker was equally un-phased.

We have similar here in our Bunnings (hardware) warehouses. One in 
particular near me has a checker standing about 10ft beyond the cashiers. 
They only ever have 2 cashiers running, and the checker has nothing to do 
but watch customers walk 6 steps directly from the cashier, only to accost 
them again. It's ludicrous.

Regards,
