Well, that was interesting. I just got off the phone with one Anne Kadet of
Money Matters Magazine. She interviewed me for an article she's writing about
the increasingly annoying practice of stores like Walmart shaking you down at
the door, demanding a receipt and prowling through your goodies.

Here interview was based on the reply I wrote to this blog entry

Most of the way down the page. Search for "NJ said"

The article should be in the mag in a couple of months.

I'm rarely stopped by the bag rooters, but the older I get, the more intolerant of this policy I'm getting, and the closer I'm getting to making a scene.

Other than "It's store policy", do you know if WalMart has published an official rationale for bag rooting on exit? I'd like to be armed with knowledge before I get publicly indignant.

I haven't yet made up my mind how I feel about bag rooting on entry, except to say that it currently doesn't bother me much. But that could change - probably in direct proportion to my accumulation of birthdays. Assuming I continue to accumulate them.
