    Great video. I figured these places have anything of value tagged that would alert on store exit. Interesting they ever do manual searches.

      Thanks you. As for tagged items, of the four stores in this video, I think only Ross does this and only on valued items. Concerning manual searches, I've seen it done before, but the suspect was guilty of shoplifting. One incident, it was a local, owned store. The owner held up the item (can of ham) for everyone to see, shouted "This woman was caught stealing this" He then took a photo of her, and banned her from his store. He didn't press charge.

    Let's be clear... by law he has the right to decline a search. He isn't obligated to comply to the security guard... in return they can ban you from entering their business after they call the police. In return you can file a lawsuit for the embarrassment and profiling.

    • @planetguam8475
      @planetguam8475  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Well said. I would've handled it like you said, If they refuse to be searched, I'd ban them from the store. He was detained, and prevented from leaving, until he proved his innocence. If you search me and find something, do what you will, call the police. But if you find nothing, yes indeed you will hear it from me, "They accused me of stealing, and found nothing." Being subjected to this form of embarrassment works both ways. Thanks for your input 🙏🏽

    • @agent.86
      @agent.86 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Stores take a legal risk when confronting patrons about checking receipts on exit. I am a member at Costco and part of that membership agreement is that they can check/ verify my receipt on exit. Other local stores have tried to do that on customers leaving the store, but you can just walk on by as you do not have an obligation unless they want to pursue it. There was an electronics store (Fry’s) that would have long lines exiting the store for these checks. I would just walk on thru as I knew it wasn’t a mandatory check. This was twenty years ago. With increasing theft in recent years some local stores have been trying to do the same… I still just walk past the line. It’s unfortunate that we all pay more for stores to make up for the losses due to theft but until it is a law to be searched on exit I’m not gonna consent to voluntary examination. Not sure the store that searched Gunther had the right to humiliate him but I think they didn’t think he had the resources to fight it. Thanks for your videos on Guam.!

    That's an illegal search! What he can do is file a complaint with the commission against discrimination.. that's a lawsuit! Even when your leaving the store and they ask to see you're receipt that's a violation of your civil rights! If he's still bitter go file that complaint and if the commission finds his rights was violated then he can sue home Depot for a few million dollars! He has 12 months to file, normally it's done on line . It's federal.
