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

I am *appalled*.
SOP at *many* stores around here is to check your package against your
receipt at the door. I tend to avoid those stores, because I don't want
to do business with someone who assumes I'm stealing from him.

Huh? Why? I never use plastic or paper bags. I just
take a backpack or
a set of bike panniers (or in extremis both) to the store. Much easier
and comfier to carry, too, and they get used hundreds or thousands of
times.
Don't try that here - you'll be talking to the police in very short order.
Store management will immediately assume you're shoplifting.
