Is it the policy to search employees as they leave? Do they think the employee is stealing the store in her purse? I do realize that employee theft is a big problem with retailers, but I thought this display was over the top, and in front of customers.
Just wondering,

The Joann's does that here too! I used to work for them, but had to leave due to foot problems..It was fun back 2 yrs ago, but someone new took over and boy, it's like being in a prison, so to speak! The randomly do check purses or bags. THERE IS NOTHING posted about this, so it IS an infringement of privacy! Legally you can say NO, and leave. Our store is a big store, and since early this year, at any one time you can go in there and there's only TWO clerks!!! This past weekend was a BIG sale, the store was packed, TWO clerks!! and the 'floor mgr' was piddlin' around in the back. Therefore, I don't frequent their store often... I know if that's the only fabric store available, you may not have a choice...

Looks like the only way to manage at one of these stores is to keep everything in your car. It would be awfully easy to set someone up with items from here or there.
