| Wal Marts around here never check your bags or even stuff in the bottom of the cart. Only time I have been checked was when I was exiting out of the lawn and garden department. Of course Sams club checks my stuff but if it is young guy he never really counts the stuff but the older people always do.
When you pay for something they are transferring ownership of the Item(s) to you so it is now your property before you walk out the door and any judge would be able to see that. They have a right to prevent loss of property say when they see someone stealing or the magnetic alarm goes off then they can ask for receipts but they should have no reason to otherwise. If I was asked to stop by loss prevention I would keep walking and use my cell phone as a digital recorder since it has that feature and if they blocked my vehicle and repeatedly accused me of stealing something they would get sued for criminal harassment. Sueing them really wouldn't be for the money but for public embarrasment to get them to change policy at all of their stores.
