Yesterday, when we wrote about the Waterfront Safeway instituting a receipt-check policy, many commenters argued that the policy was something that would be good for the store, which has apparently been struggling to stop shoplifters. But Jenny Rogers reports today that Safeway spokesperson Craig Muckle said the policy “could be rolled out at all District Safeway stores by the end of the year.”

Does the fact that the receipt-checking might be less about preventing crime specifically at the Waterfront store change your stance? Let us know in the comments.
