Is the TC# on my Walmart Money-Center Receipt "Proof" of their Plot to Declare Independence from America?

Sound silly? It should; 
but Hear me out!
I shop at WalMart---a retail-grocery/electronics/clothing/automotive/medical (etc. etc.) chain. They use a program called Savings Catcher---where customers enter receipt-information & Walmart gives back the money we would've save if we'd seen a lower price advertised elsewhere.
One of the pieces of information we enter from each receipt is the Transaction Code (TC#, "smudged out" on the picture here). Derek's Big Website of Walmart Purchase Receipts tells us, "The TC#, at least how it was explained to me by a kindly WalMart employee, is a company-wide transaction number. It is used to make sure the price shown and the product purchased line up."
That's where the confusion starts. See, I'm looking at a Walmart Money Center receipt; and it has a TC# on it! ... I guess the "product purchased" is 'Walmart-money,' currently at a 1-to-1 exchange-rate with American money.
I don't even suspect that Walmart will become an independent nation (or else I would see about having my monthly-settlement transferred immediately to Walmart-credit rather than American money in some bank), but one can see how Walmart-customers could easily make the transition to 'life in The United Franchises of Walmart' 
P.S. The 'scandalous' title--which I probably should've changed to a more-gentle 'What is the Walmart Transaction-Code for?'--is an example of why President Trump calls many news-stories "Fake News" ... because--unlike 'the old days' when you could get "all the info you needed" from the headline (e.g. "Trump Wins!" "World Ends!" etc.)--many news-stories today give you headlines that are wrong (with correction inside the article).

I'm glad it's fake news. Walmart owns the Asda supermarkets in Britain and I'd hate to think of THEM as an independent nation!

@mythociate I always wear my tinfoil hat when I talk to aliens. Sometimes, I wear it to read comments on myLot.

AHHH, I don't think Walmart has a plot to take over the world!
