They treat customers like criminals

According to the manager at the Canadian Tire Store in Spruce Grove their new policy is to post an employee at the exit to search all shoppers bags and verify the contents of their bags with their cash register receipt. The checkouts are all in the immediate area. I paid for a purchase at a till within 10 feet of the employee who searched my bag. She saw me come through the checkout and pay for my purchase. This incident made me feel like a suspected criminal. Most businesses appreciate their customers, evidently, Canadian Tire SG suspects their customers. If you can buy what you need somewhere else you should do it.
