Ok, before I leave work, just to sum it up, I also WOULD NOT STOP for them either, so don't get me wrong. But if a company chose to implement a policy where you HAD to get your bag checked upon leaving, I would not cry for the law to fix it, I would just shop somewhere else.

I wouldn't shop there, but if I didn't have a choice (or didn't know about the policy) they would have to call the cops.

Clubs like sam's club are different, IMO.

I am interested in why you think those clubs are different.

Because as part of the agreement you give away your right to privacy. It's one of the requirements that you agreed to. If I walk into BB, I did not give up my right to privacy.

That is what I thought you were going to say.

They just as easily make it part of the agreement of sale at Best Buy.

Interesting stuff, sorry I don't have more time to chat about it.

While I agree it is a stupid business practice, I also believe that the store should have every right to do that if they choose to. Law should not govern how someone runs their business. If they piss off customers, it should reflect on their bottom line anyway.

Law shouldn't govern how someone runs thier business?!? LMAO. I'm sorry, but you seem very ignorant to the thousands, if not millions of laws on the books that affect how a company runs a business.

Besides, didn't the company already check me when I went through the check-out, generally located right in front of the exits?

Sorry I am not a democrat.

Great, I'm white. What does that have to do with anything?

There ARE laws on the books that affect how a busniess is run. What you think should happen, what can happen, and does happen different things.

No crap, just because a law is there, doesn't make it right.

Your very confusing. We aren't talking about *any* laws yet, just rights. I don't think anyone has mentioned a law that gives them the right to do this, probably because it doesn't exist.

You said the law shouldn't govern business. I was just pointing out that there are many-many laws that govern busniesses. Most of them are there for good reason. Furthermore, Republicans do vote for laws to govern businesses.

OK, lemme look at it this way. If laws shouldn't govern how a company runs their busniess, how coule they have the right to seach someone?

Also, if you think it's stupid, why do you think they should be able to do it?

So, does anyone have any caselaw where something like this made it's way into the courts?

It's because there are laws protecting clubs. Clubs are not forced to accept everyone as a member and can revoke membership at anytime for any reason (in genenral).

They would have to make it obvious, and I would have to find a better place to shop.

I only buy one thing at walmart these days anyhow, and even that might be changing soon.
