I am a member of a discount store chain that insists on checking my purchases at the door. Am I required to let security at the door inspect my packages before leaving the store?
Exit bag checks are a store rule…not a law. Ordinarily, customers are not legally bound to comply with store rules. However, many private membership stores have language in the fine print of the application requiring members to show a receipt upon exit as a condition of membership. My advice is to cooperate with these exit bags checks knowing that the store is making a radial attempt to reduce inventory losses. If you still disagree with the pratice, don’t shop in the store or become a member. See my webpage on Exit Bag Checks for more details.
