I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
That’s exactly what the shopkeepers privilege is, an immunity to false arrest claims when they have suspicion you’ve stolen something.
The two cases I found, the judges decided that refusing to show the receipt was enough to provide that suspicion
The customer sued the store civilly for false arrest after security held them.
If you called a cop they would say, “it’s a civil issue” because cops don’t do shit when businesses do crime to consumers.
I was at BJ’s wholesale, where they always check every receipt. Usually it’s just a cursory glance, but one day they had some cop wannabe checking off every item on the receipt, causing a huge backup. I pushed my cart past the line and left. The guy chased me out into the parking lot, took my plate number and told me he was calling the cops. Nothing came of it, but it embarrassed the shit out of my partner.
I went home and did a bunch of research. From what I found, there aren’t a lot of cases that addressed the issue, but I found a two civil cases where people were physically detained after refusing to show their receipt. They sued for false arrest and their cases were both dismissed. I’m not a lawyer and there may be newer case law on this.
I hate the checks, but it isn’t worth it to me to risk dealing with cops when I’m not getting anything from it and making someone else’s job harder.
Checking receipts when you leave a store. They have cameras everywhere and they can access my receipt through their computer system. I already paid, this is my stuff, they shouldn’t be able to detain me without suspicion I stole something.
I don’t raise a stink with the poor person checking receipts, though, because I am not an asshole.

For my Honda Accord you needed to buy a dealer installed addon(called home link IIRC) to get the garage door buttons.
Home Assistant works pretty well with Android Auto. If I had a garage door I’d connect it to HA with esphome and access it that way.
Most of the tubs I’ve had in america are too small for me to actually use. Both too shallow and too short. Half my body would be out of the water.
My last bath was also around 10 years ago in a hotel that had a nice deep tub.

The best part is how the OP never admits being wrong and still gets it wrong in the last post before closing the thread
That’s hilarious.

“Mozilla hates freedom!!!”
These posts always make me question myself because I’ve basically never worn deodorant or antiperspirant.
I’ve had jobs where you can’t be stinky(sales,office jobs, at a hospital), and nobody has ever said anything. I’ve lived with partners for 16 years, none have ever complained about my smell(besides times when anyone would smell, like after a long run on a hot day).
I’m guessing I just have lucky personal body chemistry, but I’m sure there will be some people telling themselves I’m just smelly and don’t know it.
