As a law abiding - and a law UPHOLDING citizen, I am more than happy to let em scan the reciept for 5 seconds to see that the item is listed, and then be on my way. By doing so, I am helping them keep prices lower. After all, if someone gets a $1200 flat screen because it wasn't checked - that loss has to be made up from somewhere.
Yea I could be an ass and refuse and let em make a stink and then sue them over the fact I had paid for it and they didn't have a right to stop me leaving with MY merchandise. But like I said - is it really worthwhile to make an ass out of yourself over them simply trying to stop high dollar losses?

Exactly. It's one of those little things that can help a great deal.
To look at it as though you're proving that you didn't steal something is the wrong perspective, as proving that you paid for something does not necessarily mean stealing.
Btw, I recently bought a TV from Best Buy, and they checked my reciept too.
