A store dick can call the police, absolutely, and write down her license plate if she leaves without acceeding to an inspection. Anyone who exits through an entrance can expect to be challenged. Why would a door jockey checking membership cards be expected to check for goods leaving, when there is another line for that?
Why go to a warehouse store and expect to be treated like its a 7-11 ? How stupid can you get ?
What law did she break that the police would get involved over? She disregarded store policy. That isn’t even a civil matter, let alone criminal.
The only person who broke the law works for the store. The woman who didn’t want to wait in line was a boor, in relation to the poor shmucks waiting in line. But once she paid for her purchase it became her property.
