So out of curiosity, you just roll out of Costco with a cart full of food and gear while the receipt checker tries to stop you?

I believe in a regular store you can just roll by the security without letting them check your stuff. They can make a citizens arrest or call the cops if they think you stole something, but at great risk of a lawsuit if they are wrong. However, Costco is a private club. You agree to their terms and conditions as a member of that club, and you must abide by the receipt check or they can ask you to leave. That was my understanding of the situation a decade ago, things may have changed.

At most Costco can cancel his membership. In other stores, if they find regular abusers, they can get restraining orders. Fry's electronics used to do that against a few customers.
