Yes i do, they scan the receipt to take inventory which makes it easier for them to order whats in need which in turn will ultimately enhance my shopping experience. I used to work at wal mart and know how messy it can be keeping track of every little thing in a department especially with theives running amok.

Now that i think about it, we could still keep track of what was bought through the program we used. Why do they need to scan receipts now?

This is completely false, lol.

Inventory is controlled by items scanned at the point of sale. It makes zero sense whatsoever that the door greeter scanning your receipt was inventory control. The only purpose of the greeter scanning the receipt is tracking that they are actually checking them, like a security guard making his rounds and scanning a keycard at checkpoints to validate they are in that area when they are supposed to be.

In that case my answer would still be yes because they were just doing their jobs. The receipt scanning was implemented after I quit so I didn't understand why they needed to scan the receipts and just assumed. I dont understand the keycard reference. The handhelds don't have tracking devices in them. But the door checker having one of those just seems like wasted resources. I remember there was never enough of those things to go around because every department manager needed them, people in the back room needed them, and sales associates needed them.
