How in the hell does it deter shoplifting? At best, it indicates that
the store management doesn't trust their 'cashiers' to actually charge
you for what they put in the bag. If they want to "inspect" my
purchases, they can arrest me and get a warrant. (Which ain't likely to
happen because I refuse to patronize either company. Better prices and
service mail-order.)
