SOP at *many* stores around here is to check your

do business with someone who assumes I'm stealing from him.

With CompUSA I've been known in years past to tell them no they can't check
them, especially as the idoit just watched me leave the checkout line. At
Costco I actaully expect it, and it makes sense. At Fry's it is actually
the employee's they don't trust from what I've heard.
The only one of the stores I'm aware of that does this that I'll do business
with any more is Costco.
Powell's Books actually asks you to check your bags when you enter the
store. They've done that for about as long as I can remember.
With the current trend of not allowing backpacks, I'm glad I'm no longer
in the Navy. When I was inport, or stationed in Washington DC, I didn't
have a vehicle of my own, so I'd always have a backpack stuffed full of all
kinds of stuff, especially in DC.
