Legal discussion

[trularin]

I am having a debate with someone over the guy at the entrance to Best Buy.

So, some guy named John walks in and purchases a DVD. He surrenders $20.00 for the item and gets a reciept.

As he is leaving, the guy at the enterance asks for the reciept.

Here is where the debate starts. Does the guy have the right to ask ( demand in some cases ) to see the reciept.

I contend he does not have the right as money was surrendered for the item, John now owns the item and does not need to prove it to anyone.

My friend says its just easier to give in and it helps the store keep costs down.

I contend it is a surrender of a civil right ( Not being lawyer, I really do not know if it is a civil right ).

My friend says it is not a civil right and "why are you so damn concerned if this guy does his job?"

Anyway this goes on and on, so I figured I get the CC feeling on this.

1. Is John's right being violated?
2. Is it right to have to prove you own something to a complete stranger.

Keep in mind this is a public access store and not a membership like SAMs.

Please let me know what you all think.
