WalMart search..

[Robbie Honerkamp <robbie@opus.shorty.com>]

Grrrr.

I just returned from the WalMart on Cobb Parkway.

As usual, they didn't have enough cashiers, so I ended
up waiting in line a looooong time. I check out and head
for the door. Or so I thought. An employee with a group of
customers around her called me over as I attempted to 
exit. She wanted me to wait in line _again_ so she could
look through my bags and check my receipt.

This was BS.

I let her, and I didn't even say anything rude. But 
it occurred to me- Who is she to search my bags? I
hadn't done anything wrong. At Kroger, employees are
prohibited from saying _anything_ to a suspicious 
customer unless they've actually seen them taking
something. I seem to remember there being legal problems
with a store stopping random customers for questioning
or a search.

Would the following scenario work? Lady asks me to wait
so she can search my bags. I ask her to show me her 
search warrant. Her eyes glaze over. I leave the store,
having seen no valid warrant to search my property.
