How is that a check against cashier error? Do the receipt checkers know that the toothpaste I just bought is on sale for $2.99 instead of the $3.59 I just paid just by taking a cursory glance at my receipt?

In any case, what I find odd is that you believe that, because you find yourself to be trustworthy, people who invest substantial sums into their businesses should therefore trust a very untrustworthy public-at-large.

Don't pull out the strawman argument. I said that I don't like being treated like I've just shoplifted something when I've done nothing to warrant it. I in no way said that retailers should "trust" the public. They should take every measure in order to prevent shoplifting...cameras, store cops, etc. But I draw the line where I am forced to subject my personal belongings (the merchandise becomes mine and my personal property as soon as the payment transaction is complete) to a search when they have zero evidence of any wrongdoing.
