Well, yes and no - once you buy your stuff from the store, all nice and paid for - it's now no longer their merchandise, it's your property. Searching the bag is no different than them demanding to go through your pockets.
I think what gets on my nerves with the whole receipt checking thing (again, as has been mentioned, Sam's Club & Costco are a different kettle of fish since they're private members' clubs) is that they are, in essence, telling me to prove that I'm not a thief.
Uh, no, sparky, that's not the way it works here. I don't have to prove that I'm not breaking the law. You have to prove that I am. I just hate that attitude that some retailers have that every customer is a thief unless proven otherwise.
Um, end of rant.
