Excuse me, but how does some P*ss-ant private employee have any right to search anyone who hasn't stolen anything??
The employee is doing what the management asks them to.
If you don't like the policy, don't shop at the store. I'm sure it won't miss you.
The stores that check (like Costco, Sam's, Wal-Mart) are low-priced for a reason. They can't have people waltzing out the door with pilfered merchandise.
