I always felt a little criminalized when exiting Best Buy or Sam’s Club… it is good to know that I can just refuse if I wanted to.
I know it will probably mortify my lovely wife if I get all rabid on that poor spiky haired kid at Best Buy that checks receipts, or those wrinkly old ladies that insist on leaving the highlighter print at Sam’s Club. So I probably won’t be doing this… when she’s with me.

Man! I know what _I’m_ doing next weekend! All I’ve gotta do is find the law in writing…
I agree, I completely dislike this practice. The only thing that will keep me from acting the same as the person in the article is my wife… she doesn’t like it when I get indignant about things.
If you decide to follow this path, please blog about it. I will find it quite interesting.
I think it will have to wait until I’m out of town (and my wife and son aren’t around). There aren’t too many stores around here that do that, at least not any that I want to be unwelcome in! If I have the right to not be violated without reasonable suspicion of shoplifting, then they have the right to tell me to get bent next time I want to shop there.
That’s all I need – another retail store pet peeve. I didn’t even realize I had this one. It’s right up there with “people who abuse the Parents with Small Children parking” and “people who drive diagonal across the parking spaces”.
