Back in the mid 90's Bestbuy would take anything you wanted that was locked
up to the register with you and hand it to the clerk so you would not touch
it until it was paid for. Don't think they checked receipts on the way out.
I went through this buying my first CDR drive back when they were $1100.

I once bought RAM for a PC from a store that insisted on walking me to the
register, then checking my purchase against the receipt before I could
leave.
You'll notice I said "once." Never went back -- Ian
