“Interesting that you believe all merchants should treat their customers as shop lifters.”

Nope. Only stores that have a significant problem in that regard. Most merchants don’t check receipts at the door. Those that do have to weigh their desire to limit shoplifting with the aggravation that checks cause their customers. Those who can’t will go out of business.

There are others in business who learn some basics about how to conduct a transaction, establish the sales floor, interact with clientèle, and conduct business without alienating good customers, while not ignoring theft and penalizing criminals.

There are enough electronic devices available at low cost today, to well document and track those who shoplift, while affording the merchant plenty of opportunity to not become legalistic or hostile.
