[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 731265, member: 61743"] In my opinion.... Once you've paid for something what is in the bag is YOUR property, not the store's. Without probable cause, they should leave you alone, unless as mentioned earlier, store policy is to check EVERYONE'S receipt. I don't know if a judge would agree or not. Speaking of probably cause, every store now has a dozen conspicuously mounted cameras, you mean they don't have someone watching the monitors and videotaping? Nevermind, they likely don't want to spend the money when they already won't hire enough cashiers. Store I worked at laid off the full-time security guy and kept the part-timer. I guess they figured what got stolen cost less than what they paid him.:blink: When I worked in retail we were told that we HAD to stop shoplifters outside because until they left the store (and stuff was outside w/o being paid for), they had not committed a crime. In fact, if they know they're being watched they will usually put back whatever they took before they leave and you can't do anything about it. I did bust the adult daughter of an employee for opening a bag of candy, eating half of it while she walked around, and stuffing the bag in a rug in the rug dept. We didn't press charges but she was banned from the store. Laws in other states may be different. [/QUOTE]
