[QUOTE="Fudged Undies, post: 731218, member: 57548"] I'll play devils advocate.... Some of these stores have posted signs that state "checking bags" is there policy and what not. It is often annoying, especially when there is a line, but I have also seen them catch mistakes, that the cashier made. Yeah, it's the cahiers fault but the store is protecting themselves, at a minimum, from having to raise prices due to loss. I completely understand the points about our rights but if you refuse to follow the stores policy, I believe stores have the right to refuse to do business with you. Perhaps if the general public were more responsible and didn't eat grapes while they walked around whatever grocery store they are shopping in (like it or not this costs money), or drank a soda from the cooler and then "forgetting" to pay for it, both can be read as stealing. Not to mention that other customers turn a blind eye to these happenings and sometimes employees do similar, I have experienced this. I agree with protecting our rights but what can the stores do to protect themselves? The headache this guy has caused himself is silly, and I hardly see a store checking a receipt as being oppressive. Shoplifting is common in these places and I'm sure that's a big part of why they have adopted these policies. Inconvenient? Yes. Oppressive? I don't think so. You can always shop somewhere where they don't have this type of policy. [/QUOTE]
