  Costco can stop you from leaving either. They can however revoke your membership for breaking the terms. But if you not longer care about you membership you ignore them like the Walmart checkers

  I did that last time I went to Walmart for something. Long line of people waiting to show their receipts and I just walked out.

  That would be unlawful detention here. Also, what about people that go in and decide they don’t actually want to buy anything after all?

  It’s not like you’re trapped… you can just walk out if you want, but doing so without paying and carrying full bags may raise an eyebrow with employees. Although I think I could easily get away with that in my small village supermarket during quiet hours when nobody is paying attention.
