Do you object to BAG INSPECTIONS at stores

Do you object to BAG INSPECTIONS at stores?

Do you object to staff asking to inspect your bag? (they are only doing their job) 

Will you shop at a  store that asks to inspect your bag or will you go elsewhere? 

Do bag inspections and security checks help to stop shop lifting and keep prices down?

If you object WHY?

Do you think that objecting to a bag inspection makes a person look guilty or they are guilty? 

Rememer that its a condition of entry at just about every major /medium/small store in Australia

If you enter a store that has a sign saying they bag check anything bigger than an A4 bag, that is a condition of entry..................do you enter?

I've seen it at aldi bondi junction with my own eyes on several occasions, next time I go I will see if there are signs.

They are alienating their customers.

I don't think anyone posting on this thread has ever been asked to open a regular size personal handbag.

Therefore I don't see what all the hysteria is about..'.noone gets to look in my handbag' etc

If in future a store does ask to look in your regular or smaller handbag say 'No that is against your store policy'.

So I'm almost 100% sure that the Aldi's I shop at doesn't display any such sign. Does that mean I can refuse bag checking?

I probably wouldn't  but just wondering.  They check a lot of bags there.

Aldi's here in Melbourne and I have been to quite a few different ones do not check any one's bag........

So have you been to the one at St Kilda?  They are vigilant there. 

But I must have good look next time to see if there's a sign up.

Seen what Donna? Ladies being asked to open their regular sized personsl HANDBAGS? If so..how many did you see get opened?
Was it one trip only?

I see those signs everywhere.

[donnashuggy]

I have seen them having their handbags inspected,

'They are alienating their customers'

As you don't know ALL the customers that shop in those stores..that is an exaggeration.

Do you think the store or any store will fail just because it has a bag check policy?

Were the handbags larger than A4?

[*ibis]

went to south tweed aldi  yesterday. there is a sign

but didnt see anyones bag being checked or anyone being decked in the parking lot

or any chemtrails

Donna..please be specific.. what size were those handbags? ..bigger than A4 size? How many do you see on one trip to the store?

If you are so sure the store is not complying with its bag check policy re handbags the best thing you could do is speak to management of that store and tell them what you see/saw.
