This is funny in an amateur Lex Luther way, but total BS. The whole duplicate or copied receipt scam has been around for a while.
I used to work for Costco, and still know many who do.
1) They never give a duplicate receipts "for taxes" - for that exact reason
2) TVs and other high end electronics are uniquely tracked
3) Door people work whole shifts up front and are only part of security
4) Employees are trained to recognize copied receipts - they have special inks and paper
5) They have cameras and loss prevention people/devices in the electronics section
6) Costco leads the industry in "shrink" (aka theft loss) so I doubt it's that easy or a major problem.
Sure, anyone could steal a few TVs during Costco rush hour if they wanted to risk jail. But, your chances are probably just as good running out the side exits with a get-away driver waiting just outside (that used to happen once in a while).
