> It's arguable whether this is legal even if you signed a contract

If you ever take Costco to court, I'll follow along curiously.

In a lawsuit-hungry country like the US, I'm not sure how long a large company like Costco can get away with something illegal in their contract.

Signing a contract that says "you can look in my bag" doesn't seem like it would be one of the automatically void unconscionable contracts.

A lot of fulfillment companies search their employees when they leave. Its only time I've seen metal detectors used when leaving a building.

On the corporate side, I am required to disclose all my financial dealings including non-public equity deals(stock options in startups I work at) to my wife's work. If I don't, she can get fired.
