I'm sure there are bigger concerns. Doesn't mean that I like having to stand in line for someone to make sure that I'm not stealing something.
I never said it wasn't for theft prevention.
Costco does treat me like a thief. They force me to wait in line to show my receipt to someone (who doesn't even really review it).
It's idiotic and inefficient. If I wanted to steal something, I would probably be smart enough to keep it hidden for another 80 feet until I'm out of the store.
Anyways, it's clear that most people haven't bothered to read my original post. After I (in my bigshot fashion, puffed up my chest, screamed obscenities at the single mother asking for my receipt) rolled my cart filled with 80" TVs out the door (running over her one good foot in the process), I reviewed the terms and conditions from my membership and noticed that it does state that I have consented to standing in line like a sheep waiting for my receipt to be verified.
Don't worry, I now stand in line like the rest of you. Waiting for someone to look through my cart as they review my receipt to make sure that I haven't stolen anything. I do think it's an invasion of my privacy, but it is equally annoying that it is such a waste of time. If I managed to hide something from the cashier as I went through the till, why would I put it in the cart during the 80 foot walk to the door?
I do find myself shopping at Costco less because of it.

How? You literally just had 2 people do this, in a much more thorough manner, at the checkout.
The whole receipt check thing annoys me too, but mostly because it comes at the end of a trip to Costco, which is what I imagine hell to be like. Trying to turn it into some sort of assault on your privacy or an accusation that you're a thief is absurd. It's annoying, that's it.
