How bizarre, having someone dressed as Santa doing security checks. He was the anti-Santa, taking away joy from shoppers. See you in a few days. :) I don’t blame her!

I got my bags searched at KMart by none other than Santa Claus! I was so irritated, but I have to live by my own works and let it go. See ya soon. By the way Breanna is a little scared of Santa now! :) Well Mark, it must run in the family. I got my bags searched at KMart by none other than Santa Claus!

He basically said that they should have offered to check my bag, and they screwed up. Other than that, they'll continue their policy of stopping customers of they "beep", and that's just the way they find is the most effective to reduce shrink. I suggest not shopping at stores like BCF, and especially BCF. It's pretty much unfair (and not really legal) to innocent people like you and I. The exception is Sam's Club or Costco. They can search you since you are under contract or "membership" with them. I'll be down for Christmas. I have my train tickets in hand!

Here's some ideas: 1) Just don't shop there anymore, 2) Maybe the Best Buy stuff set off their sensors, 3) What's the harm in letting them look in your bag, especially if you know you didn't use a five finger discount, 4) It is almost Christmas...more crimimal stuff happens in stores now, 5) There are more important things to worry about. Anyway, just a little sisterly advise. Take it or leave it :) See you for Christmas still? Hey Mark…sometimes you gotta let it go. Here’s some ideas:
