The barcode on a reciept is mearly the receipt number - plainly visible on the front of most reciepts. This aspect would be easy to fake.

More to the point, you need walmart receipt paper (so the proper writing is on the back), a thermal printer, and the appropriate software.

Here's the glitch - all this would allow you to do is duplicate existing receipts. If the transaction doesn't exist, the forged receipt is useless.

To answer your question directly: Yes, you can forge a Wal-mart receipt, it would just be udderly useless.
