> As a white person I have never in my life cared about getting a receipt from any store I shop at

I agree with your meaning overall, but this is not a great example. I'm a white dude, and I worry about getting receipts any time I am going to one store after buying from another (while walking). I'm hyper-aware in stores of whether it would appear to an observer that I was shoplifting, having been accused of such more than once when young, so I take visible steps like tying off the bags I'm carrying from the previous store, consider whether the store I'm entering is likely to sell items I have in the bag I'm carrying, and so on.
