I ordered 2 items online, and went to BB to pick them up. As I was leaving the store, I handed the reciept to the kid at the door who then checked the bag for the items listed. Standard procedure, I assume. As he handed the reciept to me, he was looking in the other direction so, politely, I ask him "All set?". He turns around, and smiles and says, "Yeah, I just need to check your pockets." I thought he was kidding, of course. He then pats the pocket of my leather jacket nearest to him. I smile a "haha funny" smile and start walking out the door. He then reaches across my body to check the other pocket as I am walking.
A few feet outside the door, I'm thinking WTF just happened? Was he seriously checking for theft or just being inappropriately friendly/funny? Thank God I was distracted and in a rush. I don't normally take kindly to such behavior and thought about going right back in and raising some havoc. But, I had an appointment to get to.
I'm assuming this has never happened to anyone, right?
I smell a lawsuit!

If you were a chick, that'd be sexual harassment.

why would that bother you? They don't want people shoplifting. If you're innocent, just go long with it and that's that. What, you're inconvenienced for a whole 4 seconds?
your rights need to be defended the moment they are infringed. lack of resistance and you'll find you have no rights left
I guess.... I suppose I'm just too mellow then. I wouldn't even think twice if they patted me down. It is completely understandable to me.

Are they even allowed to do that? Strange. Eh, when in doubt, "kick his ass seabass".

No, they are not. That constitutes a battery and is grounds for a civil action as well.

i just joined bestbuy's geek squad and the first thing they taught us is that best buy has a strict policy of noninterference. even if i see someone take a dvd and slip it into their jacket, i'm just supposed to approach them and ask them if they found everything all right. even loss prevention cannot stop or accuse them. in fact, if you chase after a shoplifter, you will be fired. so i doubt that was a store policy. were you wearing clothing that was similar to that of a best buy employee? during the cold season, if we're wearing a jacket or holding a bag, we have to show the bag / jacket to loss prevention before we leave or we will be fired.
Khaki pants, black polo, black leather jacket & boots. They wear khakis and polos. Have I become...one of them? Seriously, though, is it possible he thought I was an employee?

I said "shouldn't" not "doesn't." It's the difference between me being a rnoron and you being right.Originally posted by: MisterJackson
