“Slippery slope” doesn’t apply here.
Not sure why so many are so eager to bring an end to this practice. It’s not an invasion of privacy. It’s not a “slippery slope” to strip searches and background checks. It’s an effort to stop shoplifting.

Yes, it is. It's an unreasonable search of my possessions. Would you also like to see the receipt for the clothes on my back, to make sure I didn't steal them, either?

“Slippery slope” doesn’t apply here. It's not a slippery-slope argument; I'm pointing out the fallacy that would have us believe that as long as you know what the store plans to do, it's okay.
Our awareness of store policy has no bearing on whether that policy is ethical or not.
