12. Not unless they post it at the entrance in clear wording.....

...so that everyone knows what to expect. And that would be limited to anything observable such as in an open cart. You're still on their property, but everything in your cart is YOUR property now, and they have no right to detain anyone, without cause.

Once they begin pawing through your personal stuff or demanding to see inside something of yours such as a handbag or inside clothing, then they've crossed the line.

If they force the issue or have private security do it, sue their asses off is the phrase for the day. Because they become liable when they don't find anything.

Things don't ever get this far, because everyone complies. And the nail that sticks up (too much) gets escorted off the property.

- I don't want to sound smug, but I don't shop in Walmart or Sams. Not everyone agrees with me though (including family members who are addicted and impervious to my pleas). Just think what things would be like if they did agree with me......

* Not a lawyer either.
