In New York, shoppers are not legally required to stop for receipt checkers at store exits, unless there are reasonable grounds to believe they have committed theft, as per Section 218 of the New York General Business Law. Retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Sam's Club may request to check receipts and merchandise upon exiting, but not complying is not illegal, though it could lead to consequences such as membership revocation.
