I have had an alarm go off at Walmart twice, but it's been quite a while ago. Both times I went to the nearest employee and showed them my receipt and bag and asked what the problem was. Both times the checkout person had failed to deactivate the detection device. If it had happened a third time, I would have demanded to see the manager and told him or her I was really tired off this.

I believe that stores fear being sued for falsely accusing a shopper more than they fear that that same shopper walking out with something. They may review the security tapes after you leave, but they are not going to ask what's in your pockets.
