As I was reading the thread I was thinking that I would do exactly what you did. The only place I have ever been asked to show a receipt is at Sam's Club, which, is part of being a member. Not a big deal to me. The only other occasions I have had to show a receipt has been when a checker did not deactivate a security device in which cases it was totally understandable and reasonable to me.Only once has a bag checker at a Best Buy INSISTED ON seeing my recipt. I had about 250$ worth if items in my bag that I purchased. I informed him it was my property at this point since I had paid for it and did not have to let him see it. He said they would assume I stole it if I didn't sooo...I tell him he can follow me over to customer service then while I empty all the items out of my bag. When I do he matches it to the recipt and says everything checks out. I then look at the person at the service desk and inform him I wish to return all these items because the guy at the door treated me like a shoplifter. The manager tried to apologize and turn the "corporate policy" thing. Like I told them, if you SAW me take something I can see you wanting to search my bags but to WATCH me walk the 3 feet from the register to the door and insist on searching my bag....screw you.

So go out of your way to try and cause a problem so you can try and sue them when they stop you. Good plan psmartin. You are a real piece of:cuss:
I used to work security at Target in OK back in college and there was a 5 step process I'm not sure I remember all of them but the gist is:
The first step is observing them entering the store. That is why you will see the cameras and monitor near the entrance. Video can be substituted for the ACTUAL observation.
I was LP for WALMART until they phased that out. One way to beat LP is to visit the restroom PRIOR to going to the register. Once you enter the restroom, LP can NOT stop the person upon leaving the store...REASON isLP lost constant viewing of the subject. You MUST observe another concealment and meet all requirements for the stop.
AND you are so correct...a bad stop is not good for your career in Loss Prevention.
