It is their store and they can damn well check your bag and receipt on the way out of their store.
It is my bag and my property and I can damn well walk out the store without them looking in it. If they want to know what’s in my bag, they can stand at the cashiers table and observe the items being put in there.
As far as I can tell, it goes like this: The UCC dictates the framework and implied contract of a sale. In it, the sale is complete when payment is made and goods are handed over. This can be changed by a mutually agreed contract stating otherwise, and AFAIK, that doesn't exist at CC -- at least not a mutually agreed one since I've never been presented with such a contract there.
Now I check out and head to the door. At this point they are demanding to search my personal property.
Not legally

- how they handle the challenge may have adverse consequences for them
I go along with with LPOs most of the time. When they get stupid, I don’t and the fun begins.
If you visit me will you submit to a search before you leave my property?
