So I go to best buy to look at some big screen tvs...see nothing that I like so I end up buying a few DVDs. So after waiting in 1 line for what seemed like eternity I am shepherded to yet another line after the registers for people waiting to exit the store. This line was moving even slower than the register lines. After 2 minutes I got mad and just cut everybody, walked to the front of the line and left the store. I saw a few best buy employess checking the contents of everybody's cart and shopping bags, I would have been waiting on line for another 10 minutes. Of course these employees had somethng to say about this but I just breezed past them.
What about the stores with security guards? These were just teenagers who were working the front, doing the checking but can a security guard detain/arrest you? What are my rights here? I already paid and in theory I am holding items which belong now to me. Can a store legally not allow you to leave once you've shelled out money for merchandise until they check you out? I usually don;t have problems with getting checked at the exit, but not when I have to wait 10 minutes to leave the store. Plain rediculous!!
