Interesting blog post about how showing your receipt at Sams and Costco is a violation of your rights.

Opinions?

It's not a violation of any rights, but it does show that many stores do not care about the customer anymore. All they care about is finding where they're losing money. If you don't like a store because of some policy of theirs, just write a letter explaining why you will not be shopping there anymore. Then NEVER GO BACK. If you go back they won. Find somewhere better to shop.

It's not a violation of rights for them to *ask* to see your receipt. It is for them to demand it.

They can even demand to see it, but that is still asking. If they forcibly stop you from leaving the store, then it is illegal detainment.

They can ask, demand, scream or yell all they want about the receipt, but that is not violating any rights. They only cross the line when they assault or detain.
