How then can they deal with shoplifting and screening items leaving the store if they can’t look into the bag.

There are about a billion other ways, including designing the store so that you can only exit by going through a checkout lane. Putting a minimum wage monkey at the door is merely so that the store LOOKS tough on shoplifting, it doesn't really accomplish anything.

And redesign is your reason for saying they don't have the authority to check your bag and receipt at the door? And I will assume you don't think they can do it in the parking lot either.

Perhaps you don't know, it's not shoplifiting until they hit the exit.
