More BS for consumers who are now being treated even more like thieves when they shop

Yeah. Basically they can't stop you from leaving the store unless they have strong evidence that you committed a crime. Not showing a receipt is not strong evidence. Probably string evidence would be they saw you pick something up and followed you to the door without paying.

Apparently one exception may be Costco because they make you sign an agreement before entering. But I don't think this has ever been tried in court.

Costco i could see being different because you have a membership, and rules that go with it.
