Do you get upset at License checkpoints too?

The best anti-theft program is good customer service. Anyone in retail can tell you that. Greet every customer, be available on the sales floor, and pay attention to customers' behavior, and you will not only sell like the dickens, you will also cut down on theft tremendously. K-Mart has never figured this out; that's why they're not only known for poor service, they now have such a theft problem they actually have to check people at the door.

DIE, K (China)-Mart!

Fry's has been doing inspections for some time, giving rise to the perjorative term "Door-Nazis". Many people such as myself simply walk by the checkpoint and refuse to stop, since Fry's is not a membership store. Essentially they take advantage of your good nature and ask you to voluntarily waive your freedom (and your dignity) to help them control their shrinkage.

"Freedom?" "Dignity?" You're joking, right?

It's their store. They can check your items against your receipt if they want. You don't have to patronize Fry's, but when you do, you play by their rules; you pay their prices, you agree to their warranties and return policies, and, if your local Fry's is anything like mine, you suffer ignorant on-the-floor help. But if you aren't a thief, you haven't a thing to worry about.

It's ridiculous you think this is worth getting worked up about. Grow up.

Interesting view... I think I will try that sometime... I like it... :-)

MY TWO TACTICS 1. Put a big grin on your face and walk right past the inspector saying "NO THANK YOU!" (Like he is trying to sell you something.) 2. If you don't need the receipt, hand your receipt to the inspector and keep walking. Say "je ne parle pas englais" if they try beckon you back. I do #1 at computer stores like CompUSA and #2 at Costco.
