You're making it personal. It isn't. The policy, standing alone, where every receipt is checked, makes the assumption of universal guilt.

Of course, you can take the position of the store, whereby the argument is "no, we don't assume your stealing, but we just want to verify it".

It comes down to the BS expression, "Trust, but verify". If you had trust, you don't verify.
