Rights Violation or a Complete Jerk?

[Taem]

I always thought because you were on the stores property, they could require you to provide proof that you purchased the item in the first place, however ironically, most super-chains use these door-checkers simply to see if you were "over/double charged" for items. It's suppose to be a beneficial thing, right, not a red herring. I know I always feel more comfortable with someone checking my receipt because if I am being double charged, the door checker always finds it; example: I was at Costco last week and bought 6-packs of begals (2-packs for only $1.99), but the door checker could only see two because I had so many groceries, so she affirmed with me, "did you get 6-packs of begals?" To which my reply of course was, "yes!" Another time at Costco last year, I was charged twice for a $20-pack of AA batteries, but I only purchased one pack. The checker saw this and helped me get my money back for the pack of batteries I never purchased. So in my view, door checkers are very helpful if you buy in bulk.

Now if you only bought one-or-two things, such as in your bloggers journal, that's where I can see someone feeling like they are being called a thief. Our justice system is not Guilty Until Proven Innocent, but Innocent Until Proven Guilty. This in-store policy of checking everyones receipts with their goods not only goes against our legal policy, but sounds suspiciously like it conflicts with our Constitution as well - however I acknowledge that I am far from being a law major and am speaking mostly from "common-sense".
