Quote:There are certain stores, like Costco, that have 1 or 2 employees standing at the doors and examining every departing person's receipt. If CC is one of them (and I do not know if it is) then he is a real jerk.
OTOH, if he was singled out, then I think it is just a case of him having an attitude and I am not so sure that I do not like that attitude.
This is the crux--is the bag-checking applied to everyone and fully compliant with universal access/ anti-discrimination laws like the ADA? If so, then the customer in question could always shop somewhere else. In other words, CC's policy is probably legal. Of course, unless a precedent has been set, lawyering up will be required. That being said, the behavior of the manager, clerk, and policeman on the parking lot outside was very poor, and potentially quite illegal.
I am not a lawyer, I've just taken law cases and been threatened with a couple of lawsuits. Which, by the way, typically cost a minimum of $20,000. Makes me wonder if this guy really knew what he was doing.
