I work at Staples, and I can tell you we don't do receipt checks. Measures are taken before anything even goes out to the shelves to prevent theft, and if thieves can get past those, then they're more than your run of the mill shoplifter. Things like office supplies (pens, clips, calculators) aren't top of the list of things to protect from shoplifters. Only electronics item we've had a problem with is microsoft web cams. We had 3 of them in the last month stolen and empty boxes left behind. It's not that hard to spot someone stealing shit in a retail store though. We've stopped a few people since I've started there that tried to put things like wireless keyboards and routers/AP's under their coats. ...Like I can't see the huge bulge under a coat of a router inside a plastic security box...
